I noticed Yahoo and googles search positions are very different. Does anyone know the biggest factors that determine these differences?
I'm not sure why they are so different but I have noticed my site showing higher in Yahoo as of late for particular keywords where as before they were higher in Google.
They both have completely different algorithms through which they evaluate the site's rankings, we get to learn alot about Google's algorithms but couldn't get a deep knowledge about yahoo as their is not sufficient information available about yahoo algorithms. The only way you can learn about yahoo is through practicing.
i think the bot search of Google and Yahoo work with different algorithms. So the ranking is different. I use phpBB see the google crawler active more.
Each search engine has their own algorithm and ranking factors. Google and Yahoo are completely different and look for different things. I think its easier to rank in Yahoo personally, its not as advanced or well developed as Google. After the recent Panda updates, its getting harder to rank in Google!
we all know that we need a good backlinks to rank well in G many guru's already teach that but any one here knows what is the main factor to rank well in yahoo? it seems that its not just backlinks? (if it does, most site that rank well in G will definitely also rank well to in yahoo, but it doesn't seem so)
i would like to refer you to the below link: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2351001#post17115907 make sure to add the website into yahoo site explorer and also add or upgrade the content of your website frequently. these 2 things will help you a lot ... rest of the things you can check from the above mentioned link.
yea, it's just that my site already rank #1 in G, so I'm just looking for extra traffic from yahoo YSE has been shut down now wondering if Bing webmaster tool gives the same result?
