Hey guys,
So I've built my sites and they are all promoted the same, so...why do I have sites that are on page 1 of Google and in Yahoo I don't find them?

Also, there is only one site I found (from my new sites - up for a month) in Yahoo on page 2 but it's not in Google.

So my question is depending SEO - Do Yahoo considers backlinks more than Google? According to its algorithm....and why do I have sites listed in Google but I don't find them in Yahoo and the opposite around, any clear answer?

Thank you for your help.

  • Nobody has the exact answer, or knowledge of the Algorithms. Since Google dominates the Search Market, most people focus on trying to figure out what works in Google. Google tends to like inbound links from Quality websites, and lots of them. Yahoo "may" like that too, but links alone won't rank you in Yahoo. If you have a good ranking in Yahoo, be happy. Learn how to improve your ranking in Google and let the real fun begin.
  • It's worth keeping in mind that Yahoo! is now showing Bing's search results.
    Also if you have created new sites, the different search engines will take different lengths of time to index. Bing (now Yahoo) in my experience has been a little slower to index new sites.
    Hope that helps.
  • Yahoo seems to focus a little more on on page SEO. Ie Keyword in Title, Meta, Description, Domain, H1 Tag, Bold Tag, Paragraph, Image compared to backlinks.

    • No One can find clear concept of algorithm for Google and Yahoo. Google will consider site age,meta title tag, Page rank, back links and do follow links. but yahoo will consider your site meat keywords and description.

  • Yes Yahoo and Google has different algorighm. Google more focus on Domain age, meta tags, content and quality backlinks but Yahoo more focus on on page activities like: Meta tags, Content, h1, etc..
  • well both are working on different algorithm & also have different way to crawl data in there data base, yes as yahoo considering more backing than google but it mean not that yahoo will give high in his search engine.

    • OK,
      Just saw that a site of mine is now #3 on its main keyword in Yahoo after building links to it everyday from PR and Articles sites!

      Now what troubles me is that I did the same to my other sites (they are all one month old only including the #3 in Yahoo now) and they do not appear in Yahoo...how is that possible?

      Having a site #3 in Yahoo while the other sites are not shown? Ideas?

      Thanks guys.
  • If you have your site in top positions in Google, then you have to worry about Yahoo...Being in top positions is much beneficial as compared to other search engines....So better focus on Google....

    • I understand what you say, but it seems no one can really give me a straight answer to my question, guess no one really knows how Yahoo works ah?

      As for Google, I have 4 sites that are on page 1 but in places 7-10 as I try to get them higher with publishing in PR and article directories...I hope it will help - ideas?

  • The reasons behind this is that we carry our activity according to Google.
    For yahoo you can do yahoo answers, submit website to yahoo directories.
