    Hello,

    It would like to share my experience with Yahoo traffic that i get for my websites. It is very interesting that most of the websites that i am working (company, corporate websites), usually get more traffic from Google, but most matchmaking, funny videos, and pic websites usually receive 2 times more traffic from Yahoo.

    I can explain this for myself by Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo Mail. Most of teenagers are using YahooMail instead of Google mail and also use Yahoo Toolbar which is a part of Yahoo Messenger installation.

    My advise to everybody is to optimize entertainment niche website for Yahoo instead of Google and to do the opposite for Company , e-commerce websites.

    Blunder. Are u trying to say yahoo is better than google. Must be a coincidence or you are a yahoo staff :D

    Yahoo mail is popular bcoz Gmail started late than yahoo.

    Did you use Yahoo publisher network? Use it and then come here again. I'll be waiting for u.

    Yahoo is the second largest search engine. So you can optimize the site keeping Yahoo in mind.

    This thread is quite misleading. Google is about twice as popular as Yahoo. Yahoo may have a large number of young people within their demographics, but I really really doubt it is more than Google has in that age group.

    I think what you people are experiencing is that it is much easier to get Yahoo rankings than it is to get Google rankings. A somewhat spammy website can still get decent Yahoo rankings. It is quite difficult to get decent Google rankings for a spammy website.

    For those industries there are probably already a number of established websites that are dominating the Google rankings.

    You might work it out for your website in Yahoo... but for me... its not enough for you to conclude that it will really work out in entertainment category website. Anyway, there is nothing wrong to try it out....

    I did a trial campaign with Yahoo a while back. Spent $2500.00 and it couldn't compare to Google's traffic in any way shape or form.
