Everybody uses Google?

    Looking through my web logs, I find that the search engines break down with google taking almost all of the organic search traffic, then yahoo, then MSN.

    e.g.
    Google 1200
    Yahoo 60
    msn / organic 7
    live / organic 6

    On sites where I employ 'SEO-style' techniques (trying to manipulate the search engines), Yahoo + MSN SERPs and traffic goes up. But yahoo is still a sixth of the traffic of Google, and MSN is still virtually nothing.

    Anybody seeing this too? IMO it makes no sense to even bother with MSN.. it is a joke.

    I noticed that too. when traffic was low, I actually obtained more of the msn/live traffic than google ones. but google is much improved when traffic picks up.

    65% of people use Google
    25% of people use Yahoo
    8% of people use MSN

    It depends on the keywords you rank for. I get very good Yahoo traffic for some of my sites and virtually none for others.

    Always build your site with Google in mind. Yahoo and MSN traffic should be and are "bonuses".

    Also, never base who uses what search engine off of your websites traffic. You'll rarely find accurate results.

    I really wish Yahoo and MSN get a bigger share, because Google is getting way too big and they have started doing whatever they like, whenevery they like it.

    More competition is better for everyone.

    If you are getting 32% of your traffic from Yahoo and MSN then I suspect you are using some of the more search engine manipulating SEO techniques. e.g. hey let's point a whole bunch of links at my site with the same anchor text.

    It is a known fact that google has become synonymous with search and most of the people hardly go past it to look for any other alternatives....

    No wonder, majority of the members here are heavily focused on PRs and google serps.. :rolleyes:
