How to get high results on yahoo

[bokesch]

I've focused all of my optimization efforts to work for Google, but now I realize that MSN and Yahoo are begining to fail me. Does anyone have a thread I can go to that has info on optimizing for Yahoo and MSN?

Hi Bokesh,

Unfortunately, optimizing for Yahoo right now is optimizing for Google.

That may change soon if/when they begin to roll out Inktomi results. Many believe that there are major changes looming.

As for optimizing for MSN, again we're talking about optimizing for other databases: Looksmart/Wisenut and Ink.

I totally hear what you're saying about the traffic. MSN can lead to decent traffic, but right now Google's the major provider.

2_much said it just the way it is. Right now Yahoo is Google, and for the most part MSN is Google too. I used to be able to tell you how to optimize for Yahoo, but ever since Black Wednesday last October - Google ruined that.

As for Yahoo, it will be very interesting to see what Yahoo does in the coming months. Most speculate that INK will take over the SE Technology for Yahoo and Google will get the boot. Very interesting, truthfully the SE market is very unstable right now, meaning with all of it's changes. The best bet is to optimize for Google right now, and you should get the majority of traffic (Google/Yahoo/MSN). I sure wish I was on top of the game with Google as I was with Yahoo, because if so my business would have tripled for the most part rather than going into a downward spiral.

Good luck to you, and good luck to everyone.

MSN = looksmart/zeal listing + link pop + more but those first two will take you a long way.

Yahoo search = Google. If your doing well on Google, but not Yahoo, somthing is wrong.
