Has Yahoo traffic fallen way off the last few days?

Same good SERPs, traffic in half.

I have good SERPs positioning for my main keywords. as a result Y traffic has been
pretty good though Google usually sends more visitors.

The last few days however, Y traffic is way down even though I have the same SERPs with them.
Tuesday, for the first time ever, MSN search referred more hits than Yahoo. Usually MSN sends half the traffic Y does.

Is Y having some kind of problems? Downtime, servers, connectivity .. something technical?
I can't believe that Y suddenly lost half its user base. Anyone else? - Larry

Yes, Yahoo traffic is decreasing for my site. Few days back my site was ranking in top 3 but not its 20+. :(

Again, I'm wondering if Yahoo itself is seeing less traffic. My SERPs stayed the same, fairly good,
but Y traffic fell nearly in half for the last 5 or 6 days. I don't understand that.
If you dropped in the Y SERPS, that's a different matter entirely. -Larry

Id like to ask do people actually use Yahoo search?

After alot of unstable search results my site has finally settled into page 1 for most of its targeted KWS.

One of those is no3 out of 7 million results yet no traffic absolutely zilch.

Good question jdhuk. On my site, with slightly better ratings on Y, I previously saw 2:1 or 3:1
traffic G over Y. Suddenly that dropped to 4:1.

A better test would be site with the same or equivalent ratings/positions or both engines.

I'm still wondering if Y had some technical issue in the last week or so, something sudden
that could get fixed at any time. - Larry
