Yahoo Canada vs. Yahoo USA

Discussion in 'Yahoo' started by alexkarma, Aug 25, 2009.

    I just recently launched a web site with a very domain friendly url. The preferred keyword is in my url, so I knew that this would prove to be of some benefit when it came to the search engine. However, I am now very confused as to why it seems to be A LOT more beneficial when it comes to Yahoo Canada vs Yahoo UK - really all foreign countries vs USA. For example, my most preferred keyword ranks a 12 serp in canada, a 2 in the UK, and 416 in USA!! I had no idea that there would be this dramatic of a difference from country to country in the search engine. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know why this is happening?

    A couple of questions. Where are you located and where are most of your links coming from?

    I am located in the U.S of A. The hosting account is located in California, I believe. (godaddy). My inbound links, I'm guessing you're referring to, are mostly posted on sites that are in the United States, too. That's why this is confusing.

    It is confusing. I may be that your site is new, meaning that it may be fluctuating at the beginning. There is always the sandbox effect.

    It can take time to get ranked higher, how old is your site?

    It depends on how you promote your site but mostly the ranking is based on the USA but we can also ranked on different countries.

    This is problem not only in Yahoo, but also can be found in Google.
    Google.cn and Google.com sent different SERPs out :)
