Default Getting into Yahoo

My site has never indexed well in Yahoo. After I picked up the domain name, I found that the domain had been banned by some search engines due to the prior owners' activity. I wrote a letter to Google and got indexed. As far as I know, Yahoo doesn't allow you to write a mercy letter like that.

Instead, I use pay per click and last year started paying for the Yahoo directory. Now my site is in Yahoo but still pretty sad rankings.

Two things are working for establishing a presence on Yahoo. One is my blogging on REW. My REW blog shows up for search terms of certain neighborhoods. Two is my videos posted to Yahoo. When I get listings that look good, I make a 2-3 minute video and post it to Yahoo video with appropriate title and tags. At the end of the video I include my contact info and website address. Result: people visit my site after they see my videos. Maybe someday Yahoo will cut me a break.

Mike

I`ve never really focused on Yahoo what happens happens, Google is the one you should put all your effort into as the rewards are a lot higher.

If there are any search engine rules that you do understand feel free to share.
