Why do I only get traffic from google and only small amounts from yahoo and live?

Sounds perfectly normal to me

All other search engines lumped together only account for 15 - 20% of the SE traffic my pages receive.

Well the answer is very obvious, more people are using google. hehe

There are some SEO methods for yahoo. If you apply them you can get lots of traffic from yahoo and the traffic will have a better quality then traffic from google

Yup agreed, I notice very little traffic from any other search engines, I saw somone say on a different forum they were getting 10,000 hits from yahoo a day !

I find that very hard to belive myself !

Woc

Many people prefer first priority is Google.
So it's definitely want only traffic Google.com.

I think thats normal, most sites experience the same as yours..simply google is most popular and most used SE!

Umm..."will have a better quality" is based on what measurement criteria?

Because Approx 60% in the world using Google so obviously most of traffic comes from Google always.

Funny you should raise this because I just put a post on one of my blogs about the importance of Yahoo traffic

Like many affiliate marketers, I tend to optimize for Google. But one of my sites is gettiing about 4 x as much traffic from Yahoo than Google

Now it's not large numbers we are talking about [just , 5000 a day from Yahoo vs just > 1000 a day from Google]

I don't know why things have worked out this way

All I can say is continue building your links

simply, you get good ranking in google. and its normal! don't worry! don't get bother?

one of my site is getting equal visitors from google and yahoo ... but still can say that a bit less then google offcourse

and vry vry few from other search engines too ... but Google is the best source

Google is #1.

Its great that you are receiving traffic from google. Its normal.

since you have videos, you should also try submitting them to youtube... I have tried this with one of my blogs and youtube is now giving me more traffic than Yahoo.

google gives more traffic than other search engine. And only google gives relevant result and gives what you need exactly.

Google traffic is the best traffic in my opinion, so I wouldn't even worry about it. Plus they are two different search engines. What works for Google won't always work for Yahoo.

Its because more and more people are using Google than Yahoo..

Hmm
same for me, one site has nothing to gain at google - for any reason. But there is still a nice traffic via Yahoo converting satisfying as well.
