Do You Yahoo?
I was doing some research on Yahoo yesterday and it got me thinking does anyone really use yahoo that seriously for business?
I have 2 of my own sites that rank really well on Yahoo for terms that convert well on Google yet I recall 1 conversion in say the last 2 years that came from Yahoo.
I know the stats will say 7% of UK search traffic is going through Yahoo but does it really convert well for business? I would answer my own question with a “no it doesn’t”
I think the more popular belief that if you want to get good traffic to your business then you need to be ranked well in Google is very much true.
I would like to note that I believe that there must be businesses out there doing very well out of Yahoo I just don’t happen to operate in those sectors I guess!
But if you do please let me know because id love to prove that business online is just coming down to your Google position as that would put us in a very vulnerable position.

Hi
I don’t yahoo. I am the same as you, most if not nearly all my traffic comes from Google. Even if I rank well in both engines for the same keyword phrase it is Google that does me all my favours.
Good discussion point.
