Vast differences between SEs

Google loves me, Yahoo and MSN hate me

I rank very high in Google, and they have 49,000 pages indexed, I get 11,000 referrals a month from Google and everything is great, however, with Yahoo and MSN, I get a total of less than 1,000. Yahoo also only has 14,000 indexed.

I'm very confused. I'm not doing anything blackhat, have great, updating content, yet can't get Y to send me any traffic.

Can someone offer a suggestion?

(sorry if this is in the wrong forum, or if this has been addressed before. I couldn't find any recent threads about this, and most of them discussed changes in Y's algo.)

Thanks a lot.

The difference you mentioned between Yahoo and Google are not un-common. What we need to remember is Google give us more traffic because they recive more traffic. The difference between Google and the other main search engines is still vast.

Just count yourself lucky that you do not have the opposite problem.

Some of the more experienced SEO-ers here might know better, but it's my experience that Yahoo is one of the few SEs that really pays attention to meta-keywords. If you're lacking in that area, or if you didn't even bother to use that tag, as a lot of people are now leaning towards, then maybe you could get better results in Yahoo by tossing in some keywords in the meta tag. Couldn't hurt anyway.
