Real data on search engine activity

    I just discovered what I have been looking for for years,
    a source of search engine data, hitwise.com.

    Comparing their results to my results is interesting
    They report:
    Google 66%
    Yahoo 20.88%
    MSN 5.33%
    Ask 4.14%

    My results (with 1.7 million referrals from search engines
    in 2007)

    Google 87%
    Yahoo 7.8%
    MSN 2.2%
    Ask 1%

    Since I market mostly to engineers I am inclined to think
    that most of my customers use Google.

    On the other hand, maybe I need to optimise for the other
    search engines. Is this possible?

    best regards
    wiz
