Update to ' original question (thread from 2012): several early replies contain partial or outdated advice. Modern visible signals for Yahoo-like results come from technical accessibility, clear on-page relevance, user experience, and trustworthy links. The practical difference versus Google is mainly in which reporting and webmaster tools are used and how certain signals are weighted — not a completely separate set of tactics.

Practical checklist — concise, actionable items that matter today:

  1. Bing Webmaster Tools — verification, XML sitemap submission, crawl-error checks and the Search Performance report are the primary control panel for Yahoo/Bing visibility.
  2. Crawlability and rendering — robots.txt, server response codes, canonical tags and server-side or pre-rendered HTML for heavy JavaScript sites determine what the engine actually indexes.
  3. On‑page clarity — unique, descriptive title tags and meta descriptions help CTR; the meta keywords field is obsolete and keyword stuffing is harmful.
  4. Technical basics — HTTPS, fast page load (mobile-first), correct status codes and clean URL structure reduce indexing problems and improve rankings.
  5. Structured data — Schema markup increases chances of rich features in results that improve click-throughs.
  6. Links and reputation — focus on relevant, authoritative links; monitor and remediate unnatural-link patterns via webmaster tools and analytics.
  7. Local presence — consistent NAP and registration in business/local panels matters for local queries.

Troubleshooting notes: when Google results diverge from Yahoo/Bing, export top queries/pages from both consoles and compare impressions, CTR and landing-page behavior; inspect server logs to confirm bot access; use the fetch-as-bot tool to see rendered HTML. Advice in earlier posts that relied on meta keywords, permissive keyword stuffing, or paid directory shortcuts is low value today. The warning from about frames remains practical — content must be directly reachable by crawlers.

If you want to promote your website in Yahoo, than the main thing is you will add your website in yahoo directory ( Yahoo is paid directory). If you unable to paid then see your competitor in yahoo for top ranking & see what they are doing, in which website they promote their website, than you must have do same things.

Both Google and Yahoo follows different SEO techniques. Don't use frames as Yahoo spiders cannot follow frameset links. The major areas on Yahoo for high ranking are:-
-Keyword Dendity
-Site Structure
-Backlinks
-Aging
