    People still use Yahoo for search? :)

    Just optimize your site as best as you can (and then do more) for best results.

    30% of my organic traffic comes from yahoo.
    If you have a more family, entertainment, lifestyle related site, there are more chance you get traffic for Y! if you rank decently.
    Moreover, if you rank good and you have a keyword that can get in the "Today's Top search" in Yahoo home page, you can see your traffic skyroketing.
    I have been there a couple of time and got up to 8000/10000 u/v while my avg is 800 LOL!.. Not gonna tell how nice is to look at your adsense account those days :D

    My experience is that my Yahoo traffic is much more dependable. For a while the Google/Yahoo split was 50/50. though now I've been in google doldrums and Yahoo is the majority of my traffic 65% of 25K monthly visits.

    Also the yahoo traffic is much more focused on particular keywords and my Google traffic is more of "the long tail" (I have 400K pages on my site).

    Google is the search engine king so expect more from them. As others have said above, Yahoo usually takes longer and doesn't bring in as much.

    I think yahoo can't give you much traffic compare to google.

    Yahoo index is very slow sometime compare to that of Google, continue optimizing for yahoo the traffic will come soon or later.

    Moreover, It is worth to get traffic from yahoo too, no matter how small it is. Good luck

    Yahoo slurp is always pretty busy on my new sites, but Y has added very few of the pages to it's index, let alone ranked them in the SERPs so far.

    Perhaps it is because the sites are so new, but at least slurp is spidering the sites.

    Google brings much more traffic to your websites than Yahoo. On the other hand, it is always good to optimize for both (Yahoo and Google) mainly in highly competitive fields as sometimes it is easier to get on Yahoo first page than on Google first page.
