3 Month Old Site: Google vs. Yahoo Organic Traffic

    Google: 33,041 visits

    Yahoo!: 1,241 visits


    What am I doing wrong that my Google traffic is 30 times my Yahoo! traffic? Site is a little over 3 months old, had no pagerank in google, yet (link is in sig).

    I'm a little confused becasue I've heard that it's so much easier to rank in Yahoo! than Google.

    Yahoo and Google use different algorithms on rankings site. You might received lots of traffic through Google now because of your rankings. Improve your link building and contents that might help. And yes a lot use google as search engine. :)

    I'd say that the incoming links to your site are more relevant to G's taste vs. Y!

    I notice the same thing with my sites. Remember, Google is much larger than Yahoo.

    Are you crazy? Google is supposed to produce more. Yahoo doesn't get half the traffic Google does for most phrases. Some phrases google gets 50,000 hits for Yahoo gets 500 or less.

    You don't have to really worry about that as Google received a lots of visitors rather than Yahoo though it is much better if you'll also get some more visits on yahoo...:)
