Make money ranking sites in Yahoo

Yahoo users tend to have more money to spend than Google users. I would think that with the proper product or service selection, focusing on Yahoo could be gold.

Nice point! Now comes the question how to find such yahoo users. I already write about contacting business owners, that buys advertising from yahoo, but there must have (I know there have) easier and faster way to find them. Direct contact with random business owners will works.

I read BHW threads and sometime post from over 3 (~4) years and never see the yahoo money making part discussed. Don't tell me that google is #1 again, because this really looks like bitch reply to my not google related thread, because you telling me new things that 3 years old kid knows - really.

As you can see my method is not finished, because can't send a proof and maybe it is just an idea yet, but I promise to update the thread whit all your good ideas and twists. Also will invest $10-$100 in journey!

like the autoblog part - they do not works with google longer, but if 1 such blog brings $2-$10/mont from yahoo traffic (which secure over double/x10 investments/year), than why not create unlimited such blogs.

I need you BHW!
 
OP it's seems good for Seo learners and Beginners to start from ;)

Why not just target only Yahoo target Bing,Ask and other engines too ;)

I will do research for ask and will update.
It's not so beginners friendly, because need little investments. It's very good for web design and for SEO companies to earn extra from their clients by offering second cheap site for yahoo and bing only with guarantee top 10 listings.
 
I can't find how to edit/update the main thread so will update it here.
It works like a charm for local niches - don't tell me that yahoo crawl the links slow, because 2 days after I add a single backlink in over-optimized for the keyword article using the EMD as anchor the site is ranked #1 in yahoo. In fact this keyword have 20 monthly searches according bing's keyword tool. So UPDATE:
It's time to consider other point. For many of us is very hard to sell sites (at least for me), so let make the things simple and newbies friendly. @integrity101 ask me about keyword research and this is correct question that I skip too fast. If we have good keyword ideas, than will earn money easier. I mean if we have a keyword with let say 1000 monthly searches in bing and yahoo, it will bring a lot money with the correct monetization. So here is the way to find such keyword.
Bing's tool:
https://www.bing[.]com/webmaster/diagnostics/keyword/research
It needs microsoft account to access.
Which is the good keyword? The answer is simple - keyword, that have available EMD.
Let me show you an example - will do it again for local niche, but you can use any query. Will do a research for the word "restaurant London":
1. Check the strict box:

2. Export the results (do not sort or you will lost the relevancy). Now you have the idea for the exact monthly searches in yahoo and bing. What we search is results where the number of "Appeared in Search" is near to the result of "Strict impressions" - this is optional, but in my option this means easy competition.
Some of the keywords, that pass:

I like:
- best restaurants in london
- vegetarian restaurants london
- opentable london
Of cource:
[TABLE="width: 298"]
[TR]
[TD]italian restaurants london[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]restaurants london bridge[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]japanese restaurants london[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]top restaurants london[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Will bring targeted leads to business owners and they will want to pay you about $2-10/lead, but will skip them, becasue have better.
Now we have keyword ideas. It's time to check for available EMD. Have a free softwares here to check fast, but this is other free option: Go to your favorite domain name register. In my case this is godaddy. Copy the keywords, that you like the must. Click on bulk domain search.

Now you can see which EMD is available. I will bet on .com.

Now it's time to buy and optimimize the domain for yahoo. Check the main thread and will see for what I talk about. Create few contextual backlinks in over-optimized articles using the domain as anchor and smile in the next short period.

Let say we have vegetarian restaurants london - vegetarianrestaurantslondon.com . Type yahoo/bing/google the phrase and you will see tons of advertisers that are ready to spend few $100s for site ranked anywhere.

As you can see this is not bullshit thread. It is not created becasue I hate google! I will not buy the domain I found while writting!
Note: Bing's tool is not very accurate, but just like adwords eyword planner.

I know the smart guys, that learn something new from my thread will be quite, but please, wake up and suggest some twist or fix my errors!
Thanks!
 
I'm going to try this. Because, why not? :) Thanks for the great share, there's a lot of money to be made from this method.
 
Nice method but with few sites I'm first on Yahoo and Bing (I need only a lot of crappy backlinks to get it) and the traffic is really small.
I honestly never buy a site that is in the first position on Yahoo, seems little value.

But I think that anyone can buy at auction, the fact is that there is a great deal as it may seem...
 
Yes, the traffic is small, but there have a niches, that is cost! In the example from above the keyword have 390 searches in google and 110 in yahoo. Seems like for local niches the traffic is x3 smaller, while for other normal keywords is up to x20 smaller and the competition is still high and the EMDs are not available. If ranked local site in google cost over $500, why not local site in yahoo to be sold for over $160. In fact site for yahoo will be ranked with single page, while for google needs tons of pages and regular updates + social accounts and signals. For yahoo the work is X10 less. In my option local site, that brings only 1 lead/month is cost $100+.
 
Yahoo users tend to have more money to spend than Google users. I would think that with the proper product or service selection, focusing on Yahoo could be gold.

just wondering where you found this info... not saying your wrong. just wondering.

Interesting point, where are the statistics? Such a statement on a marketing forum should be justified when it is already cited!
 
Thanks to OP for sharing this.
It is indeed much easier to rank on yahoo and bing. But they are also getting more strict now.
 
Can you tell us what service you have used ?

P.S. Nice twist, thanks!
It was this service here http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...pr2-pr6-100-manual-all-packages-only-5-a.html I can't say that you'll get the same results as me but I was really impressed by the work carried out.
And thanks for the kind words. It was really me remembering this post here http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...d-10k-month-online-offline-hybrid-method.html

I've got a list of 8 different businesses (some of which have different specialities) that I can use this method on. Thanks to the OP for bringing this to light about Yahoo.
