Very less hits from "Yahoo search" as compared to "Google search"

    Below is the statistics of my website: www.projectsof8051.com
    (Statistics for past 3 months)

    Search engine - Visits
    Google -------- 3,622
    Yahoo -------- 112
    Bing ---------- 68

    this clearly shows that there is less than 10% traffic from Yahoo, as compared to Google.

    What can be the reason behind this?

    And how can I improve SEO for Yahoo and Bing.

    75% market share of searching is captured by Google and other search engine fight in remaining 25%. So you cannot do nothing in this.

    Thats because people dont use yahoo and bing for searches to often

    yahoo search and seo is worth only if your business is heavy usa based.

    Not only does Google dominate search (far more people use it than the others combined), but all three engines have different ranking algorithms. Your URLs are ranking for different keyword phrases in the different engines. So don't expect an even distribution ever. It's just not going to happen.

    i think the reason is less people doing search with Yahoo, or even Bing.
    Yahoo is more popular on it's Yahoo answer, rather than on its search engine

    Yahoo and Bing GET very little traffic compared to Google and can therefore only SEND a limited amount.

    Google has about 70% market share so even if you ranked at #1, #2, #3....#10 on Yahoo you'd STILL get more traffic for a reasonable ranking on Google

    Thats true, It may all due to the number of people that uses Yahoo or Bing as compared to Google.

    Depends on the country. Here in the Netherlands google has a whopping marketshare of 95%
