Yahoo Optimization
I have a website that top ranking in Google with targeted keywords, target page is not home page its services page. I know different search engines have different algorithm and they rank a website accordingly. If we talk about Google then Google pay more attention to off page activities.
But in case of Yahoo it’s totally different.
Yahoo gives more attention to on page activities like Title Tag, Meta Description, Meta Keywords, Anchor Text, Alt tags, H1 etc. If we strong on page Activates you will easily rank in Yahoo.

But my question is I did all the things which is I mentioned, but my website not rank in yahoo. Please suggest..........

Arrggghhh - Meta keywords? alt tags? Yahoo -Totally different......... Where do you come up with this stuff?

Yahoo also (it is speculated) pays more attention to 'offpage' factors. It is just that yahoo is not as fussy about where your links come from. Relevance does not seem to an issue with yahoo - The results being that yahoo results are crappy (my site excepted of course). Yahoo also seems to give more weight to KIDs (keywords in domains).

my view is that
1) yahoo does not really weight links that much (well at least not as much as google) but goes more on volume
2) sitewides still seem to count as many rather than a single link in yahoo
3) Yahoo does not care if links come from link farms
4) Yahoo does not recognise nofollow.

In yahoo internal pages of sites with lots of links come up a lot simply because of on page factors. This is not saying that onpage factors are the most important just that if you have the juice it seems easier to get internal pages ranking. Yahoo does not seem to care about deeplinking anywhere as near as much as google. Seems to give LJ from HP to any page to a much greater degree than google. (all the above is purely my speculations and observations - you are perfectly welcome to think its a load of crap).

It's clearly stated by themselves they still count meta keywords and meta description as a ranking factor. You can see it here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/search/ranking/ranking-02.html

Use your keyword once in the domain/URL, but remember that having an easy to remember, brandable domain brings in more benefits in the long run then a hyphenated domain containing your keyword(s).

110% right! I have all the things on my website posted above by the forum members but still i am no where in top 50?

Yahoo is simply unpredictable no one can claim whether onpage is important or offpage.If any one have doubt simply justify yourself
here - http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=seo+services+india&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8

PS - More than half of the website listed on above given links are brands and they dont have kws in their domain name.

I said it many times but will say it again, unless a cataclysm happens, Yahoo! will never catch Google from behind.

Yahoo and Msn has its own mind. I would say don't even bother about them. Once in a good day you will find you are getting visitors from them. It took me 8 months to get some traffic from them, still not same as Google combined Msn and Yahoo. But something is better then nothing of course!
