Something I notice about yahoo

« on: June 27, 2008, 04:04:23 PM »

I have never been a fan of yahoo because I never got much traffic from them. Here recently I have been purchasing a lot of keyword heavy domain names and my yahoo traffic has increased enough that now I value the searchers Yahoo sends my way. So this is what I've notice. Yahoo puts a lot more weight on domain names then google does. For example I have a serpentine belt diagram site, which has ranked #1 for its kewords within two weeks of putting it up. Google has not been as friendly.

i've found that in yahoo lots of our sites have shot up just by changing stuff like meta data and the title tags.. a lot more so that compared to msn or big G

Ask brings you as much as 5% Shocked

For most my sites Yahoo and Live / MSN are pretty even with perhaps 10 - 15% of traffic with others such as ask and other smaller se's accounting for less than 1%. Google is far and away the leader.
