Google has always been the search engine driving the most traffic to my lenses.
But somehow, this is changing from time to time.
Take this lens: Brain Teaser Games. It just appeared as the 10th result (page 1) for the term "Brain Teaser Games" in Yahoo!.
This immediately drove 130 new visitors to the lens today. That's nice.
Now how does this happen?
In Google, there are 250 000 sites for that search term. In Yahoo! there are more than 11 million. You'd think one would rank higher @ Google, since there is less competition.
This only show that competition is not a real measure for how hard it is to get a good spot.
And don't neglect the other search engines, Google isn't the only one driving traffic to places.

So true! I have a MySpace Music Codes lens that Google just ignores...but Yahoo! LOVES. Out of 73 million+ results on Yahoo! for 'music player codes for myspace", this lens is #1. Go to Google and check same keyword and its no where..and there are only a little over ONE million results.
Go figure.
Not complaining tho... Yahoo! sends me PLENTY of traffic. =)
