    Is Yahoo Search better than Google ? i made a site , it's optimized for Google ( for my keywords ) ... but i'm on page 8 in Yahoo this makes me happy for the moment and page 50 in Google , Now i ask Google display junk sites ? why sites with content are on page 50 and sites without content or only 3 words are in first 10 pages ?

    I think the quality on Yahoo search is surprisingly good these days. I still mostly use Google though

    My main site ranks equally well on both

    Yahoo search is improving but I still find Google delivering more quality results.. although sucky pages do appear in first page at times...

    I don't think this is basis for asking if Yahoo is better than Google just because your on page 8 for one and 50 for the other. I personally only optimise my site for Google.co.uk as I find the returns from Yahoo are not great, but others may feel this is a bit 1 dimensional.

    If you have only just submitted your site to the search engines or only just added your key words then give it time. One thing I have learnt about Google is you need to give it time to settle. One minute your on page 50 and a week later you may be up to 10 or 5. Keep optimising (back links, H1 tags yada yada yada...) and you will be on 3, 2 and maybe even 1 before you know it.

    Patience and hardwork my friend

    Yahoo is giving better results actually.
    I was looking for Mercruiser engine service in Italy and google did not show any relevant result in the first page not even the official Mercruiser importer. Yahoo got 6 relevant results on first page.
    What make me wonder, is that G shows mercruiser service manuals sold on Ebay. Ain't Ebay best G advertiser?

    Yahoo from my experience faster then Google indexing sites. Google always takes time moving pages up in search results. Once you are on top pages Google will give you more traffic then Yahoo or any other SE.

    I used to use Yahoo search until I realized I got better search results on Google. I can find what I am looking for much faster with google.

    Google is much better than Yahoo, I seen a comparison article before that made the Yahoo engine look laughable. They may have improved since but Google is still at the top.

    I agree.

    YAHOO search is very good currently

    In fact, as of today, two of my main sites are in almost in identical positionsin Google and Yahoo (Positiono 6 google Position 7 Yahoo) for the same keywords (pretty competitive ones)

    This change I have only seen today. Prior to that I was bottom of page 2 on Yahoo :D

    Not sure whats going on but it seems positive!
