About Yahoo Search Results

Does Yahoo still matter?

In most Western markets Yahoo is a rounding error, and there is no point pretending otherwise. Its search share has been in slow decline for well over a decade.

Two things keep it worth a look. In Japan it remains one of the largest search engines by a wide margin, so any site trading there has a real reason to care. And elsewhere, Yahoo still carries a long tail of older users who have never changed a default in their lives.

A Yahoo SERP checker costs you one search to find out whether either applies to your market.

How Yahoo results are produced

Yahoo has not run its own web index for years - its organic results are supplied by Bing, so the two lists usually look similar and often match outright.

They are not identical, though. Yahoo applies its own presentation, its own ad placement and its own layer of content around the results, and the ordering can differ enough to be worth confirming rather than assuming.

Practically, that means the work of ranking on Yahoo is the work of ranking on Bing. There is no separate Yahoo optimisation to do.

How to use this check

Run the same keyword here and on Bing. Where the lists agree, you can treat Bing as your proxy for Yahoo from then on and stop checking both.

Where they diverge, the difference is usually presentation rather than a genuinely different assessment of the pages - though it can still change which result a user reaches first.

If Yahoo matters to your market, set the location deliberately; the difference between markets here is far larger than the difference between Yahoo and Bing.

What this tool checks

Enter a keyword and a location and the tool returns the top 10 organic Yahoo results, in order, with the title and URL of each.

The lookup is made fresh for the keyword and location you choose rather than read from stored rankings.

Where to go next

Since Yahoo runs on Bing results, the two are best read together. Compare the same keyword on Bing and on Google, and make sure crawlers can reach your pages with the robots.txt checker.
