8 Tips To Get More Traffic From Yahoo!
...... categories.
Naturally the one with a higher price is the most trafficked
one!
3) Yahoo! considers keywords in the directory structure
while ranking.
For example, if someone is searching for "Business
Opportunities Directories", a web site listed in category -
B2B/Business_Opportunities/Directories will be given more
relevance than a web site listed in category -
B2B/Business_Opportunities
4) Yahoo! DOES NOT spider websites to determine ranking. It
ranks web sites based on keywords in domain name, title and
description. So having META tags does not make any
difference to your listing.
5) DO NOT try to stuff as much keywords as possible in to
the description. Yahoo! editors are notorious for cutting
down the description if they sense even slightest hype. Try
to avoid words such as - no.1, proven, turnkey, exciting
etc.
Also, make sure that the heading of your home page is same
as the description you provided for your site. There should
be no confusion in the mind of the editor reviewing your
site.
6) Make sure your domain name and business name is the same
since Yahoo! is known to use the business name as the title
for your listing.
7) Make sure your website is "Content Rich". This is
very critical for two reasons. One - to get your site
accepted by Yahoo! and Second - to maintain and get a higher
listing.
Yahoo! determines the popularity of a website by the amount
of time a visitor spends on your website. If a large no. of
them hit the "back button" of their browser as soon as they
hit your web site, you can kiss goodbye to your dreams of a
possible higher listing.
Once you get a lower listing, it can get very difficult to
make up as visitors will not be able to find your site
easily.
-----SIDEBAR-----
Once a site gets accepted into the directory, Yahoo! ranks
it based on the keyword popularity in domain name, title and
description. But as time progresses, it determines the
ranking based on the popularity of the website itself.
We ignored this and our listing came down drastically within
few days of getting accepted!
-----SIDEBAR-----
8) Before submitting your website, thoroughly research
websites that rank higher for keywords you are targeting
(Especially the "Most Popular" sites in the directory
section). This will give you a rough idea of what to and
what not to include in your website.
