Problems getting rated by Yahoo

I have a online gaming website that I have built up over the past 12 months. I have done some SEO on it and there are almost 100 pages of valuable and unique content.

The problem I have is that it seems to be totally ignored by Yahoo. I get traffic from Google, but almost nothing from Yahoo. Does Yahoo use fundamentally different criteria, and what can I do to get their traffic?

The site is www.playhard.co.uk.

Thanks for any help!

1. Remove the pop up, its just plain stupid and annoying
2. http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=link%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.playhard.co.uk&ei=UTF-8&fr=sfp&n=20&fl=0&x=wrt

You are in there, but your ranking is low. You will need to find a way to stick out above those other gambling sites. The pop up should be removed.

Thanks. I agree the pop-up is annoying but it does actually get me traffic. I've done it as a pop-under which I thought was less intrusive.

After what you've said I've removed it. Does anyone know if pop-ups on a page actually harm your search engine ranking? Perhaps that explains my problems with Yahoo?

Thanks for teh advice. All popups and scrolling has been removed from the site and it definitely looks more professional now I think. I just need to build traffic now.

Cheers.

Yahoo is sneaky.
They want money.
If you are going to be ANYWHERE good in their rankings.... they want you to pay for it. (and I am not even referring to 'sponsored links')
They take ALL sites that pay as priority in their searches, THEN they will take results from google and other engines.
The fee can range greatly, but a fee nonetheless. They like to use the guise of it being 'free submission' but through digging about a year ago, this is what I unearthed.
That is why google rox!
