The Google/Yahoo Connection

[TheGrid]

I have been telling myself and clients for a while that you do not need to specially SEO things for different search engines. While I stand by this (staunchly) I can't help but notice how SLOW yahoo is to pick up my SEO updates and rank them as compared to google. Sometimes I see Rank increases within a day or two (or sooner) But Yahoo is still well behind in their caching and calculations.

Bing controls Yahoo so make sure you are using Bing's Webmaster Tools and have XML sitemaps.

But the truth is that they are both different so it's really hard to control them both.
