Connected Internet: How To Get Traffic From Yahoo And Other Search Engines?

    Perhaps the following site might be of some help:

    Myself I must say that I've never really gotten the hang of Yahoo, on my blog I rarely get any visitors through yahoo as well with just 3% of all visitors, whilst on a former site of mine and another I manage now it has always been around 20%.

    On my blog though, out of all little robots coming by on the other hand, Yahoos little pals are dropping in most frequently. Heck, can better say they're pretty much never leaving. So you'd say it should know about it, but guess they stuffed me somewhere totally in the back.

    Thanks for the link - added it to the reading list.

    I've noticed the same with Yahoo's Robots - they are constantly crawling my site, so you'd expect some results to appear. I think what is probably happening is that Yahoo don't apply the same weighting to blogs as Google do. I guess Google have a vested interest in sending traffic to blogs, as probably 70% of blogs feature Google Adsense ads.

    I get most visit from Google and only a little from Yahoo. And I use Google services because I think that them cold give me a bettere optimization.

    I have the same problem. For every 100 visitors I get from Google, I'll get maybe one from Yahoo! or MSN. I cannot for the live of me figure this out.

    We have the same problem, though I think the majority of the 'problem' is that Google probably accounts for 80% or more of (my target) searches anyway!

    Anyway for anyone else that this helps, I recently found that my .com site carries far less (if any) weight in Yahoo and MSN UK than it does in Google.co.uk (where 90% of my traffic comes from)

    Why? Because Google uses the domain extension PLUS IP location (in my case, UK) and so rates me in the UK based searches whereas the other engines only use the domain extension.

    Hi! My experience for getting traffic from Yahoo! is that you have to be extremely patient - wait about 6 weeks and the traffic should start pouring in. Unlike Google Yahoo! seems to put more emphasis on on-page SEO rather than inbound links. Same goes for MSN. Thanks, David

    oh well Y loves MONEY

    you can try to submit your site in search for 50 bucks. sure Y will reindex it more often and rank it by relevance.
    I wonder if it rank by relevance for money, how it rank when you not pay?
