facebook status - How Yahoo gets the main "Web Matches"

Subject directories are not as common as they once were, but they are still important tools - and you will want to be able to recognize it when you come upon one.
 Subject directories tell you what is available and where to find it. Also called subject trees or subject indexes and sometimes browse-ableindices, they provide a hierarchical view of subject categories. A subject directory will organize Web sites into subjects according to their content. Browsing a subject directory is often the best way to grasp the breadth and depth of coverage available for a topic.

A subject directory will have a hierarchy of subject categories starting with 10 to 20 subjects at the top level. Within each main subject category, there will be several sub-categories. The business section, for example, might have sub-categories for companies, employment, marketing, management, and other business-related topics. Recreation would have a Travel as a sub-category, and within Travel, names of destinations with hotels, places, events.
Business
  • Companies
  • Employment
  • Marketing
  • Management
  • Sales
 People, often with library training and subject knowledge, review the site to determine what it is "about", and classify it into one or more subject areas. Today, most sites are submitted for consideration by webmasters responsible for the site. New categories are fitted into the overall tree structure as necessary.

How to Best Use a Subject Directory

There are two ways to use subject directories: you may browse or search.
  1. Browse: follow the hierarchy of categories deeper and deeper, until you find the match to your question. Browsing often turns up serendipitous finds.
  2. Search: look for the key words in the name of the category and/or the name of the site.
Most subject directories have a search facility. By entering one or two search terms you can quickly locate the subject headings and site names matching those words. This will save you the time of working down all the branches of a subject tree. It may also suggest other terms that you might use to narrow your search.
In this example at the Yahoo Directory, a search for Harry Potter turns up categories that are only about Harry Potter (Books, Movies, more ...).
Yahoo search for Harry Potter (Mar 2005)
We get a sense of the kinds of sites there are about this fictional wizard and can narrow our search. Note also that Yahoo might insert Sponsor Results - these are advertisements for Potter-related products.
Yahoo uses Category: to mark Web matches from the Yahoo Directory and to direct you to a subject category to find more.

facebook status - How search engines read a webpage

 How search engines read a webpage
Search engines help connect Internet users with the information they’re seeking. Here’s how search engines work:
Search engines analyze the words on webpages, especially words that are repeated or otherwise called out: in boldface, in a headline, in a link, and so on. The engine records those important words and phrases—the page’s keywords—on its servers.
When you type the words you’re looking for into a search box, the engine tries to match your words with the words from webpages it has analyzed, and it then delivers a list of matches. The engine organizes that list from best to worst, ranking the results according to a variety of criteria (such as how many other sites find a page valuable and link to it).
People usually click the links on the first page of results, so sites at the top of the list are more likely to get visitors. And more visitors can mean more page views, more leads, more sales, more ad revenue, and other business benefits.
Search engine optimization: a search for 'yahoo finance'
A search result showing the top two sites returned when we searched on “yahoo finance”
A number of SEO (search engine optimization) techniques exist to give sites an advantage in this ranking, and many of these apply to Web design. But as a content creator, your best SEO techniques are (1) to write information-rich copy that people will want to read and link to and (2) to figure out which words people are likely to use in searches, and then embed those keywords throughout your copy.
SEO copywriting is about using the exact terms that people are searching on so that it’s completely obvious what your page or article is about.

SEO copywriting is not about trying to trick search engines by stuffing content with unrelated keywords or with so many keywords that the copy sounds silly. Good SEO copywriting makes your page more readable for both search engines and humans. It helps your website attract visitors, but it also helps your visitors find substantial, relevant content.

Best practices in brief

SEO is competitive: There’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to get your site on a first page of search results. But as a content creator, you can help bump up your site’s ranking just by optimizing the text and links.
Here are the basic principles of good SEO for writers and editors:
  • Offer original content with genuine value and relevance to your readers.
  • Strategically seed your copy with keywords that describe your content and that correspond with the phrases people are using to perform their searches.
  • Embed keywords where they matter most: in the title, headings, links, metadata (part of your page’s source code), and image and video tags.
  • Make every page of your site unique: In addition to original content, each page should have its own topic, title, and page-specific keywords (though you can use the highest-volume keywords throughout your site—see “Keyword Research Tools” for assistance in finding the best keywords).
  • Deliver on the promise of your keywords: Don’t lure people to your site with words that don’t accurately represent your content.
  • Link to other relevant sites, and encourage those sites to link to yours.
  • Optimize your site for people first—through clear, concise writing—and for search engines second. Implement SEO without turning your text into nonsense.

