Traffic from yahoo search engine?

I've had my site live for a few weeks now, by using the seo plugin from seo quake in firefox it says my site has 86 links in yahoo, 1 page indexed and i havent had a single bit of traffic from them.

In the past i used to have problems with google traffic but this time around i only am getting it from google, msn has also only got 1 indexed page and showing no links which in turn is giving no traffic.

Do i just have to wait or is there anything that can speed this process up?

Thanks

 

Possibly, but you should have done the necessary keyword research, i.e. you should be aware of the amount of times people are searching for the keyword term you decided to optimise your site under. You should also check yahoos search engine to see where your position is, you could be listed on the 10th page and that could be one of the reasons you’re not receiving much traffic from yahoo, as a general rule you should always multiply yahoos estimated traffic by at least 2 to gauge how much traffic you’ll draw from Google.

That fact that you’re receiving traffic from Google and not yahoo could simply be because Google has your site listed higher up on whatever search term you have your site under

 

I've never had any success trying to rank in Yahoo. I rank number #1 in google for some pretty good keywords, but Yahoo still sticks me way down in the SERPs for the exact same keywords. I think Yahoo is more concerned with age of domain than anything.

All in all, I wouldn't even worry about Yahoo though - Google is the main SE you should be trying to rank in.

 

cheers for the input guys, ill just concentrate on google and hope the rest will follow soon

 

Yea in mine too i have 400 pages index in google and only 1 in yahoo and msn i dont know wats the problem of these search engines

Having one page indexed won't get you much traffic at all. Yahoo has a much smaller market share compared to Google.

 

thats the thing though, they wont follow any more of my pages ill just wait and hope they will soon as one of my sites go a fair bit of traffic from msn in a similar niche.

 

Wait And Watch...

 

thats what im going to do, let nature take its course and ill just update with content etc

 

I agree. Yahoo after a year since my forum launch does not yield any seo results for me. Only when you type in the domain name something happens.

But i certainly hope this will change over time.

Me too.
I don't have traffic from yahoo.
So far i am waitting for 3 month

 

Yahoo traffic for me is pretty bleak. Unless you are listed in their directory.

 

I get pretty good traffic from Yahoo on my automotive forums. Probably 1/3 of my search engine traffic comes from Yahoo while the rest being mostly from Google. If you're able to do so, I would recommend summiting a sitemap to both Yahoo and Google, it works wonders for getting your pages indexed. Having search engine friendly pages also helps too.

 

Most of my traffic comes from Google, although I do get trickles here and there from Yahoo.

 

yahoo is slow on indexing pages.

 

I guess you have to wait for a longer time,just keep post nice article and make yahoo index more pages of your site.

 

How do you get yahoo index more pages?
