Correlation between google and yahoo indexed pages

[jamesjd7]

My blog ocpatentlawyer.com has about 130 pages or so.  Google has indexed most if not all of the posts and pages.  In contrast, yahoo has only indexed about 1/4 of the pages and posts.

Are there any actions that can be taken based on this information?  For example, if i prepare a blog post should I prepare it so that it will most likely be indexed into yahoo knowing that google will also index it.  If so, how can i prepare blog posts that will most likely be indexed into yahoo's index?

Bing allows you to directly submit up to 10 URLs/day and 50/month for indexing. https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx

After your new articles are published, manually submit them and Bing will index them. Based on the quality of the article, social lift, back links and CTR for search queries Bing may choose to remove the pages from their index later.

Otherwise your best bet is to ensure new articles are linked from your site's home page, such as in a "Top News" or "Recent Articles" block. Also try to immediately obtain social mentions and links to your new articles. If the article is deemed important, Bing will index it without the need to submit the URL.

I don't believe that there is any onpage optimization to make it more likely that Yahoo vs. Google will index posts. There are things you can do to increase crawl rate, which will  makes it more likely to have more pages indexed. For example,  you can make sure you  have resolved any duplicate content issues on  your site - archives for example, should be excluded by robots.txt (there are WP plugins to help with this, btw).

Perhaps more to the point, I believe social media -- bookmarking, Tweeting, Facebook Page links, etc. -- can increase indexing of posts. I know it works in Google, perhaps someone else can it works in  Yahoo.