How search engines read a webpage

Even though people and search engines scan webpages differently, there are some similarities:
  • Page title. Both people and search engines need to know at a glance what a page is about. The page title, sometimes called the <title> tag, is inserted in the code of a webpage. You’ll see it in the top bar of a Web browser, as in the following example.
Example
The top news headlines on current events from Yahoo! NewsThe <title> tag for this page is “The top news headlines on current events from Yahoo! News.”
See “Coding Basics” for examples of other HTML tags, both in page code and as they will appear in a browser.
  • Headlines, emphasized words, and lists. Both people and search engines know that anything called out in headlines or subheadings, in boldface or italics, or in bulleted lists is likely to be important. Make sure headings, links, and lists in your Web copy are called out with HTML tags.
  • Introduction and conclusion. Readers will scan your opening paragraph or your summary for quick information. And search engines, to understand what the subject of a page is, look for keywords throughout that page, including at the top (the introduction) and the bottom (the conclusion). But don’t just shove keywords into the top or the bottom of your page—distribute them evenly throughout.
  • Related links. Humans appreciate options for more information. Search engines, too, like to see that you’ve linked to other websites and that other websites have linked to yours.
Search engines and people both like:
  • Verbosity. In the search engine world, verbosity means substantial, relevant, original content. Do fill your page with words, but write succinctly: Make sure that every word you write is relevant to your audience and to the topic you’re addressing.
  • Good writing. To a search engine, good writing means using variations of your keywords, including those with different endings. For example, if you are targeting the phrase job interview, use the singular, plural, -ing, and -ed forms, such as job interviews and job interviewing.
Search engines and people both dislike:
  • Bad writing. Search engines are more likely to penalize your website when you stuff your copy with unrelated keywords, strand a list of keywords at the bottom of your page, and rely too much on headlines and links. Your entire page should be relevant: Like a muffin with the right amount of blueberries, it should have juicy keywords distributed evenly throughout, but not so many that they overwhelm the whole.
  • Broken links. Search engines want to provide a great experience for their customers by directing them to a useful and informative website that works properly. Broken links tell people and search engines that a site is poorly maintained and will give people a bad experience.

facebook status - How Ask Works

Ask Jeeves initially gained fame in 1998 and 1999 as being the "natural language" search engine that let you search by asking questions and responded with what seemed to be the right answer to everything.
In reality, technology wasn't what made Ask Jeeves perform so well. Behind the scenes, the company at one point had about 100 editors who monitored search logs. They then went out onto the web and located what seemed to be the best sites to match the most popular queries.
In 1999, Ask acquired Direct Hit, which had developed the world's first "click popularity" search technology. Then, in 2001, Ask acquired Teoma's unique index and search relevancy technology. Teoma was based upon the clustering concept of subject-specific popularity.
Today, Ask depends on crawler-based technology to provide results to its users. These results come from the Teoma algorithm, now known as ExpertRank.
Getting Listed: There is not a free way to directly add your site to the index at Ask.com at the moment. Paid listings come from Ask Sponsored Listings.

