    The majority of my traffic is not from Yahoo, but they're from Google instead.... probably around 10% comes from Yahoo.. this is also consistant throughout most of my sites too, for a reason I don't understand why.

    Less than half of my traffic (31.58%) comes from Yahoo, and the majority (66.67%) comes from Google. But I actually rank higher in Yahoo for most of my keywords than in Google. Weird.

    My traffic is about 85-90% from Google most days. This is because they evidently rank my pages higher for many search terms.

    I have a total of 760,000 dynamic pages from my MySQL database of health studies, and Google has indexed about 75,000 of them. Their index total varies from day to day, depending on whatever is going on with which datacenter the query hits.

    That 75,000 is about 25% of the Google Sitemap I uploaded to them, which showed about 300,000 pages. I'm working on uploading a full version listing all 760,000 current URLs in a new sitemap.

    If they index only 25% of THOSE pages, then Google will be showing a total indexed pages of about 150-160,000. That would be nice.

    NOW, question is, how many pages does YAHOO show in their index?

    Well, they used to show about 17,000, compared to Google's 75,000. (My server went down a couple days ago and Yahoo dropped down to listing only 3,900 pages. Hopefully that will go back to previous levels in a few days.)

    NOW to the nitty-gritty: Yahoo usually delivers only about 7% of the traffic, compared to Google delivering 85% or so. That's less than 10% of Google's traffic, even though they usually list about 25% of the pages, compared to Google.

    On a visitor-per-indexed-page basis, that means that Yahoo is only about 1/4 as efficient as Google.

    I think this reflects the general consensus user searching experience. Most people who try both engines prefer to use Google. I think this is because of the appropriateness or usefulness of the search results. That's why Google delivers more visitors per indexed page than Yahoo.

    About 4 times more.

    Yeah, you don't hear people say "Yahoo it" or "MSN it" when asking about a term. They always say "Google it".

    I have more pages indexed in Yahoo too than in Google.....and I still get more traffic from the big G.

    I guess it just proves that Google rocks out more than any other SE
