I am getting more than a dozen visits from Google and Yahoo search every day.
But I am not getting visits from Lycos and Altavista.
I wonder why Lycos and Altavista aren't sending visitors.
Can anybody help me solve this problem?
I did get one hit from altavista on my hub about golden parachutes. I thought it was pretty random. I really think that altavista has long since dropped from being a major contender in the search engine field, and that's why the hits are so few and far between.
That's because everyone is on google and yahoo. I don't personally know anyone these days who doesn't primarily use those two.
That will be because no hardly uses those engines :I find for every 100 google vistiors I might get 10 from yahoo 1 from msn and 0.1 from altavista
I don't think that no one uses them.
They are in business for so many years.
They have nice websites.
They look good.
But still don't send visitors

When I post my hubs....I register them with Google, Yahoo, and Bing....but only Google actually puts them in the search results...very quickly I might add......Bing and Yahoo pretty much act like my hubs do not exist....any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have been getting a decent amount of traffic from google but I recieve very little traffic from yahoo and the other search engines. I used to own a website with the same problem. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, or if this is normal?

IF it works, I'll let everyone know the technique I used.I know it...

I get a lot of traffic from the Search Engines and I see a lot of people asking how do I get listed in the search engines. The answer to that is simple I tell them. Yes I know the myth that you should let the search engines find you but I never have. One of my favorite sayings is " If you...
