Why does yahoo hate me?

#1 01-05-2006, 10:36 PM

Ok my site has been around for 3 months almost, and google and msn and alexa love it. Spiders are there non stop and I have great rankings, but...I am getting 1/100 of the spider hits from yahoo (Inktomi Slurp right?) and my keyword rankings suck...whats up with this? could it be due to site life? or bad code?

Any help would be great

Thanks,
Brandon

Mine is the opposite. Google spiders my site the most, but I get much results from yahoo. #1 for my main term in yahoo, no where to be found in google.

I got bored and looked for my site in google for the main term I'm targeting and its on page 20. In Yahoo its #2. I don't get it.

Yahoo hates me too, google loves me, well not that much but in comparison yes, I am totally getting in to all this seo stuff and Ive been told:
Google: mainly off page
yahoo : mainly on page
MSN: somewhere in between
I dont think this is much to do with that however I have been optimising onpage also. Yahoo 's spider is slower I think I just got 1/2 out of the yahoo sandbox, I am getting more normal stuff with them now. Not many hits butat least my site is indexed a "little better"

My yahoo rankings are totally missing even for a search term like "hustlecards".

55% of my hits are comming from Yahoo. Im very pleased pleased with that.

I believe im ranking high on Yahoo Search because I added my site to the Yahoo Directory.

I've read alot of discussions on other boards concerning this same topic. I'd post a link to a good discussion about Yahoo but I'm not sure how the moderators feel about this. The majority feel that Yahoo places a huge emphasis on inbound links right now and if you want to get highly ranked in Yahoo, you need to build more links.