facebook status - How Yahoo Search Engine Works

Launched in 1994, Yahoo is the web's oldest "directory," a place where human editors organize web sites into categories. However, in October 2002, Yahoo made a giant shift to crawler-based listings for its main results. These came from Google until February 2004. Now, Yahoo uses its own search technology. Learn more in this recent review from our SearchDay newsletter, which also provides some updated submission details.
In addition to excellent search results, you can use tabs above the search box on the Yahoo home page to seek images, Yellow Page listings or use Yahoo's excellent shopping search engine. Or visit the Yahoo Search home page, where even more specialized search options are offered.
The Yahoo Directory still survives. You'll notice "category" links below some of the sites lists in response to a keyword search. When offered, these will take you to a list of web sites that have been reviewed and approved by a human editor.
It's also possible to do a pure search of just the human-compiled Yahoo Directory, which is how the old or "classic" Yahoo used to work. To do this, search from the Yahoo Directory home page, as opposed to the regular Yahoo.com home page. Then you'll get both directory category links ("Related Directory Categories") and "Directory Results," which are the top web site matches drawn from all categories of the Yahoo Directory.
Sites pay a fee to be included in the Yahoo Directory's commercial listings, though they must meet editor approval before being accepted. Non-commercial content is accepted for free. Yahoo's content acquisition program also offers paid inclusion, where sites can also pay to be included in Yahoo's crawler-based results. This doesn't guarantee ranking, Yahoo promises. The CAP program also bring in content from non-profit organizations for free.
Like Google, Yahoo sells paid placement advertising links that appear on its own site and which are distributed to others. Yahoo purchased Overture in October 2003.
Overture was formerly called GoTo until late 2001. More about it can be found on the Paid Listings Search Engines page. Overture purchased AllTheWeb in March 2003 and acquired AltaVista  in April 2003. Now Yahoo owns these, gained as from its purchase of Overture.
Technology AltaVista and AllTheWeb was combined with that of Inktomi, a crawler-based search engine that grew out UC Berkeley and then launched as its own company in 1996, to make the current Yahoo crawler. Yahoo purchased Inktomi in March 2003.

facebook status - How Top 20 Search Engines Works

In the search engine list below, Search Engine Watch provides a guide to the major search engines of the web. Why are these considered to be "major" search engines? Because they are either well-known or well-used.
For webmasters, the major search engines are the most important places to be listed, because they can potentially generate so much traffic.
For searchers, well-known, commercially-backed search engines generally mean more dependable results. These search engines are more likely to be well-maintained and upgraded when necessary, to keep pace with the growing web.
On this page, you will see reference to "crawlers" and "crawler-based results" versus "directories" and "human-powered results." These describe the two major ways that search engines get editorial listings. See the How Search Engines Work page to understand more about the difference between crawlers and directories.
If you are interested in being listed in these search engines, see Search Engine Watch's Search Engine Submission Tips section for free, step-by-step help about the essentials to submitting to search engines and improving your chances of ranking well. Relevant links to specific tips are integrated into this page, as well.
Also consider becoming a Search Engine Watch member, to gain access to detailed information about how the various major search engines work. Finally, for an at-a-glance view of how the major search engines get their results, see the Search Engine Results Chart.

Top Choices

The search engines below are all excellent choices to start with when searching for information.
Voted four times Most Outstanding Search Engine by Search Engine Watch readers, Google has a well-deserved reputation as the top choice for those searching the web. The crawler-based service provides both comprehensive coverage of the web along with great relevancy. It's highly recommended as a first stop in your hunt for whatever you are looking for.
Google provides the option to find more than web pages, however. Using on the top of the search box on the Google home page, you can easily seek out images from across the web, discussions that are taking place on Usenet newsgroups, locate news information or perform product searching. Using the More link provides access to human-compiled information from the Open Directory , catalog searching and other services.
Google is also known for the wide range of features it offers, such as cached links that let you "resurrect" dead pages or see older versions of recently changed ones. It offers excellent spell checking, easy access to dictionary definitions, integration of stock quotes, street maps, telephone numbers and more. See Google's help page for an entire rundown on some of these features. The Google Toolbar has also won a popular following for the easy access it provides to Google and its features directly from the Internet Explorer browser.
In addition to Google's unpaid editorial results, the company also operates its own advertising programs. The cost-per-click AdWords program places ads on Google as well as some of Google's partners. Similarly, Google is also a provider of unpaid editorial results to some other search engines. For a list of major partnerships, see the Search Providers Chart.
Google was originally a Stanford University project by students Larry Page and Sergey Brin called BackRub. By 1998, the name had been changed to Google, and the project jumped off campus and became the private company Google. It remains privately held today.

Strongly Consider

The search engines below are other good choices to consider when searching the web.

AllTheWeb.com
Powered by Yahoo, you may find AllTheWeb a lighter, more customizable and pleasant "pure search" experience than you get at Yahoo itself. The focus is on web search, but news, picture, video, MP3 and FTP search are also offered.
AllTheWeb.com was previously owned by a company called FAST and used as a showcase for that company's web search technology. That's why you sometimes may sometimes hear AllTheWeb.com also referred to as FAST or FAST Search. However, the search engine was purchased by search provider Overture in late April 2003, then later become Yahoo's property when Yahoo bought Overture. It no longer has a connection with FAST.

