Yahoo’s search engine market share as of 2010 is second only to Google’s; it is 6.24 percent globally. Therefore, if you want to increase your site’s organic search engine traffic, you might as well consider optimizing for Yahoo. This article will examine the Yahoo search engine’s ranking behavior by comparing it to Google’s, using actual websites, rankings, keywords and common search engine ranking factors (onsite and links).
Are you skeptical about Yahoo’s share of the market? Here’s a report on search engine market share to set your mind at ease.
Below is the onsite analysis summary between these two websites:
Based on the results, there aren’t any big differences between the two. The canonical issue on buyviagra.ms is not so substantial as to cause such massive differences in ranking (Google can handle the presence of both non-www and www versions).
However, examining the domain profile further nets us an outstanding discovery:
Actually looking at the total pages indexed by Google, there were no indexed pages for www.buyviagra.ms, which means that this domain has actually been BANNED in Google.
Also, the domain age differences are fairly comparable, and the buyviagra.ms server is geographically located in the United States.
What could have caused buyviagra.ms to be banned in Google is another question, which only deepens the mystery of why it is ranking at the first position1 in Yahoo US for “buy viagra.”
The causes will be examined and analyzed later.
