Yahoo Or Google?
 
I'm sure you like getting good listings in both, but which traffic do you prefer and why?


I personally find that it's easier to get Yahoo listings, but the traffic doesn't appear to be as much or as good.

I had Google traffic, it was ok, now I don't have google but yahoo traffic, I find it less converting, I don't know why ... In the past I thought Yahoo was better.

Yeah, I find that it converts poorly compared to google myself.. :(

I'm not sure which is easier or which is better, but I do know that I get a lot more traffic from Google.

For the last few months, a test I was doing that used to bring a lot of google traffic changed to the point where it was almost exclusively Yahoo. There was less of it, that's for sure, but, I ended up getting the terms I was shooting for.

This morning, google came knocking, 1400 Googlebot hits, and I'm starting to see some google referrers in the logs today.

Osiris I side with your opinion too. I had more google now more yahoo. But as I get more pages up in yahoo there I`m finding the productivity to start being comparable over the range. Hard to say when the search terms are different though. I lost a few goodies when google shook up. But one of my benchmarks did way worse with yahoo traffic. One was a typo though. Maybe that means yahoo surfers are more literate as a whole?

There are definitely something to be learned in all of it!