AOL Search

AOL Search provides users with editorial listings that come Google's crawler-based index. Indeed, the same search on Google and AOL Search will come up with very similar matches. So, why would you use AOL Search? Primarily because you are an AOL user. The "internal" version of AOL Search provides links to content only available within the AOL online service. In this way, you can search AOL and the entire web at the same time. The "external" version lacks these links. Why wouldn't you use AOL Search? If you like Google, many of Google's features such as "cached" pages are not offered by AOL Search.
Getting Listed: AOL essentially duplicates the editorial and ad listings that are shown on Google, so you need to be listed with Google in one of these ways, as described above.
Search Engine Watch members have access to the How AOL Search Works page, which provides in-depth coverage of how AOL Search operates and why there may be subtle differences between it and Google.

HotBot provides easy access to the web's three major crawler-based search engines: Yahoo, Google and Teoma. Unlike a meta search engine, it cannot blend the results from all of these crawlers together. Nevertheless, it's a fast, easy way to get different web search "opinions" in one place.
HotBot's "choose a search engine" interface was introduced in December 2002. However, HotBot has a long history as a search brand before this date.
HotBot debuted in May 1996, it gained a strong following among serious searchers for the quality and comprehensiveness of its crawler-based results, which were provided by Inktomi, at the time. It also caught the attention of experienced web users and techies, especially for the unusual colors and interface it continues to sport today.
HotBot gained more notoriety when it switched over to using Direct Hit's "clickthrough" results for its main listings in 1999. Direct Hit was then one of the "hot" search engines that had recently appeared. Unfortunately, the quality of Direct Hit's results couldn't match those of another "hot" player that had debuted at the same time, Google. HotBot's popularity began to drop.
Even worse, HotBot also suffered by being owned by Lycos (now Terra Lycos). Lycos had acquired HotBot when it purchased Wired Digital in October 1998. Lycos failed to make search a priority on its flagship Lycos site as well as HotBot through much of 1999 and 2000, as it focused instead on adding "portal" features. The company refocused on search in late 2001, making significant improvements to the Lycos site and, as noted, reworked the HotBot site at the end of 2002.
Getting Listed: For the main editorial listings at HotBot, you need to be listed with the three major crawlers that it can query. Follow the links for these crawlers on this page, where they are mentioned.

Other Choices

The sites below are "major" in the sense that they either still receive significant amounts of traffic or they've earned a reputation in the past that still causes some people to consider them to be important. For various reasons explained below, they are not among our top search choices. However, certainly feel free to try them. They could turn out to be top choices for you.
AltaVista
AltaVista opened in December 1995 and for several years was the "Google" of its day, in terms of providing relevant results and having a loyal group of users that loved the service.
Sadly, an attempt to turn AltaVista into a portal site in 1998 saw the company lose track of the importance of search. Over time, relevancy dropped, as did the freshness of AltaVista's listings and the crawler's coverage of the web.
Today, AltaVista is once again focused on search. Results come from Yahoo, and tabs above the search box let you go beyond web search to find images, MP3/Audio, Video, human category listings and news results. If you want a lighter-feel than Yahoo but to still have Yahoo's results, AltaVista is worth considering.
AltaVista was originally owned by Digital, then taken over by Compaq, when that company purchased Digital in 1998. AltaVista was later spun off into a private company, controlled by CMGI. Overture purchasing the search engine in April 2003, then it later became part of Yahoo when Yahoo bought Overture.

Compared to Google, Yahoo or even Teoma, Gigablast has a tiny index of the web. However, the service is constantly gaining new and interesting features. Give it a whirl, if you want to try something experimental yet dependable. Read more about Gigablast in this recent interview from our SearchDay newsletter.

