Hi All,

Can anyone suggest me what is the difference between google and yahoo algorithm?

Yep;

One was written by the Google engineers the other was written by the Yahoo engineers.

One concentrates on the on page factors and the other on the off page factors.

One is regularly changed with updates that throw some webmasters out of first page and into a state of constant complaining about how it's broken and how it's going to lose market share and how crappy it is as an engine and the other...

wait...no...that's not it...

One uses both on-the-page and off-the-page factors, and the other...

no wait, that's not it either...

One is a closely guarded secret and the other...

dammit, that's not it either!

In other words, you're not going to get a straight answer to this question, mostly because SEO has become a complementary element of web design and really isn't a standalone element anymore.

If you don't understand what that means, look at how your sites are built. Are they built for the end user or are they built for the search engines? Once you understand which of the two you're supposed to choose (and I'll leave it up to you to use your own intelligence to figure out the right answer), the SEO will come both in the short and more importantly the long run.

I guess this author of this thread could have figured that one out.

Heyyyyyyy!!!
This is not an appropriate answer, everybody knows that one's have google's Engineer and the other one has yahoo's.

But the topic was what's the differ between in these two SE..........

and is it not a fact that one of those difference is who employed the people who write it ????
So my reply is a perfectly appropriate answer despite the fact that it was mainly facetious ( Dictionary.com/Word of the Day Archive/facetious )

The simple fact is that no one knows the differences beyond what can be guessed at from examining the relative SERPs from each SE for an identical query and subsequent close examination of the top (at least) 50 pages returned.
Which will in reality will tell you next to nothing of any use.

All I can say in my humble opinion, is that it seems a lot easier to get a good ranking on yahoo and many other search engines (besides google) based solely on a well structured and optimised site. There seems to be a lot more to it with Google, and it doesn't seem to solely focus on the site itself as people have said above.
