Yahoo! SEO Check List

In 2006 I created a document that reviewed the major elements of the different search engine algorithms. In this post I republish the document that was created reviewing 9 points of Yahoo’s Algorithm. While in 2006 these were valid, some things such as the public access to WebRank has changed. This should be only be used for referencing what Yahoo! was like in 2006.

I will also publish the Google and then MSN now bing algorithms information on separate posts, which are linked to here: Google’s Algorithm & bing’s Algorithm

9 Main Points to Yahoo’s Algorithm:

Title of Page

META Description

Domain Name

WebRank of Website

WebRank of Links to the Page

Text in the Links to the Page

Number of Links to the Page
