Indexed on Yahoo! But No Traffic :-(

[dawei888]

I have my new sites indexed on Yahoo! but I'm have trouble getting traffic. Any advice? Thanks!

Just because it's indexed doesn't mean traffic, you have to rank high for important keywords.

I also get all my traffic from google and almost zero from yahoo.

I'm just the opposite, my main site gets about 10 times the traffic from yahoo as it does from google.

[herbcan]

Maybe because yahoo rates your lesser keywords higher then google

[ella9]

traffic from Yahoo is typically lower than google

It's the same with me, I get more traffic from yahoo than google.
If you want to see some traffic from Yahoo you just have to wait a long time (build backlinks) until you get some traffic.

[Wachiraj]

important.!!! you must have a nick keyword

[chuckiesd]

I get more form Google...

[x.marty.x]

Most people get more from Google, they just hold more of the market.

I thinks you should review some like a meta text of your pages that show in yahoo search.
It should be attractive word.

:D

[kingishere]

may be the keyword, you have optimised for is not so highly searched, so work according that

Google is best

[Essex-Services]

Yahoo only accounts for a tiny % of our visitors, now Bing appears to be overtaking them.
Google accounts for 90% of our visitors usually - that is why they are the best and most important.

I have good back links from yahoo bu5t traffic is very low . Its hard to understand but you have to search and rank for easily targeted keywords .

[larryatdp]

[sweetyprachi]

You must get high SERP for your targeted niche.

Do some keyword research... there was this one guy I met in other forum who was doing SEO services and the one keyword he showed me he ranked #1 for was "Dolphin Helper" ... now I wonder how many people actually search for that keyterm! lol ...

Target some long tail phrases for better results!

[NatalieGibson]

Of course you gotta work about the traffic.
Don't stick unto being indexed in Yahoo.
You better make motives in getting your targeted traffic.
One way is through participating on forums.
Or in Yahoo answers...
I get a lot of traffic from Yahoo Answers.

[kingishere]

i think google is better than yahoo. so monetize ur website acc to google.

[Luke Beale]

Improve your site like you would for Google and then you might get indexed better.

[kansari]

It takes time to new sites to appear in serp.

[lifeplayer]

Get indexed is not enough, you need to improve your keyword SERP

[danephillips]

For searching I use yahoo or bing I hate Google search return.

[lyndapearl]

The most important things are indexed and good SERP. Your site indexed by Yahoo but place in the hundred pages, it's imposible to get visitors.

[jonseo]

it depends of you yahoo SERP. only yahoo index your site you can't get traffic

[miles2go]

Do the social marking of your site. Try to create link of your site from different other site. This will increase you back link and PR. which increase your rank in search.

1. Update your website every day by adding more unique content. If you site has some information for a visitor then it is 100% chance for him to come back to your site again.
2. Provide inside linking to your website. For example you can provide a link of your previous and next articles on an article page. Or you can provide a list of related articles so visitor can remains a long time on your website.
3. Create sitemap for your website (XML based for Google and text based for yahoo) then submit sitemap to Google and submit sitemap to Yahoo. Get a Google webmaster account and sign in there to see your website statistics. It will also tell you if you site is indexed or not, and your page rank in Google. click here to Generate Sitemap
4. And the most important tips. Trade your link with other web owners. Put their link on your website and they will put your link in them. This is for free and the very fast way to improve your visibility in search engines.
