My website is on page one of Google and MSN, but it is not in the top-15 page results of Yahoo. Do you know what could be causing this? Is this common?
Thank you in advance.

It's not a "problem" it's just how SEO works.

I've had a site in the same situation for about the past year, but it has started appearing a little better on Yahoo lately.

Really? I would say that it is a problem.
Yahoo! could have given your site a penalty or something.

For what? They don't just penalize sites for fun.

No, but their manual review process is so arbitrary it just seems like they're doing it for fun.

Yes it can be quite random sometimes...

In my experience I agree that it's just how search engines work. They use different ranking methodology and thus they often produce very different results. It's not uncommon at all to find a site listed at the top of Google and not in the first 30 results of Yahoo, or vice versa.
My site ranked well on MSN first, then slowly ranked well on Yahoo, but has made very little progress with Google and Ask. Do I think I've been penalized by Google or Ask? No, I just think those search engines work differently and their methodology is not ranking my site as highly as Yahoo and MSN.

Exactly. Which is why it's critical to be optimizing for hundreds of phrases, not just one.
