amongst web surfers. With nearly thirty percent of the world using
Yahoo Search when seeking information, services or products of
interest, it is a good idea to focus on some key elements that will
help to improve Yahoo Search ranking.
Utilizing online tools to monitor the progress of
your efforts and ranking positions will aid in gaining the highest
ranking position possible.
SEO Tips:
Improving Your Ranking In Yahoo Search
To work on improving your ranking in Yahoo, be sure
that the content of your web site is concentrated on any keyword
phrases that describe the products, services and information
contained within your web site. The title of each page should
reflect the keyword phrases and the content within a specific page.
Using attractive and enticing descriptions that reflect the content
of each specific page will improve the click through ratio of the
site once top ranking positions are secured.
Yahoo Search is one of the few major engines that
still place a level of ranking relevance on the text contained in
ALT tags and keyword META tags. Use ALT tags to describe an image.
Images that pertain to keyword phrases within the site are ideal
candidates to take advantage of. Do not "stuff" keywords in ALT tags
- especially if the image and/or the page is not relevant to keyword
phrases being used within the ALT tag. Make use of the keyword
META tag to list only the keyword phrases relevant to the specific
page the tag is on. Avoid using words or phrases in this tag
that are too general and never repeat any particular word more than
three times. Though you will want to take advantage of these tags,
its also extremely important that you don't abuse them, which can be
extremely detrimental to your future ranking.
Improving the link popularity of your site and pages
within your web site will also help to improve the ranking of the
overall site and each individual page. Links that are gained and/or
exchanged between pages of similar topics are ideal. Increasing your
link popularity by gaining and/or exchanging links with web sites
that have a similar target market also offer some ranking benefits
as well as increasing the overall visibility of your site.
Avoid linking to or gaining links from web sites that have no
relation or endorse free for all link pages. Linking to web pages or
gaining links for no particular reason will not improve your
ranking.
Last but not least, ensure that Yahoo's web crawler
is able to access your web site and find your pages easily. The most
important pages of your site should be accessible from your home
page, especially your site map. All of the pages of your site should
be accessible within just a few clicks away from your home page.
Deep linking may result in poor indexing and ranking positions.
