I noticed that recently I got more visit from Yahoo and it keep increase day by day even going to surpass Google which previously dominate my source of visitors. The big jump is actually happen this month, April when I checked from the web analytic. See the statistics:

April (until 21st)

Total Monthly Visits from Google/Yahoo/MSN/Live

Based on this week statistic, Yahoo already surpass Google. I just wondering, is Yahoo implement new search algorithm, more people are now using Yahoo or I successfully did the SEO for my websites.

However MSN/Live still suck.

Anyone noticed this as well?

This is a nice concise list of 25 ways to greatly increase your blog’s traffic and search rankings.

1. Content is king!
2. Submit your site to as many search engines as possible. After the initial indexing I would recommend resubmitting every 6 months.
3. Comment on as many blogs as possible. Make your comments thoughtful and not spammy.
4. Link up with popular blogs - trackbacks can be good for SEO as well as your traffic.
5. Write a good article and post it on a site like http://www.digg.com, although this won’t help as far as traffic goes (you will get a HUGE boost for a few hours, then it will tone back down, you probably won’t get any permanent readers from Digg) and it sure doesn’t help with your relationship with your web host, it can create some new inbound links.
6. Use http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ . Instead of the GoogleBot searching for your pages you can tell it where your pages are. This is a great way to get your whole site indexed.
