    Interestingly I'm starting to like yahoo more as they are starting to drive more traffic to my site =) about the same proportion as google. Bing, or windows live drives a negligible amount of traffic.

    Since Google is being used by 70% of USA's internet users, you would think that Google is far better at driving traffic for your website than any other search engine...

    As for your traffic you prefer yahoo, is there any specific keywords or some other interesting because of that you are getting well from the yahoo instead of Google. And what do you think about other search engines.

    I wish Yahoo and BING are big enough to overtake Google. I do not like one big giant over the whole market

    but, its a wish

    Google any day is better than other search engines, not to mention simple and fast to use. A fact echoed by all the websites I run, which receive 80-85% of their search engine traffic from Google.

    Google is by far the best but Yahoo is much better to work with when using PPC.

    Nope there is no really any noticeable trend with the keywords. I did notice that my blog's new posts are being indexed by yahoo much faster than Google. As for other search engines, their hits are negligible. I mean a few from Ask and else where, but the main ones are from Yahoo and Google.

    If only these two choices available and I have to answer from webmaster perspective, Google is the way to go without a doubt.
