Yesterday was the first day I have ever noticed Yahoo sending more traffic then google. This is hits to my main page but usually yahoo is about 1/2 of what google is and today it is slightly over google.
The good news is google traffic was up also so it was not like I got killed in the dance and now yahoo was behind and still sending.
Anyone else seeing this?

A few options:

1. Your site did well in the Google update and is higher up in Yahoo due to the absence of indented listings.
2. With the new search, Yahoo got a lot of press and it may have increased the number of users.
3. Is your site in the Yahoo directory? If so, the category where it's listed may have been displayed in the SERP's sending you traffic through the directory.
