How the heck do you get traffic from Yahoo?
I'm been looking over my statistics for a long time and I've never received one visitor from Yahoo. I gets hundreds of visitors to my directory from Google but Yahoo seems to be at a dead end. Are there any secrets to optimizing your website for Yahoo?

There are no secrets. Google is more dynamic, and better, and more people use it. Yahoo somehow seems a little biased towards older domains.
I receive most of my traffic via Google, and only a minuscule amount via Yahoo or MSN. IMO, concentrate on adding content, and make sure Googlebot LOVES your site. Thats what I do, and I am satisfied.

Well, you can use different tools for that. You can install google analytics, awstats, statcounter and other related-stuff for you to view those traffic-related information.

gregdavidson,
Yahoo search engine is not popular in many countries. To get more traffic from yahoo it is important country, keyword density, keyword proximity, frequency and location.
