Traffic from Google, but not much from YAHOO and BING - GoFuckYourself.com

Clean_Franck · 01-13-2010, 10:15 AM

For a long time on a site of mine I have got good steady traffic from Google, but almost none, very little from competitiors Yahoo and BING/MSN. Less than 10% . I would expect to get 10/15%, but it is more like 1-5%.

Do you have any tips/advice to get traffic from these sources?

I think 10-15% with the others SE's is too much to expect really nowadays unless it's a really small niche. Most of my sites are 5% or less actually, down from 15% 2 years ago.

I assumed it was because most people were using google. I really believe the yahoo/msn traffic is more valuable because they are primarily used by the internet unsavy(is this a word?) I would also like to know from others if this is the norm now.

yahoo and bing uses the same algo now, if i am right, so you have to worry about one of them. and getting traffic from there is same as from google, try by yourself what works best for your skills
