Hey all, I guess you already know I am new to all of this. I was wondering if the percentages of traffic from each search engine that I get is close to your results. See anything weird with mine? I know I hardly get any image hits. I have alt tags on all of my images, but I don't know. Anything I could do to bump the numbers up with other search engines (other than google that is)? All advice is really appreciated. % of traffic from each search engine in January: google- 84.6% yahoo- 6.7% aol- 2.2% google images- 1.8% MSN- 2.3% other- 2.4% See anything unusual? Thanks!!
It all depends on the age of your website and how many pages you have, then looking at how much traffic you get a day, this hasnt been told but that does look the norm for a website, I take it looking at that the website in question isnt a new website
Its very common to see the majority of traffic coming from google - which makes sense since they, themselves, have the most traffic.
The site is about 3-4 weeks old. I don't remember. Only 70 pages or so indexed. Only about 200 organic traffic a day. These percentages look pretty normal? Thanks.

But, they need some time. Give it 11 more months my friend, and you will rule the "crawfish" keyword.. Patience!!!! I know your anxious.. Trust me on this one! PAy for another 2 years domain registration, and put icra tags (www.icra.org) metas on your site, and your traffic from Y will be close to your G traffic! (In time)!
lol Thanks pal! Man, I just have no patience really. I feel like I am working for nothing here. Folks keep telling me to not worry about it, and then it will happen over time. I have also seen a few other folks take a brand new site from nothing to HUGE in no time. I wish I could do that. I will pay for 2 more years tonight. Someone else mentioned that. Never heard of this icra tags. Gonna check that link out. Thank you for that 1.
If you were doing a financial site, you'd see a huge increase in the yahoo stats. If you had a site about parenting or school issues, you'd see a higher number from msn and aol. So it depends. Certain target markets have a tendency to use one search engine more than another.
