Does Yahoo Still Matter?

I use Google Analytics to log visits to Poker Copilot. Amongst the many statistics it offers is "Visits via Search Engines":


Poker Copilot ranks pretty much the same in both Google's and Yahoo's search results. But Google supplies me with 47 times more visitors than Yahoo.

I thought Yahoo would still have, I don't know, let's say 10% of the search market. But the actual number, according to my stats, is miniscule. The other way to look at it is that Google now completely, utterly dominates search, at least based on my small sample space.

Yawhoooo? It looks like you're combining organic and cpc (assuming you run adwords)? For organic, yahoo accounts for about 10% of my hits. I'd give you the cpc percentages, but I don't even bother to advertise on Yahoo.

These are the stats for the past 12 months for the Monash BI Blog:

google 96%
yahoo 2%
search 1%
aol 1%
msn 0%
altavista 0%
seznam 0%
ask 0%
live 0%
netscape 0%

The 0% are rounding errors - represent about 1 or 2 hits. I'm surprised by the MSN number since that's the default IE search tool, no?
