Poor traffic from localised yahoo search engines

On yahoo.com our site(see profile) ranks very well (top 10). But why on localised search engine like yahoo.de is our site ranked about 50?

Coz they ranked those page that target that particular location.. and as far as i know they give more weight on those site hosted on that location.

Yes, if you want to get listed higher on localized search engines, show them your backlinks and content targeting those local markets. IMO.

Have a great day,
Peter

is it really true? getting backlinks from the specific location? or getting links from a site where it is made?

well i think it has more weight if your site have links from site where it is made...

you can get a backlink from Digg.com using comment posting.Yahoo will index all the digg links.before posting check the Good Page Rank Digg sites.
So that you can improve your page rank

one of the tricks to rank in local searches is to obtain links from a local site and make that keyword visible on your page

Try to get links from .de site, try to use this site when finding related sites site:*.de keywords + blog/forums

Because it has different data centers that's why you are seeing different results. If you would like to rank your keywords in a particular area, then focus on specific targets only (Geo).

What kind of language do you have?

As mentioned earlier, you should optimise your localised website the way you do it for your english site. It is less effective in getting backlink from english sites if you want to rank better in yahoo.de. Try getting links from a .de sites instead.

may be the competition on local engine...
you need to build some relevant back links based on .de or hosted site on .de... this would raise your ranking on local engine too...

Yahoo are pretty desperate at the moment to get there local search directory going maybe you should submit to that.

maybe because you didn't focus more on local when you start building your site. So if ever you want to ranked well in yahoo.de, build links with .de site.
