My blog was started four months ago and now got goolge PR5 with a daily google searches of ca 150, but there are less than 5 yahoo searches. I thought google has a search market of ca 70% and yahoo ca 20%. I should get more searches from yahoo and other search engines. The search results from google is over 90% in my case. Can someone help me on this? How should I fix this problem? Thanks very much in advance!
I've never gotten much traffic from Yahoo, and even less from MSN.. i always assumed it was because nobody uses them for searching anymore, but others say they get loads of traffic from Yahoo..
It's nothing you can really fix, seems to be a pretty normal ratio. In general, my yahoo traffic is best for sites that don't perform that well in google...
I never use google to search, I guess I'm one of the old timers that got used to using yahoo and got stuck there.
I use google most of the time, but yahoo is good at finance news and stock etc. Since I still have quite a bit coverage on business, stock market, I feel it is quite strange not to have much from yahoo. Let's say this way, since google is only ca 70% of search market share. If the website/blog can be optimized to get the additional 30% search market share, the traffic should be increased by 30/70=43%!
I get probably 8000 searches from google a day, and maybe 100 from yahoo. I get more from MSN than yahoo. It doesn't make sense since MSN has far less market share. I'd love to increase yahoo, but not sure how to. Haven't really had time to optimize keywords and SEO, etc, mainly just focusing on my websites.
Google indexes more pages. That can be the reason. Why care anyway? Google is the king of all Search Engines.
Google is the best search engine on the net, there are many people who will not consider using a different search engine.
well most of my traffic are from Google. But one thing is for sure...Yahoo clicks always convert..I mean more potential cliks are from yahooo
yahoo used to give me lots of traffic. Atleast for my site Yahoo is not giving me much traffic anymore
Ideally, you can create sites really easily that rank well in Yahoo, and completely different sites for Google. In fact, they can be the exact same site, and google will ignore as a duplicate. Keyword stuff it, and it will show up well in Yahoo/MSN.
In my opnion i prefer google and get much more traffic from it than yahoo. I find it very easy to rank high in yahoo but just not so good in google!
some of my sites i get like 90% from msn and little from yahoo or google but some i get like 90% from google and little from msn or yahoo, none gets alot from yahoo not sure why..
