Interesting... It appears your Yahoo! traffic has nearly doubled today. For the sum total of my Search Engine traffic in the past two weeks, MSN continues to generate most of my incoming visits totaling 39% as of today. Since my SERPs have improved mostly during the past week, Google now delivers approximately 33% of my visits which is up from their 3rd place postion of 24% just a week ago. Yahoo! has continued to generate a steady 26% all along. I'm not sure what the SE market share between the major three will be for November but my visit count is about 84% pre-google update and at that time Google generated a full 57% of my visitors so something has definately shifted here most notible MSN incoming... Anyone else notice this kind of transition..? Looking forward to the new SE% share numbers this week.
The last SearchEngine Market Share survey (August 2005 by source: ComScore Networks Link: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=171202724 ) reported SE% share as Google: 37.3% Yahoo: 29.7% MSN: 15.8% Time Warner Network 9.6% and Ask Jeeves 6.0% If anyone has other numbers from other sources can you share them with us please..?
what is the time warner network? is it aol? is msn going to buy them? That would almsot double their market share without even having to improve their spamtastic engine. Right now for some of my terms there is one blog spammer holding down like 1-9 top postions, all rediecting to the same site. I like to spam the engines and all, but thats sort of out of hand
Greetings Ferret77, If they're that out of hand and it sounds pretty outrageous to have top 9 pos as re-directs why dont you be the SE informer and further the cause of cyber integrity not to mention your're own serps..?
Well I perceive a new internet marketing avenue. "Cyber-narcs"... They take reports of unethical site serp perpetraors, confirm them... then report them to the proper SE channels for you. hmmmmmmmmm...
While I await the SearchEngine stats to be delivered for this month I saw the following chart which indicates the Top-10 internet sites that have the greatest "Reach and Usage" on the WorldWideWeb. MSN seems to dominate handily here although I believe they're still #3 for SE dominance. We'll see if that holds as Nov 05' concludes. -------------------------------------- United States: Top 10 Parent Companies Month of October 2005 -------------------------------------- Parent Name Unique Audience(000) Reach % Time Per Person -------------------------------------- 01-Microsoft 51,089 89.84 01:57:03 02-Yahoo! 43,586 76.65 03:24:40 03-Google 41,105 72.29 00:55:16 04-Time Warner 39,089 68.74 04:12:42 05-United States Government 31,491 55.38 00:29:06 06-eBay 26,329 46.30 01:51:59 07-InterActiveCorp 24,490 43.07 00:33:27 08-Amazon 21,841 38.41 00:25:42 09-New York Times Company 19,384 34.09 00:24:01 10-Landmark Communications 18,022 31.69 00:33:52 Source: Nielsen//NetRatings: A global leader in Internet media and market research http://www.netratings.com/reports.jsp?section=pub_reports&report=parent&period=monthly&panel_type=3
