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?

Not really sure. I've seen different results also. It is very strange.

I think that natural because yahoo directory is .com so it will give you good results in yahoo.com rather than .de.
If you have not selected your region then go and modify your listing here
http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/countries/germany/ then your category.

I clicked your profile at this forum, but couldn't find any website listed there. Which site or what profile you are talking about? Please specify.
Have a great day,

Sites may be well placed in local search engines, but not in .com or vice versa. This is due to the influence of regional factors.

Agree to markov.. It depends and may be the influence of regional factors.. If you want to rank to one particular region or country, you need to do or add a new project for that..

The only thing you can do is try to optimize your site in your localized yahoo. Because if you work only in Yahoo.com for the optimization of your site, probably it works only in Yahoo.com but not in yahoo.de

Why don't you build local link on your site?

I guess it's because of your site's server located in US, that's why it gets good position in US' Yahoo.

It's strange to know that here is difference between yahoo.com and local yahoo ranking.
