What's up with Yahoo Search?!?!

Yea, because for the last fews days I've been getting alot more traffic from Yahooo...hope it keeps growing

 

Forget yahoo for now, but not complttely. The situation might as well change in the next few years.

 

People still use Yahoo for search?

Just optimize your site as best as you can (and then do more) for best results.

 

google is going bring a lot more traffic then yahoo.. it ranks you high on searches also

 

I completely agree.

 

30% of my organic traffic comes from yahoo.
If you have a more family, entertainment, lifestyle related site, there are more chance you get traffic for Y! if you rank decently.
Moreover, if you rank good and you have a keyword that can get in the "Today's Top search" in Yahoo home page, you can see your traffic skyroketing.
I have been there a couple of time and got up to 8000/10000 u/v while my avg is 800 LOL!.. Not gonna tell how nice is to look at your adsense account those days

 

I don't know...... maybe my virtual PR has gone us, but I'm now getting at least half the traffic of Google from Yahoo now..... 2:1 ....I hope this keeps going up

 

maybe they hired a real person instead of bots to review the newly added sites to yahoo. HAH

 

Hahaha, that is funny

You can always try to target in both spots.

 

haha......I've heard that one before too. 6 months is such a long time compared to google's 2 weeks.

 

My experience is that my Yahoo traffic is much more dependable. For a while the Google/Yahoo split was 50/50. though now I've been in google doldrums and Yahoo is the majority of my traffic 65% of 25K monthly visits.

Also the yahoo traffic is much more focused on particular keywords and my Google traffic is more of "the long tail" (I have 400K pages on my site).

 

wow that's really something. 400K pages. what niche, can we ask?

 

Google is the search engine king so expect more from them. As others have said above, Yahoo usually takes longer and doesn't bring in as much.

 

I think yahoo can't give you much traffic compare to google.

 

Yahoo index is very slow sometime compare to that of Google, continue optimizing for yahoo the traffic will come soon or later.

Moreover, It is worth to get traffic from yahoo too, no matter how small it is. Good luck

 

Yahoo slurp is always pretty busy on my new sites, but Y has added very few of the pages to it's index, let alone ranked them in the SERPs so far.

Perhaps it is because the sites are so new, but at least slurp is spidering the sites.

 

Google brings much more traffic to your websites than Yahoo. On the other hand, it is always good to optimize for both (Yahoo and Google) mainly in highly competitive fields as sometimes it is easier to get on Yahoo first page than on Google first page.
