how to get good ranking at yahoo?

[magicbasket]

Everyone answers this question wrong (which is a good, legitimate one) AND they have been doing so for a long time.

I do not know what you will sell on your website, but consider this: the moment you sell more than one product on your site, you dilute the search engine's capability to list you by 50%.

Add to this the shear number of websites listing your same product, and the number of pages you have on your site and they have. Go do this (search your product on Google and Yahoo) to get an idea of what you are looking at.

SEO is old news. Try a viral marketing program. Both MySpace and YouTube have 25 million subscribers each. Make a cool video, post a MySpace page with your video also on YouTube, and make a one page mini site tied to selling your product via PayPal. Do this for each product you sell.

Video is the new way to sell and YouTube is the way to do it.

To verify this, go to YouTube.com and type in "pancakes." View the "Mr. Pancakes II" video. It has over 3 million hits. In it, the main character has a t-shirt on that says "Mr. Pancakes." To make money, he should have sold the rights to IHOP or Denny's and turned his t-shirts into an ad space billboard. 3 million sets of eyeballs some company would have paid a LOT to get access to!

People think Google and Yahoo are search engine companies, but they are not; they are advertising companies that give away free search in order to get large quantities of eyeballs in front of their advertising client's messages.

I work with a company that made a spoof video of Carl's Jr.'s commercial . They called us asking to post our video next to theirs on their website. They tracked over 20 million views by doing this, and their execs told us they attribute this video to obtaining an additional $25 million in FREE publicity. The video was shown on Good Morning America and NBC Nightly News, among many other major news outlets.

Everything you need to promote effectively is right before you, but most web based marketing takes a "follow the leader" posture, thus quickly burning out any new channel. But Gen X and Y'ers are opt in with video sharing and texting, so there is less chance of this.

Someone asked Clyde Barrow (of "Bonnie & Clyde) why he robbed banks, and he said "that's where the money is."

New methods of marketing will be coming up all the time. SEO will burn out to: all major advertisers have to do is insist that Google and Yahoo not bill them for bogus ad websites and click through from sub-vendor companies that hire people to click but not buy. This will crash this system and search engines won't have near the power they have now - and this is not only coming, it is coming soon. The "sponsored ads" fuel this business model and watch - like the mortgage meltdown, the whole thing is going to evaporate over night.

Mark my words on this: save this post and pull it up once it happens.

I wrote a White Paper on the RE industry as seen from the street broker's perspective and it revealed that most thought privately something was grossly wrong with the way transactions were being handled, but the official stance was the downturn was "a momentary blip" in the market. This information was so important that Jeff Davies, the Commissioner of the DRE in CA asked to see my preliminary findings. Safe to say he had good reason, overseeing the sale of the single largest retail purchases in the 4th largest economy on the planet.

Turns out my research was one of the few unbiased reports on what was really going on - without "spin," hype, PR, or a hidden agenda - at the time.

I think part of the key to ranking well with yahoo is sheer volume of links and the age of your domain.

An interesting (if not somewhat terrifying) theory. If it’s true you wonder how companies would survive in industries that wouldn't necessarily lend themselves to viral marketing. I doubt "conveyer belt manufacturing" would create a Youtube sensation.

Search engines won't die out for video, not just yet anyway

What do you mean by SEO is old news? It isn't and will never be. SEO practices keep on evolving.

If you want to rank well in yahoo, one thing that you really need to do is create a Yahoo Site Explorer and submit a sitemap directly to yahoo. Besides a sitemap, you can also submit an RSS feed.

Submitting an RSS feed and submitting a sitemap can help your site get more pages indexed and rank better.

i think there are some similarities in ranking of keywords in google and yahoo... i think using your keywords as anchor text will help you to rank high

[bluesky]

Many people still believe that Yahoo favors the on page elements like the H tags as well as creating keyword stuffed page copies.
