Optimizing for Yahoo

[jconnel]

I would just like to know exactly what is the basis of yahoo for their rankings...Is it the keywords or the backlinks or number of hits for the page?? Please let me know the main factors so that I can be careful when I am creating my new site next month.

Thanks!

Yahoo is the most popular search engine.The new Yahoo search engine gives more importance to keyword density. A Website with high keyword density may fare well in Yahoo. Yahoo considers inbound links highly important. Inbound links are the links from other sites pointing to your site. Having considerable links, with appropriate link texts, from quality sites increases your site's ranking in Yahoo.
