Hi,

We have no1 rankings in yahoo, but are dropping in google after the update,
I cannot understand it!
Yahoo brings in very little traffic for this although the pages for this search term are 74,600,000
Can anyone aswer this, or do you have the same problem.

Bek.

I think you have several things to consider:

1. Just because there is some huge number of results for a given search doesn't mean that there are a lot of people searching for the term (think of a search for 'the', which brings in a huge number of results, but no one searches for 'the').

2. In my experience some areas are dominated by Google searchers, even though a website may rank equally in Y, MSN, and G for the same terms. I believe different demographics use different search engines, and this may account for your issue.