Live Search
Live Search (formerly Windows Live Search) is the name of Microsoft's web search engine, successor to MSN Search, designed to compete with the industry leaders Google and Yahoo. The search engine offers some innovative features, such as the ability to view additional search results on the same web page (instead of needing to click through to subsequent search result pages) and the ability to adjust the amount of information displayed for each search-result (i.e. just the title, a short summary, or a longer summary). It also allows the user to save searches and see them updated automatically on Live.com.
The service was previously powered by LookSmart results and gained top marks for having its own team of editors that monitored the most popular searches being performed to hand-pick sites believed to be the most relevant. The system worked well.
Getting Listed: You can submit editorial sites here. Read the Microsoft adCenter page about paid listings.
Search Engine Watch members have access to the How MSN Search Works page, which provides in-depth coverage of how MSN integrates listings from its search providers and its own editors.

LookSmart
LookSmart is primarily a human-compiled directory of web sites. It gathers its listings in two ways. Commercial sites pay to be listed in its commercial categories, making the service very much like an electronic "Yellow Pages." However, volunteer editors at the LookSmart-owned Zeal directory also catalog sites into non-commercial categories for free. Though Zeal is a separate web site, its listings are integrated into LookSmart's results.
LookSmart launched independently in October 1996, was backed by Reader's Digest for about a year, and then company executives bought back control of the service.
LookSmart also bought the WiseNut crawler-based search engine in April 2002. WiseNut's are offered through the LookSmart via its Web tab above the search box. Unlike its competitors, the WiseNut crawler has often been out of date, sometimes for months at a time.
Finally, the real gem at LookSmart can be found via its Articles tab. That provides access to content from thousands of periodicals.
Getting Listed: Read the Submitting To LookSmart section of Search Engine Watch's Essentials Of Search Engine Submission guide for more information on being included in its free non-commercial listings. See the LookSmart Paid Listings section for information about cost-per-click commercial listings.
Search Engine Watch members have access to the  LookSmart Works page, which has in-depth coverage of how LookSmart gathers listings.

Lycos
Lycos is one of the oldest search engines on the web, launched in 1994. It ceased crawling the web for its own listings in April 1999 and instead provides access to human-powered results from LookSmart for popular queries and crawler-based results from Yahoo for others.
"Fast Forward" lets you see search results in one side of your screen and the actual pages listed in another. Relevant categories of human-compiled information from the Open Directory appear at the bottom of the search results page.
Lycos is owned by Terra Lycos, a company formed with Lycos and Terra Networks merged in October 2000. Terra Lycos also owns the HotBot search engine described above.
Getting Listed: For the main editorial listings at Lycos, you need to be listed with AllTheWeb.com, which is described above on this page. Paid listings come from Overture, described below, and additional paid listings come from Terra Lycos's own program, as described in this article.
Search Engine Watch members have access to the How Lycos Works page, which provides in-depth coverage of how Lycos integrates listings from its search providers.

Netscape Search
Owned by AOL Time Warner, Netscape Search uses Google for its main listings, just as does AOL's other major search site, AOL Search. So why use Netscape Search rather than Google? Unlike with AOL Search, there's no compelling reason to consider it. The main difference between Netscape Search and Google is that Netscape Search will list some of Netscape's own content at the top of its results. Netscape also has a completely different look and feel than Google. If you like either of these reasons, then try Netscape Search. Otherwise, you're probably better off just searching at Google.
Getting Listed: Netscape essentially duplicates the editorial and ad listings that are shown on Google, so you need to be listed with Google in one of these ways, as described above on this page.

Open Directory
http://dmoz.org/
The Open Directory uses volunteer editors to catalog the web. Formerly known as NewHoo, it was launched in June 1998. It was acquired by AOL Time Warner-owned Netscape in November 1998, and the company pledged that anyone would be able to use information from the directory through an open license arrangement.
While you can search at the Open Directory site itself, this is not recommended. The site has no "backup" results that kick in should there not be a match in the human-compiled database. In addition, the ranking of sites during keyword searching is poor, while alphabetical ordering is used when you choose to "browse" categories by topic.
Instead, to scan the valuable information compiled by the Open Directory, consider using the version offered by Google, the Google Directory. Here, keyword searching uses Google's refined relevancy algorithms and makes use of link analysis to better propel good pages from the human database to the top. In addition, when viewing sites by category, they will be listed in PageRank order, which means the most popular sites based on analyzing links from across the web will be listed first.
Getting Listed: Read the Submitting To The Open Directory section of Search Engine Watch's Essentials Of Search Engine Submission guide for more information.
Search Engine Watch members have access to the How The Open Directory Works page, which provides in-depth coverage of how the Open Directory gathers listings.

