Another wierd Yahoo issue with spidering

Any reason why Yahoo is taking loads of my bandwidth but not ranking me for anything nor am I getting any traffic from them.

For instance Google took bandwidth of 83.74 MB last month and sent me over 5000 uniques but Yahoo took 160.27 MB bandwidth this month and sent me 48 people???

I am hoping the traffic picks up otherwise I am tempted to change my robots.txt unless I get some traffic from them.

I don't have an answer for it, but I've also noticed that Yahoo spiders my sites a lot and doesn't index them until way later. It's almost like they add to the index in batches. Kinda weird since they're usually the first SE to come spider a new site.

It depends what site Yahoo's crawling... There are similar issues on some forums regarding on your situation.
