I have my site ranked in similar terms in both Yahoo and Google. This site ranked #1 in Yahoo while ranking #4 in Google. But I got only 1/4 come from Yahoo in that keyword compared to Google. I hope Yahoo may have some potential but that's bad. Ranking #1 in Yahoo almost help me nothing.
Totally agreed I got only 1/10 compared to #5 in Google when one of my site was ranking #1 in MSN. But that site is not ranking in MSN for now.
i'm getting more search traffic from yahoo than google for my new software discount site. i love yahoo! for now
It's good you got a good ranking in yahoo but the fact is today 80 to 85% users preferred to used google and 10% people preferred yahoo and 5% used MSN Live. Thus keyword result in google.com give your site more potential visitors compared to yahoo, msn.
You're confusing quantity of traffic to quality here. I won't bother with the specifics, you can do a search on DP and see for yourself. Many webmasters, including myself find that Yahoo traffic converts better than Google traffic does. Obviously if the traffic is a joke to you, block all Yahoo users from your site. Problem solved.
Hi mate, I know you're Yahoo fans and you had written about SEO for Yahoo. I also read it and That's a good read but this is a public forums, which everyone can have their own opinion. I see Yahoo traffics is a little compared to Google for ranking in similar keyword so what is a joke? That's just a fact. Some site I got much traffics from Yahoo, some site from Google and that's a common things. The only problem I've seen is your own attitude toward people who aren't Yahoo fans like you. I don't know if traffics from Yahoo convert more than Google or not because I cannot track it. You think Yahoo is a great one, I think is a fairly one. That's all.
If get position on the google first page may be #10 and yahoo#1, google will bring more traffic. any how at least can compare between those. But in the case of MSN totally waste nothing giving...cant compare MSN with the both yahoo and google...
Yahoo is the second biggest engine, don´t say it´s worth nothing. It´s strange to be ranked lower in Google than in Yahoo. All my blogs and sites rank higher in Google all the time. Have worked your Webmaster Tools correctly? Maybe Google is having trouble indexing your site correctly!
