SERP Ranking in Yahoo

I remember a related thread here some months ago...

you should find some answers here

Back Linking primarily is a given for all search engines, the formula however is different for each. Currently Google requires a variety of back links with a mixture of do-follow and don't follow links. But what google does that Bing does not is require the use of geo tags for their SERPs. This is just an example of a difference between the two.

However, the main difference is how each ranks the on-site SEO is the biggest part of the difference between the different search engines. Bing and Yahoo are essentially the same engine operating on different sites. The biggest thing for Yahoo, and it can jump your results up 3 pages (I have tested it, it is true) is being W3C Valid. To be compliant, look up what is necessary for your site. In addition, there are many websites that analyze the on-site seo for a variety of domains to tell you the amount of warnings and errors a site has.

Also remember, that there are several minute differences between all the different search engines that come into effect on a SERP. But, be sure you have the basic SEO down before attempting to be compliant with the different nuances of the different search engines.

hi marshal i am agree with you

The best strategy is to optimize for Google and then take whatever you can get from the other search engines. There is not enough traffic through the other search engines to justify spending any extra time on them.

I want to second the suggestion to focus on google seo and leave yahoo as an afterthought.

Yahoo is harder to figure out in my opinion. In my experience I think that yahoo / bing like a larger volume of links and older websites. I think that they also love exact matching domains.

The amount of traffic that you will get from google is typically significantly more than you would get from yahoo.
