SEO Boot Camp Blog

It’s just amazing how often I see a forum post like: “I’m ranking good in Google, but nowhere in Yahoo, WHY?”

Those lucky webmasters that are ranking in Yahoo give these answers:

Get into yahoo directory
Get more back links
Put your keyword in your Title.
ect, etc.
blah, blah, blah.

I know those people mean well, but it’s obvious that they really don’t know how they got their page ranking well in Yahoo, so they just throw out some standard advice.

It can be tiring reading these same blah answers over and over for years, so I am going to break ranks with my professional colleagues and explain right here how it’s done.

Yahoo Loves Wordpress!

Use a wordpress blog.
Post at least once per week.
Be sure the xmlrpc pings are enabled.
Write posts interesting enough to attract comments. (natural updates)

Here’s an example from the blackhat seo niche.

QUERY: “blackhat seo”	seoblackhat.com	www.blackhatseo.com
Google rank:	4	1
Yahoo rank:	1	2
PageRank	PR5	PR4
Incoming links Yahoo’s siteexplorer	Inlinks (58,025)	Inlinks (1,744)
Title	SEO BlackHat: Black Hat SEO Blog	Black Hat SEO
RSS feed?	Yes, both types: type=”application/rss+xml” type=”application/atom+xml”	No.
Content:	Over 3,000 words.	About 400 words.
Pingback enabled:	Yes. X-Pingback: http://seoblackhat.com/xmlrpc.php	No.
Homepage links to homepage?	Yes, the anchor is ‘home’	No.

Both of these sites are doing well, but seoblackhat has a shit load more links that blackhatseo, yet he is ranking 4th behind the #1 blackhatseo in Google. seoblackhat also has better PR.

So, why is the Google #4 actually in the #1 spot in Yahoo?

Some of his 58,000 links that are not helping him in Google are probably helping him in Yahoo. Which ones, we’ll never know.

Other than that, it comes down to:

Yahoo Loves Wordpress!
