Is there a way to increase my position in search results?

Several factors influence whether a particular web site appears in Web search results and where it falls in the ranking. These factors can include the number of other sites linking to it and the content on the pages.

Web search lists results ranked by relevance and combines web page matches from a search engine and from the Yahoo! Canada Directory. A particular site's position in a list of results can change over time.

Web Results may include sites that have either paid for expedited review, or paid for clicks to the site. These sites are ranked using the normal algorithm applied to Web Results. Their rank has not been changed due to payment.

Getting your site listed in the Yahoo! Canada Directory can increase the likelihood that your site will eventually show in Web search results. However, a listing in the Directory does not guarantee that it will be listed in Yahoo! Canada Search results in any particular manner or order, or make any guarantee about results.

You might also consider taking advantage of the third-party Sponsor Results program in order to have your site appear near the top of Yahoo! Canada Search results for a particular search query.