facebook status - How AllTheWeb.com Works

Powered by Yahoo, you may find AllTheWeb a lighter, more customizable and pleasant "pure search" experience than you get at Yahoo itself. The focus is on web search, but news, picture, video, MP3 and FTP search are also offered.
AllTheWeb.com was previously owned by a company called FAST and used as a showcase for that company's web search technology. That's why you sometimes may sometimes hear AllTheWeb.com also referred to as FAST or FAST Search. However, the search engine was purchased by search provider Overture in late April 2003, then later become Yahoo's property when Yahoo bought Overture. It no longer has a connection with FAST.

facebook status - How Google Search Engine Works

­Google's search engine is a powerful tool. Without search engines like Google, it would be practically impossible to find the information you need when you browse the Web. Like all search engines, Google uses a special algorithm to generate search results. While Google shares general facts about its algorithm, the specifics are a company secret. This helps Google remain competitive with other search engines on the Web and reduces the chance of someone finding out how to abuse the system.
­Google uses automated programs called spiders or crawlers, just like most search engines. Also like other search engines, Google has a large index of keywords and where those words can be found. What sets Google apart is how it ranks search results, which in turn determines the order Google displays results on its search engine results page (SERP). Google uses a trademarked algorithm called Page Rank, which assigns each Web page a relevancy score.
A Web page's Page Rank depends on a few factors:
  • The frequency and location of keywords within the Web page: If the keyword only appears once within the body of a page, it will receive a low score for that keyword.
  • How long the Web page has existed: People create new Web pages every day, and not all of them stick around for long. Google places more value on pages with an established history.
  • The number of other Web pages that link to the page in question: Google looks at how many Web pages link to a particular site to determine its relevance.

Out of these three factors, the third is the most important. It's easier to understand it with an example. Let's look at a search for the terms "Planet Earth."

Google Search Engine

As more Web pages link to Discovery's Planet Earth page, the Discovery page's rank increases. When Discovery's page ranks higher than other pages, it shows up at the top of the Google search results page.
Because Google looks at links to a Web page as a vote, it's not easy to cheat the system. The best way to make sure your Web page is high up on Google's search results is to provide great content so that people will link back to your page. The more links your page gets, the higher its Page Rank score will be. If you attract the attention of sites with a high Page Rank score, your score will grow faster.

Google initiated an experiment with its search engine in 2008. For the first time, Google is allowing a group of beta testers to change the ranking order of search results. In this experiment, beta testers can promote or demote search results and tailor their search experience so that it's more personally relevant. Google executives say there's no guarantee that the company will ever implement this feature into the search engine globally.­
Google offers many different kinds of services in addition to chat. In the next section, we'll see how some of them work.

