Re: Yahoo/Google/MSN Serp Differences
So the real problem here is that your not ranking at Yahoo. Do you interlink websites with any similar content?
I also agree with most posted on what each search engine like:
Google:
Primarily back link weighted. Spamming in this fashion and buying links can and still works easily, until you are caught by hand. Why do you think those like Matt Cutts keep trying to scare everyone to not by links. They cant seem to be able to stop the spammers, so until they fine tune the algo and stop weighting anchor text so much in back links spammers can win. of course highly authoritative websites also rank perfectly fine.
Yahoo:
Mixture of backlinks and content. I see that they also prefer more valid code. Don't internal link similar websites or form mini-networks. You will get caught
MSN:
Prefer fresh content to an extant. Like on-site factors heavily, but like the three above back links are are factor.
These are not bible above, but some findings on looking at hundreds of websites over time. I agree with Dartman that Yahoo does get such a small amount of traffic compared to Google you would do well to focus your efforts on ranking well on niche directories, relevant websites and blogs. Utilizing social media websites like StumbleUpon can also send some great traffic.
