What percentage of your traffic comes from yahoo?

    How much traffic do you get from Yahoo compared to other search engines?

    What percentage of your website traffic is generated from organic search results at Yahoo?

    What percentage of your traffic do you expect to come from Yahoo?

    This month I got almost 6% of my total traffic from Yahoo. Percentage during the year dances between 5% and 8%. I don't expect so much traffic from Yahoo but I'm very happy to receive 75% of total traffic from Google organic.

    Well, most of my traffic comes from Romania becouse thats where I am, thats what i'm writing etc.
    In Romania few people are using Yahoo or other search engines. So very few are coming from yahoo.. unfortunatley.

    This is straight from my google analytics account.

    Total traffic for the past 30 days:
    * 288,958 visits
    * 2,967,320 Pageviews


    Source:
    google (organic)--- 139,619 ---- 48.32%
    (direct) ((none)) --- 91,070 ---- 31.52%
    yahoo (organic) ---- 8,494 ----- 2.94%
    aol / organic ------- 2,988
    msn / organic ------ 1,897
    search / organic ---- 1,257
    live / organic ------- 1,019
    stumbleupon.com / referral - 964
    ask / organic -------- 626


    Bounce Rate:
    Google - 55.34%
    Yahoo - 30.89%
    AOL - 54.95%
    MSN - 38.64%

    Yahoo supplies 2.94% of my total traffic and with a bounce rate of 30.89%. So even though yahoo sends my forum less traffic then google, its more targeted and has a lower bounce rate.

    over all these years to the main page it's been about 26% from yahoo. i suspect a lot of that was from the directory listing years ago and has fallen off the past few...mostly google from what i see

    Mine is around 10-15% on established sites and such, which have pictures; & up to 30% on new sites(although with very good rankings in google!) which absolutely have no any images on them!

    Still, somehow I believe yahoo traffic converts better...

    I usually get traffic from yahoo less than 10%, most of my traffic from google, social bookmarking sites and social networks.

    If I remember, it's only about 10 to 15% which contributes small difference to overall search engine traffic.
