Hello.

Does anyone know how to check your search engine positions in yahoo for certain keywords (like Google Rankings)?

Thanks!

Uhhhh, wouldn't you just go to Yahoo! and perform the search? That should tell you.

I think you mean more than that, though. So, I'll offer you this free tool:

I use it a lot, and it's very handy.

I think he means PageRank. How do you tell what PageRank you have on Yahoo as you can with google toolbar.

Id like to know as well :)

PageRank is proprietary to Google only.

Yahoo! has just come up with their own version called Yahoo! Webrank, but it's still in Beta and not available to the public yet. I tried it when it first came out and it didn't work (it is a part of the Yahoo! toolbar).

I did mean more than that bhartzer... thanks for the tool - sounded like a really stupid question, huh?:). I'm currently using Google Rankings to track our placement for keywords within Google. It's great because I can see the results, place in a spreadsheet and compare on a monthly/quarterly basis. It would be just too time consuming to search page by page when we're coming up in the hundreds for some key phrases. So now I can track for Yahoo! too.

outze - fyi - I'm a SHE, not a he... lol :)

Yahoo is changing so much lately - I really don't think they have even got there finger on what there doing right now....

I get the hint that every time there about to release the new yahoo - they get a new idea....

Still some time to go on the true unvaling...

This tool will allow you to display your Yahoo web rank -> http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/webrank/

But it does not appear to updated since way back when.

As far as tools for tracking your rankings in Yahoo, the only one I am currently aware of is Web Position Agent.

Does anyone know of more of these tools for Yahoo?

Actually Yahoo did come out with this toolbar sometime ago that did have something called "Web Rank" similar to Google's Page Rank:

but with version downloaded now it doesn't have this functionality as far as I know.
