Default Yahoo position poor. But Why?

Hi,

Having no luck getting up the Yahoo search listing position but don't know why.

www.buzzjack.com on numerous searches are Top10 on Google and MSN but very low listed or not listed at all on Yahoo.
Anyone any ideas why what should be?

Example search terms that list Top10 on Google & MSN but nowhere on Yahoo are:-
Nelly Furtado Forum
P!nk Forum
Rachel Stevens Forum
Scissor Sisters Forum

I'm not sure, but I'm having the same trouble with hotactress. I rank very well on MSN, and I get most of my traffic from Google, but Yahoo! still falls short.

The results Yahoo returns above are often quite inappropriate. I think I'm just going to ignore it and hope it sorts itself out.

Hi the reason you dont rank well on yahoo is because your meta description tag on every page is the same.Therefore you hit a duplicate conent penalty.
This is visable on google as most of your pages have gone suplimental.
If you change these and made a unique meta tag decription on every page, not also would you rank well yahoo, but your serps on google would improve.
MSN dont penalise that much on this.
I made this very same mistake.

Sorry...newb question.

I've seen the term "gone suplimental" here a couple of times. Just wondering what this means and how do you know?

Try to submit to yahoo directory, and then wait for half or one month.

Update
Nelly Furtado Forum - Rank #4
P!nk Forum - Rank #2
Rachel Stevens Forum - Rank #1
Scissor Sisters Forum - Rank #1

What have I done?
Removed some of the duplicates by excluding the /lofiversion/
Reduced many page links by adding rel=nofollow (this may or may not be relevant to yahoo)

Seduct post is spot on I think, however I don't have the ability to update the meta description tag on pages.
