Yahoo Search Volume

Have any of you noticed in the past 2 weeks that Yahoo has lost search volume?

A few of my clients have dropped from about 20% Yahoo to now about 12% search volume. Our SERP's are still in same spots in top 5 for hundreds of terms, but overall search volume seems to have reduced about 40%, while Google increased.

Did Yahoo lose some search partners and I missed the articles?

I wouldn't worry about that. Mainly because yahoo is not a search engine, but a searchable directory powered by Inktomi. That's where you should probably look for your answer.

Yahoo's going through some major reorg too. If People start to think Yahoo is going to be making major changes they might start to jump ship.

I don't know if Yahoo is losing search volume, but I'm sure getting a spike in Yahoo visitors today.

I've also noticed that, traffics coming from yahoo dropped. Hope to see some news about yahoo activities.

Is there a site where you can track their volume?

My yahoo referrals have dropped this month as well, but my rankings are the same.

I remember hearing something about one of their search partners switching to Google I think...
