I'm with Jaan on this one. Just optimize your website. Usually your focus is on Google because you want the visitors from Google first since they refer a lot more of them. And you usually get them first from Google because they´re the fastest indexing engine. So you end up with optimizing for Google, though it really doesn't matter who you optimize for.

Titles, meta keywords, meta descriptions, <h1> tags, <p> tags and html links with the right keywords in them. That's your basic SEO. Get these things right and you will do good in all search engines.

I am 100% sure of this because the site statistics of the hundreds of sites I have worked on over the years tell me that the percentages of visitors they get from each engine, pretty much match the market share that each engine has. There is some variation of course depending on the subject of the site and where the business is located.

A good seo always try to produce more traffic for a site. Everyone know that the google only shares more than 80% of total traffic from search engines. Since the majority of people prefers google than other search engines.
So keeping in mind the basic seo strategies we can conquer this search engine giant.

Actually, depending on the source, their market dominance falls somewhere between 60-70% of total searches.

In most of the rest of the world that percentage is much higher. Here in Brazil it's like 83% and I read somewhere that for example in Germany it's like 95%.

I guess it is because Google is the only one that makes a real effort outside the usa.

ya its happen often when you are in yahoo and msn you are not in google, and when you google again you not in yahoo, but this thread was really nice

I think you must concentrate on every factor of SEO ....Do the best of all things such as on page optimization, get quality backlinks , unique content and much more ..... i think you must not wait for doing only one thing and must go for all .....because all that is a part of seo and cant get results on one. Whats the problem in doing total Seo ? Dont just don't concentrate on ranking in Yahoo only.

Jaan's simple analysis really does work most of the time.

I must say though that there are a lot of niggling little details that still can trip you up. One of my sites went quickly to number 1 on Yahoo, and number three serp on Google yet MSN wouldn't even list it!

Turns out that MSN Live is very, very sensitive to repetition of keywords in tile, description, and body text

Yahoo just like the rest, depends on relevancy and link placement on highly statistically ranked and quoted websites. Simple in one sentence, how to succeed on the internet.

what is black hat SEO ..anyone can explain?

Okay, lemme give you an idea what black hat SEO is. For the record, it's merely any unethical ploy that you engage in optimizing your site to any search engine. One example of this is having a link farm; you might also fall victim to a black hat strategy when a Google-banned site is linked to your site. So the idea here is know your playing field.
