You currently have three pages in the Yahoo index.

Yahoo also has a bit of a problem known as the Yahoo slurp black hole. I wrote an atricle about it some time ago. Read it here, Yahoo Slurp black hole

In all honesty having top rankings on Yahoo search is not that great, our site has several front page listings (after the overture results) and receives little from them and they are high traffic level search phrases. The main problem is for a lot of market sectors there is a high amount of overture listings that will appear before the natural results (and the lower traffic levels).

I would focus on Google which currently has a much larger share of traffic than any other engine. By conducting SEO for Google if done effectively (especially on-page SEO) you should gain higher rankings anyway.

Thanks very much for the comments James. I totally agree with your opinion on yahoo. With the overture ads taking precidence over genuine search results and the fact that they charge to be 'considered' for inclusion into the directory I think they're taking the.. ahem..

I'm interested in building my google ranking, however it seems almost impossible to get anywhere near the top for the keywords I'm looking for. I've thought about starting a directory on my site and have even registered another domain to start a separate directory which I can hopefully advertise my wares on.. Anybody have any suggestions for a free link exchange app in PHP? I'd really appreciate it.
