Anyone get more Yahoo traffic than Google traffic ?

[zinghana]

Ive always thought Yahoo traffic converted better in general, but always even with tried and tested methods, Google seems to love my work more.

1 site i did as a test to try and gain yahoo traffic ended up with 90% google & 10% yahoo.

Any tips on making my sites do better in yahoo ? i mean its not a huge market but still all the numbers add up, and i wouldn't be a webmaster if i wasn't trying my best.

Thanks

[budfox]

Sure. Some sites naturally rank better there, or Google slaps them back in the SERPs so that is all you are left with. Wish I knew why.

[YSeo]

It is very common websites get more traffic from google and not from yahoo.
yahoo is only 15-20 percent of the total searches.

[Gallito]

I typically rank better on Yahoo than Google with new sites, and as they age Google begins to take over again.

[kancy]

I always rank much better on google than yahoo. A greater portion of my traffic has consistently come from google

[SEOBOT]

Yes for one of blog i get good traffic from yahoo rather google.

[outshineworld]

my one website gets 80% of the traffic from yahoo.
i receive almost 5-10 signupps from yahoo everyday.

[tr1x]

I get about 95% of searches from Google. The other 5% from yahoo or live. I think it's due to the amount of people who use Google and no other search engine.

[gnk_corp]

Oddly enough, yes I do in fact with only one of my sites. Even though it only has one page, and its a blog, its ranked number one for its keyword. :)

You need to do different optimisations for yahoo and google. Most of the SEO companies work on google as it is most widely used search engine.One of my clients ranked 1 on yahoo but had half the traffic when he ranked 3rd on google

[tampa_man_33]

All my sites I get more hits on google

[kidsnscience]

people loved to search on google so how yahoo will get more traffic than google

[rooothy]

One of my new sites just got picked up by Yahoo a few weeks after google. Now 90% of my traffic for that site is from Yahoo!

[kuzmanin]

My rakings is better in yahoo, but I have more trafic from google

[ciplseo]

My site position is excellent in Yahoo Search Engine.
Excluding I include supplementary traffic only Google

[ThisIsOli]

MOre people use google than yahoo end of, it's nothing to do with your own web building techniques.

[Saler]

For me its complete google.. rarely does yahoo join the fight.

[devabby]

Most traffic come from google, little bit come from yahoo

[Aman Gulati]

I think this is because yahoo is not been used more by people as compared to google

[freight guy]

I use to get great results from yahoo when I had my mortgage company

[coated]

Most of my search engine traffic is google as well.

[codecs]

99% of my traffic came from google.

[precious007]

I think it`s all about your SEO strategies you implement.... I personally receive more traffic from Google. Yahoo doesn`t seem to send as much traffic not even from the top listings.

[ruberr2002]

Obviously, I do get more organic traffic from google compare to yahoo, but since last couple of days I have seen a huge jump in traffic from yahoo. Not sure why?

[rekjl]

Well although my rankings are much better at Yahoo than google, Google sends me much more traffic compared to yahoo. Although yahoo answers do supply a good number of traffic for me.

[thsadmin]

My old site gets 100% more traffic from Yahoo than Google - because it's banned from Google ....

Depends on what country you live in .... Yahoo smashes Google in Asia ....

[Dan Hawkins]

I'm guessing most of you rank well in Google for some terms but those terms do not rank well in Yahoo?

Investigate. Find out which are your highest rankings keywords/keyphrases in Google then compare rankings in Yahoo.

Any different? Noticeably?

If you want to get more traffic from Yahoo1 then I suggest you submit to Yahoo! Directory

[dairyman]

If you want to get more traffic from Yahoo1 then I suggest you submit to Yahoo! Directory

Being accepted into yahoo directory alone will not guarantee traffic from yahoo. The seo for yahoo is quite different from that of google; generally websites get more traffic from google than yahoo because the volume of search is great in the former.

[jonbuoy]

Most sites will get more traffic from Google as Google has the greatest market share of search engine usage.

There will be exceptions, but like it or not, Google is king

[OliverG]

I've always ranked very well on Google, but a site i owned recently, for reasons completely unbeknownst to me, was ranking WAY higher on Yahoo while being something like the 5th page on Google. It wasn't because i got slapped by Google, because the site ranked naturally better from the day it was made. I can't even explain why it did so much better on Yahoo.

