I have a fairly new website that has 273 total pages that has been up since Dec 2004. Here are my Yahoo details: 17 pages indexed 34,500 backlinks No where in the top 500 SERP's for my competitive keywords. I haven't even been able to find my site for non-competitive terms. Ranking in the 40-60 range in Google for the same very competitive terms Backlink count: 2340 All pages indexed Ranking in the 10-30 range in MSN for the same very competitive terms backlink count:50,040 259 pages indexed I just can't figure out why I am not there? I was listed in Yahoo 3 months ago, but since then I am in a Yahoo blackhole it seems. Slurp is visiting and crawling my site daily. I could really use some expert advice on this one. Hubert

My site is indexed. That's not the problem. I just can't figure out why it is not ranking well. I have thousands of BL's and I am ranking well in MSN and decent in Google. I am just not ranking well in Yahoo.
I have the opposite problem, great ranking in MSN, so so in yahoo and absolutely none in google even though I am more optimized for that site than the other two. I don't think I will ever figure this SEO stuff out.
Same here. I ranked well on Yahoo when I first put this site online. Some of the keyords were firstpage. Lasted about a month. Yahoo did a big update and next hing I knew I was in the cellar. I just can't figure out what Yahoo wants. It's like everytime I think I figure it out, Y! changes the questions. Hubert

Hello , Sorry for the delay . I wanted to know something , Where are you right now ? Both in yahoo and msn . Also tell me one thing , do you really think that simply getting in a search engine and ranking High is enough ? It appeared to me when I went to your site . My site is on number one in msn and 9 in yahoo for my target keywords But is that all enough . MSN-[search=msn]free search engine submission india[/search] In an attempt to rank higher , you have compromised on the content quality . I sincerely suggest that you target your homepage for one or two keywords only . I don't know how many you have tried there . It would be much better , if you make three pages instead of just one HomePage . Like auto insurance on Home and others on another page . Choose carefully .Do this . Search yahoo for the keywords individually . Note down the TOTAL number of pages found by yahoo for each keyword. 56 million , 42 million ... Whichever is less , go for that Now . Once you are on first page , then let me know again . Then we will start on with What YOU want . This is only for the home page . Do not do this for internal pages . Again don't do what you have done right now . This is not Optimisation . Middle page is fine But the first time I visited your page , I didn't go that much . TOP is most important . And you know what you have done there . When you see my results , you will see that I have added India in keywords . This is because I am India and plus It was less competitive . Now I am working on major keywords. This is how you should do it . Don't try shooting a tiger when you HOLD a gun First Time . Let me know if you face any problems . Bye sorry if I said something hurting. free search engine submission and free optimisation of home page .
I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post. And I will take your comments under advisement. But, with that said, I don't feel I am on the wrong track. There are many sites in the keywords I was targeting that their homepage is listed in the top 20 for all those keyterms. And I do have individual pages for each product with outside links pointing to them. I have many top 10 keyterms in MSN and I was at one time in the top 20 in Yahoo. I had the same setup then as I do now (I have just reorganized the code for better optimization). I also am ranking strong in Google for a new site (main terms in top 100, other terms in top 20, some even top 5) .
Sorry , I think I mis communicated . I never said that you are wrong . What I meant was Optimising the HomePage for only one or two keywords instead of many . I had a look at your site and saw the Individual pages . I know that you have those pages . What I meant was concentrating on a page with One/two words . When you have those pages , then using those words once or twice and with a link pointing towards from HomePage should do the trick . Again , I never said that you are Wrong . Many sites do the same . But do not loose readability for optimisation . Regards free search engine submission optimisation of home page . Blind relief
Because yahoo wants your $300 bucks. I paid for one year then stopped, my site is still listed in their directory.
In fact, I used to wait for over one month to have index from yahoo. it's terrible. I love google only
