I am not getting any traffic from yahoo searches why ? and even Live Search doesnt help to drive any traffic. i get the traffic only from google. is it may be because most of the people use google ? or is there any other reason for it .
You do get very low traffic from live search, but u will get high quality clicks and better ROI than google
It really depends on how your sites are optimized. I tend to get 4x traffic from Yahoo that converts much better than traffic from Google. I will take that Yahoo traffic all day.
Yeah, I get solid Yahoo traffic from some of my sites. I would optimize your titles, which seem to be something that Yahoo and MSN pays a lot of attention to.
even in SERP it's hard to make my keywords ranked in yahoo... but my keywords in google is in top 10... but my backlinks in yahoo is higher than in google...
when I look at my logs I wonder the same thing as almost all my traffic comes from G - I think it used to be that if were listed in Yahoo's directory it would help you in their search engine results but not so much any more - Any tips for ranking well in other SE's welcome!
I prefer Yahoo users to be honest. They click on ads and buy more than the users who come in via Google. Someone has mentioned something similar above and there have been a few posts on DP discussing this as well. If you dismiss Yahoo traffic, you fail as a webmaster. You want as much traffic from as many sources as possible. For those wanting to know how to SEO for Yahoo, you may want to read this thread - How to Opimize for Yahoo
I found yahoo seems has been little update yesterday. my Adulu.com getting traffic from yahoo. I think will getting traffic day by day though only 1 visitor yesterday.
I typically get far more visitors from G than from Y and MSN combined. This is not the correct market share each SE owns, so I tend to believe there is something else. Haven't been able to find why though.
Hi i am a SEO person. I understood your question you get most of the traffic from GOOGLE but not from yahoo because most of the people use google rather than yahoo
Actually search engine traffic is depend on country. visitor are using different search engine in different location. suppose New Zealand people most probably prefer Xtra.co.nz (Yahoo NZ). US people use Google, AOL and so on......
Hi there I also have this problem i get very little traffic from yahoo, its ok saying dont worry about yahoo, but every hit counts and its frustrating to see ur competators at the top of somwhere, where you cant even get one hit from lol ! Woc
I also don't have any traffic from Yahoo and MSN while I have from google. What is the reason? Even my keywords is in google on top but in Yahoo and MSN I am unable to find out.
Best advice in this thread. Google is volume. MSN/Yahoo are quality. You will have less clicks, but better conversions. And CONVERSIONS are the name of the game. I'll take a 1/50 over a 1/3000 any day. 2 cents
