JimWorld Forums: Ranking top in Google but not Yahoo

Hello Friends,

I had optimized my site Royal Rickshaw, a fashion related website, where all keywords are in 1st page in Google and in Yahoo. But three keywords like fashion Dubai, Dubai fashion, fashion in Dubai are in 1st page in Google but still no listing in Yahoo. Now just before I had changed Meta tag again.

Can anyone tell me what’s the exact reason, where all other keywords are present in Yahoo and Google in 1st page, why not these 3.


I eagerly wait for positive response.

Thanking you

Annie

It took me three clicks to see any content at all, and then not much.

Yahoo! relies a little more than Google on 'on page' stuff - less easy to get a good result with quality links alone.

I'd lose some of the gorgeous graphics, which puts off people as much as SEs, and concentrate on getting something for the reader, that Yahoo! can share.

All these splash pages may impress designers, and win awards, but repeat visitors get bored to death and give up, while spiders wander aimlessly in search of content to eat.

By all means have beautiful pages, but the priority must be beautiful content.

Quadrille is right, of course smile

entry pages are out and serve no purpose for usability, navigation, marketing and search opts

you have very little content

If users cannot find what they are looking for in 10 seconds or less, they will leave.

The graphics are gorgeous though

but you havent done anything to optimise the site other than fill the title tag of each page with keywords. Yahoo needs more than that.. i'm suprised you got away with it on google.
