My site example.com ranks #1 in Yahoo for the keyword "example" but does not show up in the search results for Google with the same key phrase. Why is this?
Does Yahoo place that much more weight on having the keyword in the domain name than Google?
That's why Yahoo! results pale in comparison to Google's. The name should have little bearing on the results, content and credibility are more important for good results.
I've created sites with similar age and no inbound links and rank very well for them in Google. Is there a way to find out if this particular site has been black listed by Google?
