    I have just done my analysis for May, and think it would be interesting to compare notes. My site is very technical and
    appeals to engineers, I have about 230 pages, and 65000 visitors per month. I wonder if the technical nature skews my
    results toward Google.

    Only counting the search engines listed:

    Google 84%
    Yahoo 7.7%
    MSN 5.6 %
    AOL 0.6%
    Netscape 1.3%
    Altavista 0.6%
    alltheweb 0.1%

    In this I have included all search engines with"google" in the name, etc.

    How do your results compare?

    Best regards
    wiz

    My big e-commerce site shows

    Google 45%
    Yahoo 23.5%
    MSN 22.8%
    Other 8.7%

    I would say this site appeals to "good ole boys".

    My results are eerily similar to Smyrl's, almost exactly the same.

    It has been since June since I posted these,
    here are updates. Again, our site is mostly
    for electrical engineersL

    May 2004 results recapped:
    Google 84%
    Yahoo 7.7%
    MSN 5.6 %
    AOL 0.6%
    Netscape 1.3%
    Altavista 0.6%
    alltheweb 0.1%

    December 2004

    Google 82.8%
    Yahoo 9.2% (this increase is a surprise)
    MSN 5.5%
    AOL 1.2%
    Netscape 0.7%
    Altavista 0.5%
    Alltheweb 0.04%
    Overture 0.1% (and I am advertising on Overture a bit)
    Ask 0.3%

    It looks like Yahoo has taken a bit of Google traffic.

    Since I have a calculator I thought I would put this
    in perspective. It looks like the web developers you
    are targeting are much more spread out than the
    EEs I am targeting.

    The traffic stats are quite interesting

    for dec 2004
    Yahoo 38%
    msn 31%
    G 8%

    I rank in the top 3 for my main k-words in Y and Msn. in the 30 range for G last month. Have moved up into the 20 recently and have seen a small increase in g since.

    Does anyone rank the same in g and Y for a particular Keyword? It would be intresting to compare heads up on a keyword.

    I think your Google traffic is pretty low.
