I don't get any traffic from Yahoo

A third of my website's traffic comes from Google and sometimes I get some traffic from Bing, but nothing from Yahoo? Why? Please help me understand this situation.

 

This is very unusual as I get most of my traffic from Google and Yahoo, and almost none from Bing.
Are you indexed with Yahoo? You can do a search on Yahoo search engine and see if your domain comes up.

 

Try submitting your site to Yahoo! I also find that most of my traffic is from Google , but i get far more from bing than from yahoo.

 

Is your site new? Please wait sometime and check your robots.txt

 

I think , Yahoo sends traffic to those website which are part of yahoo directory even you can get high ranking in yahoo if your site is listed in yahoo directory

 

I face the same problem. My site is indexed but it does not receive traffic from yahoo, however it receives 8000-1000 page requests from google's reference.

 

i got more traffic from yahoo rather then bing and google

 

Hey guys thanks for all your answers:

@gordon08; @Snake Blisken: I've submitted my websites a bunch of times and I do appear for my domain name but still nothing.

@txf: My website is about 2 months old. How much more can I wait?

@tulip4heaven: I'm not on Yahoo's directory and I'm not willing to pay more than $100 to get a few visitors from them.

@adstiger: What do we do then?

@wildogre: Did you do anything different to get that traffic?

 

Yahoo can take some time and it may take a year or more before Yahoo ranks you. A lot depends upon your keywords and competition.

 

I have a site on-line since 2002 and get traffic from Google and Bing but almost nothing from Yahoo!

My is indexed in Google and Yahoo! for several years now.

 

Yahoo has different algorithms than Google, just have to play around with it and find the best ways to rank! Good luck, SEO is tough!

 

Yahoo usually takes more time to index sites. Try submiting your site to yahoo directory

 

Most of the traffic comes from Google because Google has Big market share in search engines. Sometimes it is also possible that your keyword has very little searches at yahoo and only top website get benefit from it.

The reasons for very little traffic from Yahoo could be
a) Most Yahoo searchers are not finding your site within the first few slots.
b) You havent submitted sitemap to Yahoo so you are not indexed. (Yahoo can give you indexing even if you didnt submit sitemap)

 

yup dont worry about yahoo. just optimize for google.

 

I get a bit from Yahoo and a bit from Bing and a lot from Google

I find Yahoo is easy to rank in.

 

Generally yahoo consider quality content with keywords. So better you need to improve quality of your content with keyword to get indexed by yahoo.

 

I'm going to submit a sitemap to Yahoo to see if it works.

 

I used to get traffic from all three and it is as follows;
google ; 157
bing ; 22
yahoo ; 9
why that much difference is there I don't understand.

 

I will take some time even if you submit a sitemap. Check how your site is doing in "Yahoo Site Explorer" tool.
