I am ranking decently on both yahoo and msn for different keywords. It would be nice to rank well for all the keyword together on both search engines. Is this being greedy? Will trying to "cross optimize" for all the keywords hurt me with the other search engine due to differences in algorithms? I'm still in the sandbox with google so these are my 2 main sources of traffic. Any advise is appreciated. Thanks
Build the site for visitors and get many links....there really aren't any tricks anymore for ranking better in SE's. Eventually Google will come around and your traffic from them will be 10 times that of other search engines. The wait is frustrating, but now my site ranks in the top 3 for my keywords in all the major search engines.
i optimised for msn, and after about 1 - 2 months yahoo started ranking my pages too. I would optimise for msn (since its seems the quickest to index & rank pages IMO) and then yahoo, google would be there but if its a new sites its pointless trying to get traffic untill your out the sandbox (unless ur lucky) and FYI my 2nd page listing on msn brings just as much traffic as my top 10 spot on yahoo for a variety of keywords.
Yep, can't argue with that. However, here is the rank on which search engines will index most of your pages first: MSN Yahoo! Google That's basically the order that MOST websites get indexed by. Can't gaurantee anything though!
There's nothing stopping you optimising for all 3 major engines. Just recognise their differences and build them into your strategy.
You are not being greedy its good to rank in all the search engines. All what you need to know is to learn the tricks of there ranking and apply them.
.A search engine optimization campaign pairs on-site optimization with off-site tactics, which means you make changes to your site itself while building a portfolio of natural looking back links to increase your organic rankings. When Internet users search for your products or services, your website needs to be the first one they find
