I agree and it can be quite a pain in the butt to get high ranks on both engines. Sometimes its like Google and Yahoo! run complete opposite algorithms. I would suggest focusing on Google and see what else you can do with Yahoo!
Focus on title keyword targeting, along with image/text anchoring your keywords, plus getting larger relevant websites to link to you is a good start.
The following seems to help a bit in some circumstances:
#1 Create a blog.. a free one with blogspot.com is a nice way to get the pages indexed quickly
#2 Create a small forum... use free software or vBulletin to get noticed quickly
#4 Create a sitemap and submit to Yahoo! every so often
#5 If you have some dough laying around.. pay for their Directory Service.
#6 If you want to spend $20/mo for marketing.. pay a company such as IneedHits.com and have them submit your website to 3 relevant directories per month.
The idea behind #1 and #2 is trying to get more focus on other pages besides your Homepage. Try to get attention to more than just one page. A lot of people can rank high on their Homepage, but have nothing come up with the rest of their pages. The more pages you have showing up... the better.
