    What's everyone's traffic experience with yahoo vs. msn?
    Side by side comparison.
    example... #2 position for #2 position for same term.

    Good stuff. Thanks. I'm trying to figure out if my crappy description in the yahoo directory is hindering referals. Our Primary kw just drop a couple of spots in yahoo so i'll have to wait to make the judgement.

    My msn and yahoo are both about 17% of my traffic

    However, content matters. There was recently a study that indicated that more people search for health and money on MSN than on the other engines. I can't remember what the study said about what was being searched for more on the others.

    My sites rank better in MSN but I still get more traffic from Yahoo. Both Yahoo and MSN seem to be back in the game, but I still get more traffic from Google than all other search engines combined.
