well both work equally same for me.. i get almost equivalent visits from both.. still google always leads with a small margin..
I find that traffic converts twice as much in Yahoo than Google, so for the same amount of traffic, Yahoo gets my vote as the better SE
That's a good one, I've recently done helped a friend do some SEO stuff for his website and downlinking is where i concentrated. Might as well try goarticle and articlealley. Thanks Dan!
I find that yahoo relies more on your onpage optimsation than the number of links that you have. Whereas google is more interested in quality links.
Yahoo has never transitioned from its original status as a "web directory" to a "internet search engine" the way that it should have. I have been able to get listed there but usually only by accident. Thanks for the tips, though.
Hey, I have a quick question about GoArticles from those who have used it successfully (and a few ideas & tips, too). When people request and republish the articles, they don't seem to keep the links intact if they're written out with anchor text using "a href." How do you get around this? Do you use backlinks that are like http://domain.com or do you try to prove your entry on GoArticles.com as the "original" by building some backlinks to it and/or getting your author feed included in various dofollow RSS directories? I've been using a mix of these tactics and it seems to be helping, but there are still a few articles out there that got republished without the links that are ranking as the original. Still like Ezine the best but I'm always looking for more directories. (I was enjoying Articlepool for a while but they seem to have some serious indexing problems lately)
actually, it's not just Yahoo. Good articles submitted in quality article directories work wonders for Google too. and MSN. XD
article submissions work great for me. I am listed number 1 in yahoo and google for my first 3 word search phrase. Doesn't have a ton of traffic, but i'm working on several others. I am top 10 on google for 7 keyword combinations (all 3 word keywords). and top 10 for about 10 keywords on yahoo. Thats just to my site. I have many articles that rank top 10 on both engines. I'm hoping this starts turning into traffic. My site has only been up about a month. I'm only averaging about 25-30 unique visitors per day for the past 2-3 weeks. I would like to get to about 800 a day at least.
Wow, sounds like you're getting 50% of Yahoo's total network search volume Good Job you SUPASTAH! j/k I think
Indeed, thanks for the idea. I've noticed a few other article sites also improve rankings... in this order, i usually submit ezinearticles goarticles articlesbase amazines articlealley expertarticles articleincome Although, I've got no evidence yet that articlealley actually posts articles. =0 The rest seem to have a 24-48 hr turnaround though.
Thanks for the tips. I usually only submit to ezinearticle, which brings in some nice traffic and links, so I will get started on goarticles as well. Thanks again!
