Dear friend, Which search engine you would likely to use? Other than Google Bing? Yahoo? Altavista? AOL? Gigablast or Looksmart etc.
Well i stick to google, but based on the incoming keywords and search engines, besides the big three, Ask.com sends quite a good amount of traffic.
Well since you mentioned 'shocking' i just referred back to my stats. yep ask.com does indeed send good traffic. Infact ranks 4th after the big 3 for english related keywords.
for my experience, GOOGLE bring me 90% of the traffic, while other bring me 10% only. I not much idea how to get traffic from other search engine. Any one have this experience before?
I also use Bing from time to time. While Google is and will remain the most popular/powerful search engine for a long time, people shouldn't underestimate Bing. It's market share is constantly increasing and it wouldn't surprise me if they'll get on the same level as Google in a few years.
Goggle is used worldwide therefore after google i cant say anything except yahoo....but it all depends on your requirement and what you think is rite for you
