Yahoo started to crawl my site like crazy 6 months after it went live. That was a year and a half ago. Now my site ranks 1 literally for any and every word in my industry. What did I do?

- Updated content several times a month over a year straight
- Use h1 <b> <i> <u> meta tags, alt tags, 4% keyword consistency
- Have my keywords listed at the end of the page
- Have between 200-500 words of content on each page
- No redirects
- No popups
- Quick load time

Besides ranking well in yahoo, I am top 1-6 for my same competitive keywords on google. I have been working my a$$ off at improving my rankings on google and didn't have to do any work really for the yahoo. All the above is SIMPLE!

But a majority of my traffic comes from google....

Search engines have different ranking algorithms. To rank well in Yahoo, you must focus more on doing an on-page optimization on your site because Yahoo gives more weigh on these on-page factors. Better work well in selecting keywords in your title, description, content and anchor text.

I've read somewhere that submitting to yahoo directory can help you rank. Ive tried it in one of my sites and it works, so maybe Yahoo prefer sites that they already have approved?

It is important to have a good developed website. Yahoo looks at on page factors together with off page factors.
