I am top 10 even top 5 for some key phrases of mine in google.. such as "arizona web design" and "arizona web development"

The same searches find me down in the 50+ range on yahoo.

What are some specific techniques to increase rankings on yahoo... any ideas would be great. Please glance over my site and see if anything that could be more yahoo friendly pops out.

Thanks.

my keyword is 'database design leicester'
I am top 5 in yahoo,teoma etc. but 30-40 in google.
The quickest way you could improve your yahoo rankings is to set up a my yahoo page and put your RSS feed on it.
Any tips for me for google?

How do you set up an RSS feed in MyYahoo? I'm logged in and cannot seem to figure it out.

Thanks in advance!

Node,

I have got reasonable rankings on Google, mainly due to the title of the pages.

e.g. WYKO the company I work for sell HV Coils. The title for the page is :

Coils UK Manufacture HV Coils/LV Coils Repair/Manufacture - WYKO Industrial Services.

Please note the product features first, then the company name, I also have the headings being fed a variable which updates the alt tags on all of the images, and a heading variable to allow the Sub Title of the page to change.

Hope this helps and I'm not teaching you to suck eggs !!

Take a look at my post:-
Simple way to start an RSS feed (http://www.webproworld.com/viewtopic.php?t=30563)

This should give you an idea. It links to my site which explains RSS, gives you free software to setup an RSS feed, then tells you how to add the right tags to your HTML pages and where you can submit your blog.

Comments on my post or software would be much appreciated!
