I run a cleaning business in the Pittsburgh area. I've spent a lot of time trying to optimize my site for terms like maid service, cleaning service, residential cleaning, commercial cleaning, and office cleaning. I rank very well for all of these terms in Yahoo, but don't appear anywhere near the first page for most of these terms in Google. Despite this fact I have had 379 organic visitors from Google this past month and a whopping 14 total from Yahoo! Many of these visitors from Google have turned into paying customers I remember how excited that I was initially when I saw how well I was ranking in Yahoo, but now realize how much of a joke that their search engine is. I know that these are small time numbers in a much smaller market than most of you are probably competing for, but the traffic that I've been getting from Google has saved my business from certain bankruptcy in the past 6 months or so and it has meant a great deal to me. I couldn't speculate on other niches but I know for sure that practically no one is using Yahoo for search in my area.

Probably Not. These days, its important to optimize for Google. There's no doubt that Google will bring in most of your traffick. As a result of being optimized for Google, I often find that you will also be optimized with Yahoo & MSN too. In fact, you will probably find yourself in Yahoo & MSN, before Google.

Its still the top site visited on the Internet and it helps to give google a little competition. Honestly search is about providing good results that dont annoy people ,Yahoo has failed at that and msn is not far behind. Thats why I just hang out and make sites and what not.

When Microsoft buys it, you'll wish you had bought stock in it because the stock price will automatically increase. Google...strong buy. Yahoo...strong buy. Everybody happy. BTW, sell Yahoo immediately after it gets it's initial surge from being bought by Microsoft. It will only go down from there. …Does Yahoo matter.
