For me it's always been Google. Except maybe for a 2-3 month time period where Yahoo! just loved me long time.
Google is the best for us as well. This is obvious for the reason that most people are using it as their main search engine now. I know that I added them as my only search engine on my home computer. Their results are more relevant for my needs.
On My Newly opened Msn Forums: - MSN 10 - Google 5 - Yahoo 2 And on my personal site: - MSN 184 - Google 75 - Google (Images) 29 - Yahoo 3 - AOL 2 - InfoSpace 1
I get the most from MSN, but I think most new sites get that as well. G hits come hardcore for established sites.
Without taking adwords into account, most of my traffic by way of search engines comes from MSN, and then Yahoo, and then Google.
Most of my traffic now comes from MSN. I had a timely site where I was getting traffic from Google, which was quite nice. But Google has me rather frustrated, now - it's too hard to get listed high, even when your site is at least as relevant as many above you in the SERPs.
Google always a good bet.. yahoo is the second most popular keyword search engine.. MSN search may also provide a result if the other two don't work.. Exalead is an excellent choice...
