Keyword Tracker lists both Yahoo & Bing rank but Yahoo outsourced its results to Bing

    The Keyword Tracker lists both Yahoo & Bing ranks but Yahoo outsourced its search results to Bing. When I go to Yahoo I get the exact same results as I do at Bing.com. I assume the Yahoo results in Keyword Tracker are from the Yahoo API. Do any web sites still show Yahoo results and thus I should care what my Yahoo rank is?

    While Yahoo outsourced their results sto Bing, it does seem there is some variation... so maybe they are applying their own algorithms or filters to the Bing results.

    But to be completely honest, I'm not sure it's really worth the time worrying about any search engine other than Google these days.

    For digitalpoint.com, Google brings 92.5% of ALL search traffic (and Yahoo/Bing aren't even #2)...
