It's pretty obvious what the reasons are. The people that do well in Google are doing search engine optimization correctly. Google picks it up much faster and counts the links. Yahoo! is extremely slow and is a garbage search engine. The people that know how to do SEO focus on relevant backlinks from good sites, so it pays off in Google.
Google sends about half my total traffic. Yahoo sends a quarter of the total. So Google versus Yahoo for me is about a two-to-one ratio.
This was not the case with yahoo b4...so how come it has gone too bad now..hardly a year back i was getting good traffic even from yahoo but not now??..any ideas
I'm really surprised by some of the very low percentages noted above for Yahoo traffic. Last month, out of 69K unique visitors, 36K came from Google and 17K from Yahoo. As noted above, about a 2-1 ratio Google to Yahoo. If you are getting significant traffic from Google, I can't imagine why you would be getting very little from Yahoo. I don't do SEO targeted on Google. I just do the normal, time-honored stuff, and that's how the numbers have worked out.
I don't have much yahoo traffic any more, but I had one site over a year ago that was getting a few thousand hits a day from yahoo and it was targeted, very profitable traffic Don't discount the power of SE traffic just because it's not from google.
i dont know what is going on with yahoo these days..it has been doing really good wayback..with google, everything is close to perfect
I am ranked in the top on google for certain keywords. I don't know why I'm not in yahoo... Guess I never really tried .. lol
Some of my keywords rock on yahoo while others are not,...While in Google many of my rankings is on the top.
My own domain name doesn't bring first position in Yahoo. Live give good search results for my site but no traffic because nobody uses Live search !!
Google traffic normally will be more since most of the internet user using google to search. So, nothing much to be suprised
For some reason ive got one new site that sits well in both for the time being, not expecting it to stay that way though.
For me, MSN ranks me the highest, Google ranks second highest, Yahoo doesn't rank. Google sends the most traffic, Yahoo comes second, MSN doesn't send any traffic. I don't know for which keywords yahoo is sending me traffic lol.
Yes the reason is definitely is that Google is a fatser and more efficient process and also maybe that users are crawling more in Google search engine than others.
