    No love from Yahoo.....why not?

    Over 44,000 google hits and 120 from Yahoo, how come?

    I am on page one of google using various keywords. Using the same key words I may show up on page 14 in Yahoo.

    Yahoo sucks but still, I'm curious as to the discrepancy.

    Yahoo, as a lover, is not as attracted to forums as is Google. It's very common for Google search hits to hugely out number hits from Yahoo for almost all forum admins.

    Don't even bother with yahoo - I did and it didn't get me anywhere. I get many thousands of hits a day from google and 40, yes 40, hits a day from yahoo.

    Perhaps we should start a youTube campaign with forum admins asking "Yahoo! - Why not love for us?"

    I'm sure that would get their attention. I'm sure that we have some youTube marketing geniuses among our customers who could coordinate this effort.

    Where are you getting your stats from?

    I just took a look at Analog Stats 7 day summary:

    Requests - site

    412288973 - Gamerz Needs - For All Your Gaming Needs!
    791501 - Google
    removed
    149794 - Google

    90290 - Google
    79784 - Yahoo! Search - Web Search
    78400 - Google
    74155 - Google
    73524 - Google
    70261 - Google
    60943 - Google
    ...


    Clearly google is the dominant one since it is the most used search engine, but I would not discount yahoo as being useless.
