Thread: No B/S Yahoo! Search SEO Tips:

hi mate,,

How to list well in Yahoo!: Yahoo! is a strong "on the page" optimization search engine. To list well you will need a decently high keyword density or many keyword rich incoming links.

Links are not weighted as heavily in Yahoo! Search as they are in Google. Yahoo! still counts many low quality links (such as those you would get from signing guestbooks).

Placing your keywords at the beginning of your page title is extremely important to help you rank well in Yahoo!. Keyword rich meta descriptions do a good job of aiding good keyword rich body copy to help you gain top Inktomi rankings.

I also try to use keyword rich subheaders to help boost Yahoo! Search / Inktomi / MSN rankings. Other than that I do not worry much about keyword density and I try to write the best I can for human eyes.

Yahoo! Search results are significantly easier to manipulate than Google results are.

If you have deep pockets or a large site that has indexing problems or have rapidly changing stock you may want to consider trying the Overture Site Match paid inclusion program.

You also can list off to the side or in a colored box at the top of Yahoo! Search results by participating in the Overture Precision Match program.

Yahoo! also hires a good number of human editors which remove "spam" from their search results.

Yahoo! Search History

Yahoo! was originally a directory, and Yahoo! spent much of 2003 acquiring and integrating the technologies behind their current search product. Yahoo! bought Inktomi for $235 million, and then later purchased Overture for $1.6 billion. Prior to being bought by Yahoo!, Overture had purchased the web search segments of AltaVista and AllTheWeb.

Yahoo! Search was launched in February 2004. They began crawling the web with a spider by the name of Yahoo! Slurp. This spider created a shared database which is used to power Yahoo! Search, AllTheWeb, AltaVista, and Inktomi powered partner sites.

Prior to shifting to its own technology Yahoo! was powered by Google.

Yahoo! Content Acquisition Program

Once Yahoo! started to power its own search product they announced that they were aggressively attempting to increase their index size. The content acquisition program has many parts which are covered in more detail in my article about it.

In summary they want to include more charity and quality resources free and businesses can pay a review fee and recurring click fees to be included in the Yahoo! Search index.
