Thread: Yahoo almost as big as Google?

From my site referers, I always thought that yahoo was much smaller in the search field. I'd get 90% of my search traffic from google, 5% from MSN and 4% from Yahoo.

I was just reading today that Yahoo has 31% of the search Market, and Google has 36%... So, clearly, Yahoo is bringing somone a lot of traffic... and it should be almost as much as Google.

So the question is, do other people see results like this? I've already looked at Yahoo specific optimizations and have incorporated them long ago. What is the big differentiator in getting good results in Yahoo?

Yahoo prefer new posted contents always.

Not really actually its popularity is swindling downwards

For an older generation, and those concerned more with the style and ambience of their search atmosphere, Yahoo really is the granddaddy of search engines. Temporally this is true as well. Yahoo was in its hayday well before Google was much of an active player. Yahoo is still a HUGE player in the market, but the market itself has grown exponentially and Google has overtaken not only its own place, but a bountiful share that other SE's just cant touch. Its capitolist evolution and certainly nothing new, what was oil, steel and railroads is now Search Engines and Operating Systems.

That number you quote is traffic on Yahoo's site, not search traffic.

Yes, I think dvduval is right. Because I don't think Yahoo is even anywhere near Google.
