    Hi, searching the term 'California traffic school' in Google will yield california-trafficschool-online(.com) as the first result. Its a highly authority site with PR of 4 and domain age of 4. But it's nowhere to be seen in yahoo search results. This problem has been there for last 2 years. Does anybody experienced similar problem? I doubt it has to do something with the sites robots.txt file. Please clarify. My second question is that, why is that recently when a site starts slowly increasing in Google SERPS the exact opposite is happening in yahoo SERPS (i.e) its results start to slide in Yahoo results? Does anybody feel the same as me? TIA for all answers.

    different methodology for sorting sites I expect would make it hard for a site to be the exact same spot for both engines

    I do not know anything about that website but my experience with Yahoo has been this: If you don't pay Yahoo the $299 fee for what they like to call a 7-day review and listing, all they will do is log your website into their data base and then forget about it. It will not appear in their search listings. But if you do pay their $299 fee, Yahoo will put your website somewhere in their search listings and that's about all you can expect from your $299.

    Google beats Yahoo search results hands down. I am not sure on what Yahoo has been upto lately but my opinion is if you are anyways trying to boost the site rankings on search engine, its better to concentrate on google rather than yahoo since not only is google's ranking quite logical and sensible but is the source of high traffic

    Yahoo rankings are logical to me. If they aren't logical to you, obviously you don't know how to get Yahoo rankings.

    zxcvbnm3007 one bad thing I noticed about your website is that all of your homepage links go to index.html instead of just www.domain.com/ I think this could have an effect on your Yahoo rankings. Internal links are very important to Yahoo.

    Perhaps you just don't have enough links with good anchor text.

    Yahoo concept of ranking is totally different, they rely on Backlinks and Content.
