    Just about 80% of the traffic and (Bing/Yahoo) about 15% and all the other SE's together 5%

    That adds up to 100%

    google has complete monopoly on search/Adsense/Adwords..

    They are the Internets God/Goddess..

    Depends on your search ranking.. I am getting over 25,000+ visitors daily just from Google.

    it all depends on the search term and where you rank
    80% of search traffic is generated from google, so people tend to focus their seo efforts there

    All factors being equal (rank for particular search term on each search engine), in my experience I've received over 75% of my organic search traffic from big G! The fact of the matter is, Google dominates the minds of users...it's not a word in the Oxford dictionary or summin'. Keep that in mind. You no longer "search," you "Google" something.

    It depends on your SEO
    I would say about 60~80% SE traffic from google

    To clarify, 80% of search traffic comes from Google.

    A well-designed campaign should not depend on search alone for traffic generation. When trying to quantify the value of a link from a search engine, you do need to value non-search traffic before over-valuing search traffic.

    Also, search traffic can be fickle, especially Google search traffic since the advent of Caffeine.

    Did it go up? All other sources suggest Google gets around 65% of the searches. Regardless, it gets the most.

    And if you're high on google rank, then you're probably high on other search engines too.

    But the answer to more important guestion "How much worth is there in a Google Link?" can vary extremely much, it depends wholly on how high you are ranked AND how many searches your terms get in a day, and there's some tools around that help to find out those numbers, like https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal .

    Although some sites get almost all of their traffic from google, there's also many big sites that only get small part of traffic directly from search engines.
