[help] What does Yahoo! want from me?

I always thought ranking in Google was the hardest - apparently not!

OK,

Everything I've read tells me ranking in Yahoo is easy, but that google is is the hard one.

So, I've had my site up for around 18 months, and have followed the rules of white hat SEO... Google has paid off with great results and plenty of traffic. Yahho, I just can't seem to make a dent in!

For example:

Key phrase 1:

Google: #1, (34,000,000 results)
Yahoo: #145

Keyphrase 2:

Google: #2 (17,000,000 results)
Yahoo: #95

Keyphrase 3:

Google: # 14 (65,000,000 results)
Yahoo: Not in top 400!

What does Yahoo want from me?

The site is highly content driven, niche market based (destination weddings) and ranks highly for pretty competitive phrases in Google... It has no spammy stuff, no link farms, no affiliate stuff, no content not developed exclusively for the site, has several totally unique features and is positioned as an information resource with nothing to sell to visitors...

I'm lost as to what I'm doing (or not doing)! Any clues?
