When it comes to search engine rankings do you have several Yahoo AND Google covered?
You’d think so but I bet not.
In fact have you even as discomposed to check to see how your site is doing in the "new and improved" Yahoo?
Might be a nice thing to do you know. Since Yahoo could be, or rather should be, accounting for mayhap 20-25% of your site’s total traffic?
But if you’re like most you’re probably still focused optical device
like on Google. And maybe not even as aware of the little best-known possibility Yahoo has to offer right now.
Opportunity?
Right. This is the absolute PERFECT time to grab a number one ranking in Yahoo! Or at least several top 10 rankings. From what I’ve seen most markets are ripe for the picking.
That’s because few of the top guns riding high in Google have bolted up a similar top listings in Yahoo.
Don’t believe it?
Well, let me prove it to you.
To research this I used a bully tool called Thumbshots Ranking. http://ranking.thumbshots.com/
Along with the whiz bang graphic it gives you a mini-report. The report shows how many a listings do repeat appearances in the top 100 of several Google and Yahoo. They’re called "overlapping links". A confusing select of terms but it still means the number of listings in the top 100 in Google that are as well in the top 100 in Yahoo too.
All you do is just stick in any keyword (phrase) and let it rip.
The amount are nothing short of shocking. Best, or is it worst case, only just about a third of top 100 listings in Google ready-made the top 100 in Yahoo.
Take a look for yourself. Here’s several keyword phrases I checked followed by the number of overlapping listings.
bed and breakfast - 37
wedding invitations - 35
email code - 33
logo design - 32
pet supplies - 28
satellite tv - 22
business cards - 21
dating services - 19
ceramic knives - 17
furniture purchasing
- 15
medical transcription services - 14
wine racks - 14
business possibility - 11
web designer - 6
digital phones - 4
I tried to move up with competitive and not so competitive terms.
Admittedly this "study" of 15 keywords is far from comprehensive.
And mayhap it’s just me, but it sure looks like there’s an possibility for prime listings in Yahoo.
Again I don’t cognize if this is because most webmasters are so focused on Google or what. But I think that’s part of it.
The different issue may be that Yahoo ranks pages much based on content. Patch Google weighs links and link text much heavily.
Regardless, just because you can’t crack the top 20 in Google all is not lost. Roll up your sleeves and focus several attention on ranking well in Yahoo. What have you got to lose?
IMPORTANT: I’m NOT language a top 10 ranking in Yahoo
is worth the same figure of traffic as a top 10 ranking in
Google. But I AM language if you don’t have a top 10 Google
ranking and prospects of landing one anytime before long look
bleak, mayhap Yahoo is a promising alternative. Because
some search engine traffic is better than none, right?
In any case, get in on this now before it’s too late. And get the jump on your competitors sitting pretty in Google. Because like Zig Ziglar says the "Opportunity of a lifespan is only nice for the lifespan of the opportunity."
