    Hey friend,
    I don't know what's the issue here..
    I get almost 1000 unique visits from Google web and Google image search result...

    Mine is a tech blog
    www.shoutmeloud.com
    with Page rank #3

    Apart from Google I'm not getting traffic from Yahoo search or MSN search..
    M I missing something??

    Pages from my blog are indexed on yahoo still no traffic.. :(

    Well, Google takes a longer amount of time to rank well than Yahoo, and MSN do... They also use different algorithms to rank sites well, so even though your site ranks well in Google, it may not rank as well in Yahoo, or MSN.

    for first 2-3 months after you install google analytics, it is also possible that google analytics do not read yahoo and msn bots as their correct name. it happened to me once..

    So, wait 2-3 months.. if still no show. use yahoo siteexplorer to authenticate site and use msn live webmasters to authenticate your site. it's very easy process and your site got indexed faster than ever.

    try to use yahoo site explorer because it will actually help you to track incoming links, so that you can monitor your linkage.

    Normally, my traffic is

    google, yahoo, msn, ask in that order, so wait 2-3 months if u just installed google analytics, if it's more than 2-3 months, u need to get SEO part done effectively.

    Remember, regarding SEO, it's easier to said than done, experience yourself or hire professional who can make real impact.

    I bet to differ.. yahoo gives heaps of traffic, especially from asia countries. they still stick to yahoo because yahoo got a big chunk of email addresses and many members are still using it, once they use yahoo email, they still love to search in yahoo as well..

    do not discount yahoo and LIVE MSN, because they bring pretty much good traffic to you.. even ask.com, I got hundreds of organic visitors that is actually very good..

    I count any source of traffic is valuable as long as they keep track of our sites at no charge and people can still visit...

    I ran into the same problem, but I was getting traffic from Yahoo and not Google. I read some articles I found on the net about optimizing your website for search engines and within a month I began getting traffic from Google that more than doubled my traffic from Yahoo.

    well, google search is always more, look at the google empire.. but remember, no offense, but to say it easy, noobs still use msn live and yahoo, they are more prone to clicking ads vs links, graphical ads, also easy to provide information.. there is a good niche..

    if you write a blog post about how to operate your xp control panel, you will notice you will get good traffic from yahoo and msn.. sometimes, we all forget that there are raw market who are still new to computer and internet.

    Look at how this lady makes thousands of income every month.. she provides fantastic but very basic facts. check here.. for her site, her name is Lisa., I have never received heaps of comments on a single entry, hence this. Massive visitors for just simple information. I always admire her because simple is money these days.. DP forums is different market, but yea, there are whole billions of people who uses yahoo and msn LIVE for simple searches.

    My Google search engine traffic is always no.1 and Yahoo always no. 2

    Even rite now Google is ranked no.1 in the world.

    Yahoo's no.1 supremacy has dropped to no. 2

    Not surprising as Google provides better services than Yahoo in almost every department.

    There is something fishy there. I get 25% of my total traffic from Yahoo.

    I think actually the problem is in Yahoo itself, now a days very few people are using Yahoo for searching, so i think thats what the reason why yahoo never send traffic to our blogs, I have a blog TheChetan.com , having 20% traffic from Yahoo+MSN combined and almost all other traffic is from Google !! :)

    I have to agree with you here. Especially about yahoo traffic. A LOT of people have yahoo as their homepage, which means that they will usually use yahoo for their searches. Also, many people have the yahoo toolbar installed, which also means if they search through that, then

    Exactly.. sometimes, we all focus too much on google.. and all I am trying to say is we should at least focus on big 3 in SE world..

    Like DP has lowest conversion on my sites for referrals or signups, but some forums would convert whole lot better. coz here, everyone is IT literate and competitive.. same as google to other search engines..

    people use google, but still yahoo and msn live brings alot as well

    I sometimes use them too.. earning is based on learning, if we do not keep in touch with yahoo or other search engines, we may never know what's going on with them, some people just make good money with yahoo search for some niches.
