    Thought I kick off a new thread looking at overall SE development in relation to commerce.
    Over the last 6 month I've seen a steady decline in G's dominance and below is last month from the area of "Natural Health"

    Google41.6 %Yahoo31.2 %MSN18.7 %Ask Jeeves UK2 %Alexa2 %Lycos2 %Other2 %

    This represents a shift of about 15% away from G.

    The realy interesting bit is that the conversion factors of Y & MSN are significantly higher than G's - G is still high on window shopping.

    Also we managed to bring dependance from major SE's down to just over 50%.
    Shopping channels like Froogle Y-shop A-shop Kelkoo Pangora now at 20%

    What is your experience?

    I have experienced a sudden drop in traffic coming from Google for the last 2 months.
    Although my SERPs haven't changed!! only the number of uniques did! Which led me to start thinking that google's overall traffic is getting lower.
    If this becomes a fact, haha, I don't know where to head next

    thanks disgust for sharing.

    On a more "technical" site I don't see that big of a shift as well but on "non tech" commerce oriented sites the shift is larger than the ususal fluctuations.
    Well time will tell.

    Google still account for 90%of my traffic, even though I tend to do better in MSN for my most competetive keywords

    I haven't noticed a drop from Google, apart from some drops due to sliding in the serps somewhat. Last time I looked, Yahoo was our 10th most popular search engine, after google.com, google.ca, google.it, google.fr, google.es, google.nl, google.com.au and so on!! Yahoo is VERY slow to update their index and in my opinion a pretty dud search engine at the moment as a result. MSN has produced even less visits.
