Hey guys, I need some help. My site receives 30 times more traffic from Google than Yahoo and MSN combined. Is that normal ? Why there is such a big difference in traffic ? What could i do to increase Yahoo and MSN traffic ?
Google simply gets a bigger share of the searches than yahoo and MSN. However continue to link and attempt to increase your rankings in Yahoo and MSN. Regards Chris
Yes, it is normal. Google have the biggest share of search engine market. People are usinf Google search more any other search engine allover the world.
Yes, Google does have a bigger market share but Yahoo is still big. What can i do to increase Yahoo traffic ? Any strategies to get Yahoo's attention ?
There could be any number of reasons for this. But whether its a problem, or whether you need to worry about it, depends on how long its been happening, and how much search engine traffic you get each day. If you suddenly start getting 100 visits a day from Google and only 3 or 4 visits from others, then just keep building your site and optimizing for Google. The other search engines will eventually catch on, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. If your getting 1000 visits a day from Google and have been consistently getting that many for several months, but have only been getting 30 or 40 visits from others, then there may be a problem. But yeah, it all depends on how much and for how long. You could try starting an MS live blog and maybe start participating in Yahoo answers to see if that helps with the other SE's. But generally, I find that when you start ranking well in Google for competitive keywords, the others aren't too far behind. Cheers James
If you have more budget, get your site listed on yahoo directory as well. It'll increase your traffic soon.
I doubt this is the best way to improve your yahoo rankings, $299 for one link ( no matter how good it is ) isn't probably the best idea. You are better off spending that kind of money on several authority links which are in the same niche.
