IE more than, or comparable to what Google sends?

No way, not even close. Its sad because I remember when a top listing on Yahoo meant you could make it big overnight.

was a time when Yahoo was the dogs bollocks and Google was a sprite sperm waiting to shoot itself down to the information highway :)

Got 2 sites that do well for the same keyphrase (near enough as to be almost the same), G sends 2k a day, Y sends about 100.

Reason I asked is, we get a lot of SE traffic on BnB, but by far and away the lions share is from google, like easily 90%+. Nothing especially strange in that, but what's bugging me is that yahoos slurp spider is on here constantly, from tons of ip addys, crawling away 24/7... I'd say that at any one time there's at least 20 instances of yahoos spider here having a sniff.

With the traffic from yahoo being so minimal, and for obscure KW's to boot, anyone know much about optimising a forum for yahoo? Im half minded just to block the spider cos it skews the "who's online" quite a bit and generally annoys me :character0072:

I need all of the above traffic from all the search Engines.

My blogs only get 10% search Engine traffic here's one of my blogs http://www.milfme.info any SEO advice for a guy who's just trying to get his food in the door?

advice for a guy who's just trying to get his food in the door?

Basically, cut it into smaller pieces if eg you are trying to post a chicken. Pizza - thin, but too large in diameter for most, so post in slices. Not sure if you are thinking about dairy stuff, but if doing milk, get cartons not bottle; reason being, you can lift each corner flap and sort of squash it a bit - this is usually enough to get it through all but the smallest of letterboxes ;)

ps any more of what we spoke about in PM yesterday? Let me know :)
