I look at traffic from Yahoo as bonus now. It's now about the same as Bing for my sites.

Tips to increase traffic from yahoo...
1. Selecting your domain name is the most vital step in getting a top ranking in Yahoo! and also other directories like Dmoz and Looksmart.
2. Sites which are placed higher in directory structure are given more relevance than sites which are placed lower or deeper.
3. Yahoo! considers keywords in the directory structure while ranking.
4. Yahoo! DOES NOT spider websites to determine ranking. It ranks web sites based on keywords in domain name, title and description. So having META tags does not make any difference to your listing.
5. DO NOT try to stuff as much keywords as possible in to the description. Yahoo! editors are notorious for cutting down the description if they sense even slightest hype. Try to avoid words such as - no.1, proven, turnkey, exciting etc.
6. Make sure your domain name and business name is the same since Yahoo! is known to use the business name as the title for your listing.
7. Make sure your website is "Content Rich". This is very critical for two reasons. One - to get your site accepted by Yahoo! and Second - to maintain and get a higher listing.
8. Before submitting your website, thoroughly research websites that rank higher for keywords you are targeting. This will give you a rough idea of what to and what not to include in your website.

It is not important from where you are getting traffic. The main thing is SERP and traffic.

I get about 10-15% of my traffic from yahoo, and around 20% Bing, MSN, Facebook and Twitter and rest all my traffic come from Google only.

For me,Yahoo traffic is substantially less than Google but the quality or potential of visitors to buy is quite higher in Yahoo than in Google, at least in my sector. In other words, success in sales per inquiry in Yahoo is better than Google.

I am also getting very low traffic from yahoo. It's only about 5% of my total traffic; most of traffic for my website is coming from Google only.

I believe a majority of webmasters get traffic from Google. There are no two ways about it. I myself get more than 70% traffic from Google.
