How to increase your blogs traffic from Yahoo

Most of you having a site have probably noticed that we get most of our traffic from Google and less from Yahoo. My friend told me about a technique yesterday on how to get Yahoo! to index our blogs better.

I tried it and have noticed an increase in traffic from Yahoo! This technique might be an old one and you might be probably knowing about it. It’s vey simple. Here goes…

Now click ‘Add Content’ (above Message Center)

then Click ‘Add RSS by URL’

and enter your RSS URL. If you use ,enter it’s url. For example,

Click ‘Add’, Now you can see your recent posts listed.

Now, Click ‘Add’ again (at the top)

That’s it!

You should now be able to see your feed in a block on the frontpage of your My Yahoo account.

Yahoo will add them to its own tracking system which must be linked to their indexing system.

Wait for a few days and check for any increase of traffic from Yahoo! and do let me know about it.

Thanks for the tip John. Definitely going ahead.

Here’s another tip for the people looking for a better Google PR. Sign up for Gpages, add lots of pages and make sure that you link to your site from all of them. Google indexes these pages after 2 hours.

But one small thing: Let the page be natural and not look like some spam!
