The difference in traffic volume for yahoo vs google

    I am ranked number one for one search term in Yahoo. The number of unique visitors per day is about 50.

    I have one EZINE ARTICLE ranked on first page in Google for the same search phrase, the number of clicks per day is 400. (may include some who search directly inside Ezine)

    Anyone here has ranked both number one in Yahoo vs Google vs MSN etc and then maybe share the visitors numbers?

    I has similar results, google traffic is always seems greater... My Yahoo traffic is higher quality though, I guess those guys liked the site better maybe. Need more data :)

    On my ite i'm getting 61% from google 25 % yahoo And 13% from msn and just 1% from other search engines


    I know google giving us more traffic but i think yahoo is also not totally useless And most important thing is this that people those are coming From yahoo are spending much time on my site

    You will on average get about 10 times more traffic in Google than Yahoo, depending on the niche.
