Yahoo Keyword Density Analysis Comparison to Google - Month 2
Low Traffic Single Word Keywords
(Research Compiled 3/22/2004 by goRank.com)
Research Overview
This month, we compare the same keywords from last month with this months
keyword density results. The primary interest of this month was to see if
there was any significant changes over the past month. The results show
that there was the typical small shifts in the Google results, but the Yahoo
results remained almost constant. We hope you find the research below useful.
Please keep in mind that keyword density is just one part of an overall
optimization strategy. There are many other elements we do not address here,
but we hope we can help discover secrets to the keyword density component
of the SEO toolbox.
The goal of this analysis is to compare the keyword density elements
of Yahoo's algorithm with Google's algorithm for March 2004. The top 10
results for over 2000 keywords were analyzed from both Yahoo and Google
to create this report data covering over 40,000 data points. We decided
to use single word keywords that have a small number of searches per month.
These keywords are low traffic and likely non-competitive which should
help to achieve a more accurate picture of how each engine ranks pages.
Each result URL was analyzed to produce a keyword density report. The
results in this report have been compiled from this keyword density data.
Note: Data can be interpreted in many ways, our goal is currently not
to try to interpret the data, but rather we want to publish it and let
others interpret the results. If you publish an interpretation please
let us know as we may present it on our site. Any works that use the data
presented here must give credit to goRank.com as the source and provide
a link back to our site.
