From October 2005 to January 2006, I experienced a huge raise in traffic from Yahoo (more then 300000 lakh visits per month for a semi-large site) although google traffic dropped to 500 unique visitors only.
Yahoo traffic was coming to www.domain.com/forums/ which was wrong for a sub-domain
I corrected this issue somewhere in end of February 2006, 301 redirecting the /forums/ to appropriate subdomain, last month I found google traffic was backup with more then 3000000 unique visits :-)
uptil last month yahoo traffic was gone down completely with only less then 500 visitors.
Now since last few days, I have found yahoo slurp spider actively indexing the subdomains and a slight increase in yahoo traffic as well.
I would request some suggestions to gain back my yahoo traffic and keep both google+yahoo sending me unique visitors.
Thanks.
After that, it's just working on building up the quality of the sub's over time, and marketing them in the best ways you know how.
anyway its good its back :)
