How much traffic does Yahoo brings you comparing with Google

    The title says all, how much traffic does Yahoo brings you comparing with Google?

    Is it worthing to put afford into getting on first page of yahoo?

    As I can see, Yahoo doesn't give too much importancy on content, doesn't scan it if there are no links on that specific article?

    Thanks.

    Mine's not as lopsided, as I rank better on some keywords in Yahoo, but it's close to 15 times more traffic for Google!

    i find it easy to rank on yahoo at times vs. google. yahoo seems to rank you higher and then drop you off in a matter of days.

    Besides that behaviour you are pointing at, Yahoo spend much more time crawling your site for no reason at all since they only list the index page.

    I have experienced for same keyword - same position in both Google.com and Yahoo.com before. Yahoo only brought me 10% compared to Google did for me. However, my site is still ranked same position in Google but not on Yahoo first page for now.

    I have sites that have the same keyword in both Yahoo and Google. In Yahoo, I have a keyword that is ranked #1 and in Google it is ranked #15. I get about 3% of my traffic from Yahoo and the rest from Google for that same keyword.

    of course Google is no-1 search engine. Maximum people use Google, so it is just 10 times more than yahoo.

    Not much, google is the one who gets me more traffic than yahoo. As most of my visits are coming from google keyword search. I think there are less people using the yahoo search engine, now-a-days.

    my new site which is only about 2 months get the majority of its organic search traffic from yahoo simply because it ranks on first page. On google page 10 or higher.
