Positioning Well On Yahoo!
Yahoo! is one of the newest and yet most important search engines on the Internet. Yahoo! launched its own search engine in 2004 while using Inktomi results prior to this date. Nevertheless, soon after launching, it became a significant rival for Google and MSN – the top players in the search business.
How Does Yahoo Compare to Google?
Google is the favorite search engine for most of the Internet surfers (about 50+%). However, a significant and growing number of Internet users are searching on Yahoo and MSN (45+%) and Yahoo stays second after Google with 25+% of all searches done on it.
Yahoo! has followed in the foot-steps of Google in building a powerful, sophisticated, and accurate “spider” software to read, analyze and index websites. Like Google, its spiders crawl the Internet from webpage to the next and read the content and publish the indexed results on their search results.
How Do I Get My Website On Yahoo!?
Just like Google, Yahoo!'s spiders crawl the sites, read and follow links pointing to other sites and consequently read the other sites as well. However, their spiders are much slower than Google when it comes to finding, reading and positioning new websites on their database.
To get your dentistry website listed, you only need to have a link pointing to your site from another website.
Another way, is to submit your dental site to Yahoo! to be indexed and placed on their search results. After submitting your dentistry site, it could take up to 3 months before it is indexed and placed on Yahoo results.
The fastest way to get listed on Yahoo is to include your dental website to Yahoo's directory of dentists for an annual fee of $299. We recommend submitting your dental site to Yahoo directory because it will also help your site's positing on Google and MSN as well as Yahoo.
Does Yahoo Care About Links?
Of course. Although not as much, but Yahoo! cares for the number of inbound links (IBL's) your dentistry website has. The more popular your dental website, the better position it will have on Yahoo.
How Much Optimization Effects My Site's Position on Yahoo?
A lot. Unlike Google, Yahoo's spiders put a heavy weight on the onsite optimization. But no worries; our dental web marketing specialists know how to optimize your site, so it would have a great position on Yahoo as well as other search engines.
