Does it take longer to move up on Yahoo rankings than it does for Google? Or is there an entirely different way to go about ranking on Yahoo? The reason I ask is because I'm ranking on page 8 for certain keywords on google, but I don't even think I'm in the top 40 pages for Yahoo.
Yahoo Depends more on on page seo add more keywords and you will see your yahoo ranking increasing drastically.
It's in my signature, not sure if I can hyperlink in threads yet. http://realestatewebsites.com Edit: Apparently I can.
The funny thing is, when you type in "Real Estate Websites" in yahoo search, we're now on page 2, but it's not the homepage that is, it's the shop, and a category in the shop (using magento).
I have loads of pages in my site but Yahoo has only crawled 12 of them. Why is that? In Google they were all crawled straight away. I have submitted the XML sitemap to Yahoo Site Explorer as well as having an HTML one on my site.
I really don't understand yahoo I was ranking 20 there for few keywords and after a week without doing nothing dramatically I was out of top 100
I feel that yahoo has some different mechanism to rate sites, and that is very difficult to analyze, as we mostly concentrate on google. Thought from my experience I can say the more the keywords you use in article high is possibility that yahoo will give you top slot. Also, use the synonyms of those keywords here and there.
NO....Just focus on your work. Yahoo is having bit different algo than Google but its not much difficult to achieve ranking in Yahoo..
In my opinion first you have to work hard on improving your index page in Google and everything will follow like the pages you index in yahoo and bing.
Google depends on On Page and Off Page SEO alike whereas Yahoo pays more attention on On Page SEO, if your site has quality content then it will rise in Yahoo rankings with time.
