from my experience yahoo likes static pages that don't change a whole lot and the on page text is king

I should have said the on page optimization not just text |thumb

It's like Google, just that you can't get high rankings on Google and Yahoo at the same time ...

Not in my case... I have several blogs that are updated several times a week. They are currently on the first page of the SERPS.

I've got a bunch of pages that haven't changed for awhile and have no backlinks that yahoo eats up pretty good... I don't think that the never changing has anything to do with it, but the on-page seems to be what yahoo likes.... a good blog should pull tons of yahoo traffic

I can! :)

I'd post the terms I have #1 spots for in both Yahoo and Google currently, but I'm sure there would be some devious fuck that's reading that will try to outrank me or do some other malevolent shit to get my position!

"gay midget tranny sex" does NOT count. I repeat, such niches are not hard to gain top positions in. ;)

for many sites that seems to be true - but I can see some "top of the notch" sites listed very good on google and yahoo

Changing must have something to do with yahoo ranking. I changed a site which wasnŽt modiied for along time and was no. 1 on yahoo for a sponsor keyword. After changing it, ranking was gone.

After all, IŽm not sure if there is dependence.

I just had the same thing happen to me... I think adding to pages is ok but changing existing text and stuff around a little bit seems to kill your rankings

Does this just mean having good use of keywords in titles and body etc??

Also what is good for google??

I agree. Unfortunately my site (just a gallery of nastydollars) brought at least one signup per day. So never change a running system... |bow|

IŽll never touch those sites again. Better build a new one.

for yahoo yeah using good on page text optimization seems to be the key

for google backlinks seem to be what works best with "relevent" links being the best for example a site about apples linking to another site about apples is better than a site about apples linking to a site about oranges

same here... I didn't change much just added a banner and moved a few links around, didn't really even change the word density or anything and the listing fell off the face of the earth... I was thinking maybe yahoo flags sites when they change and waits awhile to put them back if they haven't changed drastically but I'm not holding my breath

I was ranked #11 for sex videos in yahoo with a site that only had title and h1 text and nothing more (just a few links to it).
I think the keyword density is really important for yahoo, link popularity not that much.

Regarding yahoo - Look at the number 2 spot for porn!!! Lego Porn??? I doubt anyone looking for porn was looking for that. Pages that dont change seem to be key! (this page is also quite high on google).

Why this site is so high in rankings is very very interesting.
