An Insider`s Secret To Seriously High Rankings With Yahoo - Wait, There's More!
(Page 3 of 6 )
But don't go running off to do it just yet!
While what I just described will do two things -- get Yahoo's spider to index your site, and, because it found you via RSS give you a slightly higher ranking than you would have gotten otherwise -- it won't get you the highest ranking you could get with just a couple more additions.
You see, Yahoo (and Google as well) likes to see more than just a lot of keyword rich content. It wants to see content that is constantly being added to and updated. It's one of the reasons that blogs rank so high. Most of them are updated with at least some small bit of new content two or even three times a day.
Now I don't know about you, but the thought of being chained that tightly to my website does not exactly give me the warm and fuzzies. I would much rather have a bunch of other people all updating my site ... maybe 15 or 20 times every day (or even several hundred if you like) ... for free. Yahoo will then be constantly respidering your site (if you set up your MyYahoo page correctly), and because there is so much new content being added, your site will skyrocket in the rankings.
Now, lets talk about my previous articles for a minute, and we'll tie this all together. In "Rockin' RSS With PHP On Your HTML," I discussed how to set up an RSS feed for your site. But what you need to do to make this extra powerful is to pull other people's feeds into your site. You can do that using MagpieRSS.
By utilizing MagpieRSS (http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/), which is a free PHP module that you can use to add RSS feeds to your site, you can very easily have a site that is constantly being updated. Simply add in three or four (or even more) RSS feeds into that column, and bingo. You've got a site with tons of new stuff going into it all the time with no further work on your part required.
In fact, you could almost do that alone and get wickedly high rankings with Yahoo.
But you see, if you have the skill to go just one more step. If you do just one more thing, you can really kick it over the top.
