    Question Why does Yahoo! hate me?

    What I really mean is what can we VBseo-ers do to make Yahoo! love us?

    I'm in the middle of a site redesign but when I'm finished I'm going to submit to the Yahoo! directory. I know the arguments for that are around 50/50 so I'm not looking to open that up.

    Is there anything we should specifically be doing to make Yahoo! eat up our sites and rank them high?

    Personally , i dont care about Yahoo at all. I tried everything but never had luck on Yahoo because people dont really use Yahoo search. Thats why you cant expect anything from Yahoo.

    I know. I'm not overly concerned, I'd just like to rank better because of the synergistic effect it has on other search engines.

    It also just aggravates me because I know I should at least rank in the top 20 for all my search terms.

    yahoo hates everyone equally

    It took me over 2 years for yahoo to dump my showthread urls for my /re-written/ ones....

    As suggested, i wouldn't worry about it too much. Even yahoo themselves have stated "we are not a search company"

    2 years??? Jeeeze. Guess I'll stop checking my Yahoo rankings so much. That is ridiculous. I mean here they even have sitemaps laid out for them and the still can't manage to get it right.

    BTW Brian, thanks for responding to my other thread about contacting you. I didn't realize you had so many other people you were working on ahead of me. Let me know when you are available.
