Decrease in traffic

since overture was added...

[2_much]

I was comparing traffics for sites that have been ranking well consistently and noticed:

1. there has been a decline in traffic for top ranking sites in yahoo (to be expected)
2. google traffic has increased, but traffic from yahoo for sites ranking for the same keyword is still higher than google
3. people seem to be using alternative methods to find our sites (within the yahoo directory), such as the members area

Also, I've noticed that lately it's getting easier and easier to get into the directory (good time to submit sites you weren't so sure about in the past).

Yet since they've added that renewal fee, I'm being much more careful with submissions and focusing more on ROI.

Any other experiences with the changes we've seen in Yahoo during the last couple of months?

I've not seen a decline since Goto was added. Ours came when they started monkeying with results last fall (oct).