facebook status - How Yahoo Search Engine Works

Showing up in Yahoo's Web Matches section is great, because it represents "free" traffic that your web site can receive from Yahoo. However, since the Web Matches are "editorial" results, you have no guarantee of getting a top ranking in them. For those looking for this type of guarantee, they need to consider the Yahoo "Sponsor Matches" option.
Sponsor Matches listings appear under that heading near the top of Yahoo's results page. These are paid placement listings, where in exchange for payment, an advertiser is guaranteed to appear for the keywords they wish to target.
Those in North America who visit Yahoo.com see paid placement results in this area that come from Overture's US web site, Overture.com. To learn more about how to get listed with Overture, see the How Overture Works page.
The first four results for a particular search at Overture.com will show up in Yahoo.com's "Sponsor Matches" area. In other words, let's say you wanted to show up in the top results at Yahoo for the word "shoes."
If you went to Overture and paid enough to be the top listing for "shoes," then you would appear at the top of the Sponsor Matches section at Yahoo for the word "shoes." If you were number two for "shoes" at Overture, you'd be the second site in Sponsor Matches at Yahoo. If you were number three at Overture, then you'd be third in Yahoo's Sponsor Matches. If you were number four at Overture, then you'd be number four in Yahoo's Sponsor Matches.
In addition, the fifth and sixth results at Overture will appear in the "More Sponsor Matches" area at the bottom of the Yahoo search results page. Thus, if you were ranked number five or six at Overture for "shoes," then you'd show up in the More Sponsored Matches area at Yahoo for that word.
In summary, Yahoo carries Overture's top six paid results for any word on the first page of its results. So, if you are in the top six paid results at Overture for a particular term, you'll have prominent placement at Yahoo for that word. This makes getting a top listing at Yahoo -- which is a major source of traffic -- very easy, at least for those with budgets. Simply pay for a top listing at Overture, and you'll have high prominence at Yahoo.
Unusual Situations With Overture Results
Even if you aren't in Overture's top six paid results, you may still show up in Yahoo's Sponsored Matches area. You just won't be in the first page of Yahoo's results.
For example, if someone does a search at Yahoo, the first page of results that comes up will have the top six paid listings from Overture in the Sponsored Matches and More Sponsored Matches area. However, if someone choose to see more results by using the "Next" link at the bottom of the page, a new second page of results will appear.
This second page will have listings from Overture, as well. This time, results seven through 12 from Overture will populate the Sponsored Matches and More Sponsored Matches area. If someone choose to see the third page of results at Yahoo, then listings 13 through 18 from Overture will be used.
The vast majority of people usually find what they want in the first page of results at Yahoo, so while results past Overture's top six may be used, don't expect much traffic to come to you if you are in these less premium positions.
Overture also has unpaid results that show up after all its paid listings. For some queries, there may even be no paid listings at all. That means an unpaid listing could be in a top spot at Overture. However, Overture only distributes its paid listing to Yahoo, a top unpaid position at Overture will not appear in Yahoo's Sponsored Matches area.
Finally, Yahoo may prevent some ads from appearing on its site, at its own discretion. For example, paid listings that eBay places with Overture for different keywords were being filtered out of the Sponsored Matches area at Yahoo.
Sponsor Matches Outside North America
Yahoo uses "geotargeting," where it shows paid listings from different sources, depending on a person's geographical location. Yahoo can make a good guess at where someone is located at by looking at their browser's IP address.
This means, as previously stated, those visiting Yahoo.com from North America will get paid listings from Overture in the US. However, those coming to Yahoo.com from the United Kingdom get different listings -- those from Overture UK.
Many people from outside North America come to Yahoo.com. This means that if you wish to target them via the Sponsored Matches area, you may need to run ads in addition to those you may already be running with Overture US. Otherwise, due to geotargeting, those outside North America will never see your Overture US ads on Yahoo.com.
Here's a summary of some major ways that Yahoo.com geotargets paid listings in the Sponsored Matches area and where those geotargeted listings come from:
Searcher's Location Paid Listing Provider
For Yahoo.com
North America
(US & Canada)
Overture US
United Kingdom Overture UK
Australia LookSmart Australia
Japan Overture Japan
& Google AdWords
Just to complicate matters, in addition to Yahoo.com, Yahoo also operates a large number of country-specific web sites. For example, Yahoo UK serves the United Kingdom. Each of these web sites may have their own arrangements to show Sponsor Matches entirely different from the chart above.
For example, if you go to Yahoo UK from inside the UK, you'll see Sponsor Matches that come from Espotting UK. Despite this, if you then go to Yahoo.com from within the UK, you'll see Overture UK results.
The chart below shows for a particular searcher's location, what they'll see in the way of paid listings if they go to their "local" Yahoo versus Yahoo.com:

Italy Yahoo Italy uses

Scandinavia Various Yahoo properties use or

Japan Yahoo Japan uses Overture Japan & Google AdWords unknown
As you can see, if you wanted to reach those in the UK via Yahoo's Sponsored Matches area, you'd likely need to run ads with both Espotting UK (to cover those going to the local Yahoo UK site) and Overture UK (to cover those who may go to the Yahoo.com site.

How can you see what a "local" person might see, if you aren't in the same country as a local Yahoo? Use an IP cloaking service. No, this has nothing to do with search engine cloaking. Instead, it is simply a service that disguises your IP address. Here are two such services that I've found will make it seem at if you are in the US, even if you are not:
