Seo for the search engines- Yahoo!

As we covered in the first lesson on seo for the search engines Google, we covered many of the factors that would likely cause one to rank high in Google. Some of those search engine optimization factors include having good quality content on your site. Having great content is key for Google since they make up and send the most traffic to sites. It is the largest search engine and therefore should not be taken lightly. I always say when you do decide to optimize your site, optimize your site for Google first, then the others will fall into play.

However, when and if you do decide to optimize your site for yahoo, there are a few certain seo techniques that you should consider. For one we all know that the algorithms are constantly changing and many of the search engines look at keywords in the description tag, some the header tag and so on and so forth. With yahoo you can still be rest assured that keywords are a big element that comes into play when optimizing your site for them. As with Google who loves relevant links and quality on page factors. Yahoo loves keywords placed throughout the Meta tag, title tag, and description tag about your site and especially keywords in your domain name. This lets them know what your site is about and how and where to place your site.

But don’t be too quick to think that is all there is to ranking with yahoo, because it is not. Yahoo will not even find you’re unless it is listed and has links from other sites. Directories are big and known with yahoo; try to get your site listed in as many relevant niche directories as you can. And you will find your site being listed a whole lot quicker in yahoo and ranked a little higher also. Many people pay around 200.00 to 250.00 to have their site listed in the yahoo directories. Which in my opinion can help if you get listed, but there is no guarantee that you will even if you pay the money. So if you do decide to pay make sure you have a domain keyword rich website name.

One way to see what pages if you have any listed in yahoo is to do a search using:

site:www.yoursite.com

In the search engine browser. To see what pages yahoo sees linking to your page use

linkdomain://www.yoursite.com

Yahoo owns alltheweb and AltaVista so getting listed in them you are also likely to be listed in them as well. So focus on quality keyword page factors, and off page relevant directories listings.
