Should You Handle Your Own SEO?
If you’re trying to save a bit of money, and you’re considering handling your own SEO for your website, there are a few points you should keep in mind before getting rid of that expensive SEO company. The first and most important thing you’ll need to consider is the time you have available to dedicate to the task. SEO doesn’t take place over night, and you’ll need to devote some serious hours to it in order for your site to rank higher in popular search engines. The second thing you’ll need to consider is your HTML knowledge. You’ll need to feel comfortable adding and editing meta tags in HTML documents, as well as bold text, setting up links, change text formatting, renaming images, and moving javascript into a .js file. If any of these things I’ve mentioned seem like they’re out of your league, it’s probably wise to let someone else handle your SEO.
Optimize Your Website For Yahoo! Search
When building your site up with search engine optimization in mind, it’s easy to forget all the other sites that aren’t Google. Understandably so, as much of your search engine oriented traffic will be from the big G anyways. But for the amount of time it takes to put a little more focus into a few things, or even just add a few additional touches, you can make your site that much more appealing to the Yahoo! bot that will be crawling through your pages.

You’ll hear many different answers regarding this question, and they all do hold some weight, but the truth of the matter is that we’ve already seen the results of this and can attest that quantity is the least important part of content when it comes to SEO.
Is Yahoo! Site Directory Worth It?
You’re building up a reputable site and you’re looking for new places to gain authoritative links from when you come across the Yahoo! Site Directory. Sounds perfect. Yahoo! host it so clearly it’s got to have some pull, and it definitely does. But what bites you is the cost. $299 to SUBMIT a site to their directory. That doesn’t mean that they’ll actually accept your site. If your site is of adult content, then double that price. Plus, it’s an annually reoccurring price to boot!
YPN’s targeting issues
If you haven’t heard of Yahoo’s alternative to Adsense, then you need to check out Yahoo’s publisher network. It has the same principle as Adsense in how it allows a webmaster to monetize a site with ads. It can be hard to get into the YPN network because they have strict rules and want to make sure that everyone follows them, kind of like Google’s program. I believe that YPN is also still in beta, so it will pick and choose who can be included. Here comes the downfall of YPN!
