Default Google high / Yahoo low - 06-09-2005 , 08:06 AM






On Google my site is at or near the top on many of my target keywords. Yet
on Yahoo it is not even in the top fifty. Obviously Yahoo is looking for
very different things than Google is. Any ideas as to what that is? Thanks
for any tips.

It is probably also true that Google is looking for different things than
Altavista and Yahoo...

description containing ONLY your target phrase (no other banter)

Niel,

I've noticed that my Google and Yahoo ranks seem to almost vary
inversely -- when one goes up the other seems to go down. I noticed
this in particular after we distributed a press release that was widely
picked up --- we had hundreds of incoming links for a while from folks
redistributing the content, and Yahoo loved it (ranks went way up),
while Google hated it (we disappeared from rankings). My guess at the
time was that Yahoo liked the links, but Google did not like the
duplicate content. When the press release was no longer carried on
folks's sites, our Yahoo ranks started dropping while Google began to
recover. Make sense?

Perhaps you were penalized for fast increase in number of links?

You'll be big on Google for your on-page optimisation because of the
on-page optimisation but mostly because of your links. The OP will
have the ibl's but not the on-page, I'm guessing.

What was in the press release? Where on the site did it link to? Main
page or internals?

Probably you need more on-page optimisation.

Given the source they shouldn't have been, no-one would dare do press
releases.
