Hi to All Im a professional seo freelancer. I currently handle a big website to my Client. I am running 2 keywords from his site, one of the keywords is already in google page 1 and the last keyword is on #11. I have 5K backlinks in Yahoo and more than 1 month already my backlinks do not increase anymore. The worst thing my Y backlinks slowly decreasing. I consistently doing Off-PAGE optimization such dofollow blog comments, dofollow forum signature, article submission, etc.. This is the first time i experienced and im speculating to have your suggestions or related experience regarding this issue. Thanks in advance to everyone.
They do increase, but backlinks on the same site for Yahoo usually get picked up and/or sometimes many backlinks under the same domain can be penalised if the search engine determines them as spam.
IMO, yahoo doesn't bring you much traffic . The decreasing of the link number is not so important. Just focus on google ranking and SERP.
Remember when you are checking out yahoo backlinks to disable internal links from your own site, by default all of your internal pages get shown as backlinks when technically they are not.
My yahoo backlink increase everyday, now it go to almost 10k. Use yahoo answer, it helps to get yahoo backlink
i agree with you. i do yahoo answer for fast index in yahoo. yahoo answer is very effective for fast index
I know that yahoo answers really helps in increasing backlinks. I consistently doing off page optimization. But the question is : Why my Yahoo Backlinks stop in 5K for more than 1 month and the worst thing happened it gradually removed my backlinks from 5k to 4k.
Perhaps the websites that you placed your link on felt you were spamming them and have begun removing your link? This is the only reason I would think your backlinks would be decreasing. Another reason is perhaps yahoo over counted, when I type link:mysite.com and check my backlinks it says 2,869, but when I click page two it says 2,265 so perhaps what was shown was not the actual # of backlinks. You should be checking your backlinks through other sources as well such as google webmaster tools and http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/.
Maybe the website is not containing many good content pages and so Yahoo might think why so many links are being added to a site which is not updated every so often.
I have submitted my sitemap of a website in google and yahoo, google delivered good traffic to my website but yahoo didn't searched any single page, whereas yahoo has indexed my website pages double as compare to google
