Most consider this to be the #1 source of traffic but many are not doing well with a Yahoo listing. Is Yahoo yahoo! or boohoo for you? How does it compare with the rest of the engines? Is your traffic off of keyword search than click on your site (appearing as search.yahoo.com in referral logs) or do visitors go to the category your site is listed in first then click on your site (dir.yahoo.com in logs)?

I'll go first: Yahoo is the largest for me and gives about 40% more traffic than MSN (2nd) for similar positioning. Only about 1% go to the directory first and click. Main keyword is non-competitive and site shows up #2 in a keyword search. Straight Google is next followed closely by Alta, all with similar positioning. GoogleHoo is fourth with about half as much traffic as AltaVista.