[flatroxonline]

i think no one

[freight guy]

I get a better ROI from yahoo then I do from google.

[nadalbg]

My site receives a lot more traffic from yahoo. Maybe its because its new and google still didnt update their search results, while yahoo updates fast.

[ezimedia]

[kevinmk]

[brian65]

All my sites get much more traffic on Google compared to Yahoo even though I rank better for some keywords on Yahoo.

[imeganetwork]

I get more traffic from yahoo than google. I even have more back links listed on yahoo more than google.

[ObliviousOne]

I dont, but a friend of mine had a website that was getting a lot of traffic from Yahoo, it was mostly image search traffic, he had a whole blog full of avatars similar to my own.

[domainer_10]

Google always does better unless the site does very poorly in google, then its only doing ok in yahoo cause it's relative.

I think yahoo likes older sites cause ive never had a relatively new site do well like ive had relatively new sites do well in Google.

[HostingIMyself]

I get more from google

[facedown_pogi]

little from yahoo.. and have a lot in google... how to improve yahoo indexing the site every 5minutes?

[Viktor Drej]

Whether it's from yahoo or google. it's .. they both organic..

[chenxiangzuan]

I recieve 95% traffic from Google, maybe 1$ from Yahoo. Anyway Google is better than Yahoo!

[xyour925job]

I get more hits from Google
On all my sites would like more from Yahoo!

[macaroon]

I got more traffic from google than yahoo before but I am not sure if it is still the same since I stopped using google analytics

Yahoo seems to reward age more than Google. So newer sites can have trouble ranking. After a year or more, the Yahoo traffic will start rolling in.

Now there are always exceptions. My brother had his site indexed and on page #1 of Yahoo for a popular search term in about a month.

I don't know how he did it and neither does he.

The best thing to do is what most webmasters do. Optimize for Google and treat the Yahoo traffic as a bonus.

[FPForum]

One of my newer site's currently gets more traffic than google but that's simply because it's so new and hasn't built up a strong enough reputation to compete with site's using the same keyword in Google. Yahoo and MSN are easier to "spam" your way to the top in..Although that's not what I do at all.

[Jim4767]

Of my total search engine traffic, Google is currently sending 61% and Yahoo is sending 26%.

[dmi]

I get way more visits from Google.

[nadalbg]

I get more traffic from both msn and yahoo than google.
For some reason msn thinks my site is so good (hehe) that it sends me a pretty ammount of traffic everyday.

[jasonb25]

I have been ranking well in Google for some time but only recently have i noticed a move up the yahoo serps. Who knows?

[Lovely]

I get more traffic in Google then yahoo and I think it is because People used Google more than yahoo.

[coloriteman]

I rank top for many of my keywords in Yahoo , but traffic is always from Google .

[Notorious]

I only get about 10-15% traffic from yahoo,

[0getloado]

My Google, Yahoo traffic ratio is around 100:2. If my sites get 102 unique visits a day 100 of them ae from Google and 2 of them are from Yahoo. To be frank, I don't care about optimizing my sites to Yahoo, that's way I faill miserably when it comes to getting traffic from Yahoo.

[skriblk]

Mine are equally divided. I get about 1600 unique visitors a day. Yahoo just edges out Google slightly.

[simstar]

Is yahoo really easier to rank?

It could just be that googles algo doesn't match your seo but yahoo does. That doesn't make it easier, just makes it different.

[airesao]

i get more google than yahoo and more yahoo then live

[long island insurance]

I get basically nothing from Yahoo. I get lots from Google and MSN.

[jakesjohn]

i dont think anyone will get it

[CAPRI2959]

I was getting more traffic from Yahoo than Google for one of my Hubpages article.

[geckoseo]

Most of users are search google, that's why most of traffic is comes on google.

[dc0ded]

My new blogs r getting more traffic and higher rankings on yahoo as compared to google..

[bollywoodgeeks]

same here.. hardly anything frm yahoo.. majority driver is google.. perhaps its coz google is a mre popular search engine.. now also wth its own browser (chrome) fast and simple to use
