rankings in yahoo

A company is ranked position 8 in yahoo.

Is there anything specific to yahoo that I can do to make the site jump up a few places.

Same techniques used to rank higher in google will help in Yahoo.

Descriptive Title
Keywords
Meta Description
h1, h2, h3 (you are lacking those or out of order)
Text that is well written emphasizing the three top keyword phrases you are trying to rank well with.
Backlinks -Quality, relevant links
Content, content content. Different content that is rich and interesting on each page.
Reduce javascript (if applicable), reduce flash (if applicable)
Descriptive urls

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply

Its just that a particular site ranks well within Google but slightly less well (but still well) within Yahoo.

Was wondering where we might be going wrong with yahoo.

Yahoo is famous for having irrelevant sites listed. Check and see what is above you in Yahoo... there might actually be sites that aren't as relevant as your site for that particular search.

I don't have the actual answer. If you are doing well in Google, that's probably all that really matters since google users far outweigh Yahoo users.

I had the same opinion with Lchad. Search engine algorithms are different so Yahoo varies from Google and other search engines. But what important is make your best in optimizing your site, of course your hardwork will be paid off soon.

Using the keywords or phrases that you'd like your site to comeup in, check to see what sites currently come up. Then, examine their meta tags incorporate some of theirs into yours. This seems to work well for yahoo, but not Google.

Also make sure your footerhas relevent keyword terms.

Hope that helps,
