    I know everyone gives lots of great tips for Google, but are there any specific tips to help optimize your page for Yahoo and/or MSN.

    Is MSN still upgrading/changing their algo?

    Thanks.

    Yahoo and MSN count all links; themed linking does not matter match. Also you need to have the target keyword on the page; IBL alone is not good enough.

    So it's just all about links for Yahoo & MSN? I'm guessing content still matters though right? It's not just overall link count way above and beyond everything else is it?

    It seems like inbound links with anchor text is the only important thing right now. MSN is also updating SERPs very quickly and there is no age filter (sandbox if you will...)

    You also need to have the target keyword on the page; Yahoo checks it and if it's not there, you won't get a good ranking.

    Try 'miserable failure' in Yahoo and MSN, the keywords are not on the 1st position page.

    Yes, links are excellent for both yahoo and msn. For all my link building efforts in google, yahoo and msn have rewarded me more...

    It's not that Google doesn't reward your link building effort, but it takes awfully a long time for you to start seeing the benefit of IBL in Google.
