[mrrobertstv]

Nothing has changed with my search engine stats

I've noticed a gradual increase on Yahoo traffic as well as our rankings moving up to the first two pages in the past month.

The pages that are moving up haven't really been changed that much at all as far as SEO is concerned either. I thought is was just us here but maybe not.

Perhaps Yahoo is doing some changes as well?

my traffic from Yahoo search had quadrupled my Google search traffic.

You've got a damn good website which is very easy to use and you deserve credit for...
Yahoo sees that......Google doesn't!

Yahoo's catching up on Google big time and they don't even see it!

POWER TO YAHOO I SAY!

I'm perplexed as to what makes Yahoo tick. My most recent web documentary http://www.organtransplants.org was a Yahoo Pick, is in the Yahoo directory and ranks in the top 10 or 15 on Google for key terms like organ donation or organ transplants. However, it's barely on the radar of Yahoo search. Any suggestions.

Yahoo has gradually been getting better, but is still abysmal. The most recent ratios:

Google 4025
Yahoo 270
MSN Search 125
AOL Search 65
Google.fr 62
AltaVista 16
AllTheWeb 7
Teoma 5
iWon 2
Overture 2
Lycos 1
ixQuick 1
Excite 1

I have also been observing that there is an overall growth of about 10% - 15% over last 2 weeks... Largely from Yahoo and on those keywords where positioing on Googlr is bad...

Hi,

I run a 200 page website that has been around for many years and was very well ranked for all it's keywords. Then it was offline for about 6 months and all but fell out of all the search engines rankings specifically Yahoo and Google.

Well, I got the site back up a little over a month ago. Heres the scenario -

Google is still the highest referring SE but the website doesn't even show up for its main keyword. I get a lot of traffic through related keywords appearing in the page content.

Yahoo, within 15 days I had regained my old ranking position on Yahoo for the main keyword which is at the bottom of page 1. But the traffic is still almost half of Google's.

I have no directory listing, no page rank or link backs anymore...well very few anyway...

I think Yahoo's getting bigger and faster than Google and very soon, unless...

Google's got something discreetly stuck up up it's sleeve as it usually does. Also, Google used to be a good friend and I haven't given up hope on it.

I have experienced some weeks after Yahoo dropped Google that all my main sites with Google PR5 and heavy traffic dropped out of Yahoo, but to my surprise some of my secondary sites with no much traffic and hardly any links to it, not maximised for keywords now achieved first 10 placements in Yahoo. To me it looks like that Yahoo randomly picked some sites regardless popularity .

"Curious, I recently viewed my web stats & to my astonishment my traffic from Yahoo search had quadrupled my Google search traffic."

Hi Maximilian,

We have a small crystal shop and have been trying to succeed with Google and Yahoo for years. While Google keeps sending us trafic through less important keywords, we've experienced an unexpected increase from Yahoo in the last few weeks on both "difficult" and less frequented keywords. We have been optimizing (in our view) equally well for both, but it seemed as if Yahoo has suddenly decided that we are "for real".

Until I saw your post, I thought we have finally figured it out, but now I see that it's probably caused by some recent change of policies. Well, no complaint, I just like to know what it was that we did so well :-)

Thanks for the post!
