HI friends, I need your suggestions - I have a site which is ranking good in google and msn but it is not ranking in Yahoo... so what do you thinks ... so how can i rank in yahoo as well will appreciate your advice..
I have had the same problem for a long time with one of our websites. I eagerly await some responses.
I've been told I'm wrong, but my bikini pics site ranked much better (page 1 on a great keyword) with these items... 1)Old domain name. 2)No hidden info on domain registration. 3)Privacy Policy 4)ICRA compliance/labeling. (Free, only requires a special meta tag). 5)Domain registration paid for multiple years. I think Y likes to build "trust" with websites. I also think that the items above are "usually" not on spammy sites. I was wondering myself a couple of months ago, as to why most well ranking websites in Google were not ranking well at all in Yahoo. These are the items I discovered that alot of top Yahoo rankers had. However, 1st page on Yahoo only delivers about 70% of 1st page on Google for the same term. (In my particular niche).

You all may want to read this: How to Optimize for Yahoo! It covers about all you need to know about Yahoo and improving your SERPs in it.
Aside from the things that Budhanes said, you can always buy a Yahoo directory listing. I've found them to work wonderfully.
I wish somebody would just try me advice (free) and report back! I'm telling you, it will work for Yahoo. It costs nothing,(domain registration, oh well, $10) and usually, if you have a quality site, you should have/do these items anyways. Its all about "trust" with Yahoo! Do a search on a keyword in Google, find the top 10 sites, compare them to my list above, than, do the same for yahoo. You'll see, these items are important to Yahoo.
stay away from paid services or anything related to that.. free ones are better imo BTW, here's an article about Yahoo Optimization
