Usually if you follow the same formula for all three search engines you will have success:

• Keyword development and ranking reports
• Website architecture in a themed structure. Develop and configure your website to be easier to crawl and index by all three major search engines, Google, Yahoo and MSN. The information architecture and navigation of a website is extremely important.
• Basic on-site SEO factors combined with relevant and original content.
• Relevant authoritative back links development along with link baiting and social media concepts.
• Log and metric analysis

I agree with Incred...
Not sure why one search engine better lists you than another. As I was trying to get my Google ranking up, I unexpectedly got my Yahoo ranking better than Google. See some of my site's stats:

Yahoo visitors: 55%
Google visitors: 40%

Yahoo ranking of my top 3 keyword phrases:
#1, #2, #4, respectively

Google ranking of my top 3 keyword phrases:
#18, #33, #off the chart, respectively
