Yeah, It's Excellent Yahoo is really care about nofollow links so it's easily to get more back link in Yahoo search Engine.
I agree 1.2.4 for 3, it seems that you should study the keywords, also some are difficult, some are easy...
Google is the search engine that most people are using and this is the reason why should we optimize our site on Google.
i just love yahoo bot because google care about the adword so this adword screw all other result when a user search a key word
Theres no harm in getting to the top of yahoo. Its will bring in extra traffic. All you have to do then is continue to SEO your way up the goole rankings too. Then you will have best fo both worlds.
i think for the yahoo domain name does not help much, it see your on-page optimization and internal linking
1. Your domain name can help you a great deal, often a good domain name will land you the #1 spot rapidly on a decent search term. Yes I agree. I'm #1 in yahoo for link exchange service and I vary in Google from position 10-13. The keyword phrase in the domain works well with yahoo.
Google considers new sites to be spam, so it will take longer to see positive results from your work. I've found MSN to be the fastest to rank for keywords.
If you make a website using yahoo sitebuilder and submit it through their automatic tool, you almost automatically get on the first page within a week. It's pretty incredible. I've had at 5 websites get to number one on Yahoo within a month. It really doesn't care about link quality as mentioned before.
thanks for the reminders and for compiling these great reasons for optimizing for yahoo all in one place.
