The new Yahoo! Trick

7,987.

That’s the number.

Of what, you say?

That’s the number of times I was visited by the most prolific User-Agent (the string that identifies useful information about a site visitor, such as browser and Operating System version) to this site during the month of March.

Yahoo!

Remember the day that you couldn’t get Yahoo! to sneeze in your direction without coughing up $300. Yeah, those days. The days before the “Google Gyration” (the effect the monthly “Google Dance” had on site owners). Now Yahoo! has taken over top dog in that category. The Google number came in a distant second at 2,404 visits.

My, how the world has changed.

The smaller fish always get eaten by the bigger fish. Then, if we are to believe in the power of Darwin’s evolution theory (inserted to cause grief and frustration among pro-evolutionists) The digested smaller guy is “released” back into the world and transforms itself from bodily waste to heavy handed competition! I.E. Bigger fish.

Follow that one? LOL Just a half baked theory ;)

Yahoo doesn’t come close to Google when it’s about spidering my site. Of my daily spider visits arround 70% is from Google, the other 30% is divdided between Yahoo, MSN, Gigablast, Baidu and Wisenut.
