Wow, it seems that Yahoo, for the first time gives me more traffic than Google! This is stats from my Singapore business directory. Finally it overtakes Google for driving traffic to my directory. But MSN is still not doing well for me. I believe Microsoft don’t like me much because I always make fun of them. At least I know quite a lot of Singaporeans are using Yahoo as their main Search Engine. Hopefully anyway. With Google being so big and mean now, it could all change in an instant so it’s better to be prepared. I will continue to monitor this till the end of the month and see what has to be done. Maybe I will do even more optimization for Yahoo than for Google and see what’s the outcome.
From what I can see, the problem is with the supplementals. I have a lot of pages being shaft into Google’s Supplemental hell and these don’t rank at all (or rank poorly). Thus, they hardly appear during searches. With this, people don’t visit my little business directory from Google. So screw you, Google! I am loving Yahoo.
Good to see you’re winning with Yahoo! Yaaaaahooooo!!! Nice to not have one’s eggs all in one basket. What about optimizing a bit for MSN then? Think it might be possible to end up with an even spread amongst the three?
Yes! Going to read up more about MSN and what to do. It is surprising that there are very few articles on optimizing for MSN and I hope they don’t conflict with others.
Heres a good tip, Msn love html based pages, why dont you create a few basic html and re-submit to MSN.
My directory script don’t seem to be able to do that. And I sort of use the smarty template kind of thing, so it ends with .php. And if I just use plain html, I don’t know how to get my current template into my page.
