Done that for several companies, globally, and rule of thumb would be never to leave out these easy things.

Apart from meeting all SE requirements it is a question of how much effort you can put into this to update. Many companies have huge systems running the sites, you cannot change the parameters so easily.

And which SE you target depends quite some on product / brand / target group.

I head up an SEO department, and our clients tend to do much better in Yahoo! over Google. We’re heavy on SEO content for our clients, so I do feel it is closely linked to that. I definitely have a lot of love for Yahoo!

I head up an SEO department, and our clients overwhelmingly do better in Yahoo! over Google. We’re heavy on SEO content for our clients, so it’s probably closely linked to that, but I definitely have a lot of love for Yahoo.

I have noticed for sometime that Yahoo always returns the most relevant results for my searches. Google is iffy and MSN acts like it’s on drugs.

Excepts for Google maps, I avoid Google like the plague.

It is normal for people to want to rank in google but MSN traffic is much more likely to buy anything than visitors coming from google. The same goes with yahoo.

Google can highly increase unique visitors and clicks but a smaller percentage of those clicks will convert compared to live.com and yahoo.

It’s the matter of traffic that brings revenue to the site, So better target Top search engine rather targeting only one

It doesn’t matter from which search engine has gives me the most traffic. In my opinion, The more search engine you submit into, the more your site will get indexed and visited by many people

Hi Steve
Nice information but want to know how to make difference in optimization process for Yahoo and MSN with Google ? I think from one page we can not make target for Google and Yahoo at a time, we have to choose either one what do you think ?

Loren:
MSN is next… i have 3 new clients who aren’t doing to well in MSN.. so i am running experiments on 4 non-profits i do “volunteering” for.. and then i will plug those into the new clients after i do the initial baseline metrics, keyword and competitor studies.
