I too could easily fall into the discussion of how the pie is slized in terms on SE makret share in Denmark, but let's try to keep this thread on topic guys :)

>But there are just not so many people

Good point, however I agreed that Yahoo is not a major player, but on most sites we average at least 8-10% of total SE traffic, which ads up to a significant number of monthly visitors. Futhermore my gut feelings is that the Yahoo user base is (was) somewhat loyal and tend to convert better than some of the rouge traffic from other SE's.

I for one is very sad to see them go and have a hard time understanding that it was not profitable to run the directory. We have good insight into how much the express submission service generated in sales for them and it should be enough to cover at least a few paid editors.
Guess it was the other service areas that put them in the red.

I've worked very close with the nice folks at Yahoo for a long time and my opinions may be a bit biased ;)
