I will be submiting my web site to Yahoo within a couple of weeks. I need some ethical ranking tips.
I am aware that the presence of keyword in the title and description of a site is an important factor.
But if a site is very unpopular, and can not make the visitors stick for sometime, the title and description will not help for a longer period of time to retain the ranks. Once a new site is submitted, if it has got keyword rich title and description, it is placed at a higher position and for a certain period of time it is on a trial period. During that period it is checked how much the visitors are happy with it. i.e click popularity, (how long the visitors stay at your site)
After observing the stickyness of the site, when the trial period is over, the site is given a rank depending on how much it satisfied the users and ofcourse the title and description factor is there.
This much I know about Yahoo.
My site is extremely content rich and I expect to get a good score in click popularity.
BUT IF THERE IS SOME OTHER THINGS , that is important to get and RETAIN Yahoo rank, please , please advice.
We could begin to tell you everything we know, and how to help. But I am afraid, this next Yahoo update all of us will be back to square one. I hope its not that way, thats for sure, because my business could be devistated.
Just keep checking the WW forums. There are a lot of messages posted in the Google News Forum conserning Yahoogle deal, if its going to happen or not.
Good luck to you, and good luck to everyone.
