75% Of SEOs Want Yahoo To Return To Search

yahoo search logoA couple months ago new rumors surfaced around Yahoo making a return to search.

With those rumors, we asked you guys if you think Yahoo should indeed make those efforts or give up now? With over 200 responses on our poll I wanted to tell you that the majority would like to see Yahoo return to search.

75% of you said yes, Yahoo should get back into search. Only 18% said no, they should not and 7% don't care either way.

I suspect the 75% said yes so that there would be more diversity and competition in the search space. Or maybe they hate Microsoft?

Here is the pie chart with more purple in it:
