    Ive always thought Yahoo traffic converted better in general, but always even with tried and tested methods, Google seems to love my work more.

    1 site i did as a test to try and gain yahoo traffic ended up with 90% google & 10% yahoo.

    Any tips on making my sites do better in yahoo ? i mean its not a huge market but still all the numbers add up, and i wouldn't be a webmaster if i wasn't trying my best.

    Thanks

    Sure. Some sites naturally rank better there, or Google slaps them back in the SERPs so that is all you are left with. Wish I knew why.

    It is very common websites get more traffic from google and not from yahoo.
    yahoo is only 15-20 percent of the total searches.

    I typically rank better on Yahoo than Google with new sites, and as they age Google begins to take over again.

    I get about 95% of searches from Google. The other 5% from yahoo or live. I think it's due to the amount of people who use Google and no other search engine.

    Oddly enough, yes I do in fact with only one of my sites. Even though it only has one page, and its a blog, its ranked number one for its keyword. :)

    You need to do different optimisations for yahoo and google. Most of the SEO companies work on google as it is most widely used search engine.One of my clients ranked 1 on yahoo but had half the traffic when he ranked 3rd on google

    I think this is because yahoo is not been used more by people as compared to google
