    Even I get very little traffic, from yahoo. It's hardly about 5% of my total traffic,most of my traffic comes from google only.

    Doesn't sound like it's all that highly competitive to me, what's the keyword?
    #1 in Yahoo is still worth bank if it's really a highly searched keyword even though Google would probably throw over double that amount in traffic.
    If you're #1 spot in Yahoo is throwing 25 hits per month then Google would probably throw you about 60, time to shoot for a real search term that people actually search for.
    I would recommend using the Google keyword tool.

    Yea a #1 spot in Yahoo will get you a lot of traffic if it is a good keyword. It must be a keyword that just does not get that much traffic, or your title of your site is not catchy and is just not pulling in visitors. Try playing with your Title to see if you can pull some more visitors by changing it to something catchy (as this is what shows in the SEs).

    I have never considered yahoo for search engine traffic. I could not even get indexed in a short time. I think Google leads so better stick with that.

    Google receives most of worlds search traffic. Being on 2nd page in Google will bring more traffic than being on a first page in Yahoo. Same for Bing.

    Yahoo does give a great amount of traffics for specific niche such as jewelry, handbags and most kind of shopping product related. This could be compared to Google when your site did ranked well in the same keyword for both of them. However, even Google gives you more amount of traffics in many niches/keywords it does not mean that is a "quality" traffics really. If you sell some product or you are an affiliate, you would want traffics that convert and not just a regular reader. In some niches I mentioned Yahoo traffics do have more conversion rate compared to Google, in the same keyword of course.

    I get quite a few from Yahoo. Google is definately the top one though. I wonder how Yahoo decide which websites to rank higher than others.

    Yahoo sent very less visitors to your site. Getting 20-25 visitors is good traffic if it is coming only from yahoo. Moreover yahoo offers much targetted visitors I guess.
