Unbalanced!

    I picked up the following statistics about search
    engines from another thread:

    Google 52%
    Yahoo 25%
    MSN 10%

    My web site is unbalanced

    Google 89%
    Yahoo 9 %
    MSN 2%

    This either means that my customer base mostly
    uses Google, or that I am leaving half of my potential
    on the table. Any ideas?

    Best regards
    wiz

    All of my sites are exactly the same way. I was amazed that Google only had 52%.

    Me too. >90%. Seems to be the standard for UK sites.

    About 80% for me not counting a few hundred individual site links.

    I have sites on both end of the spectrum.

    - Google 2246
    - Yahoo 154
    - MSN 51
    - AOL 10
    - AltaVista 10

    vs.

    - MSN 114
    - Google 2

    vs.

    - MSN 10
    - Google 8
    - Yahoo 7

    vs.

    - Google 9
    - Yahoo 3

    vs.

    - Google 1102
    - Yahoo 189
    - MSN 48
    - AOL 34
    - AltaVista 10
    - Netscape 9


    The only pattern I think I've seen is that Google prefers larger and older sites.

    Thank you so very much for your answers. I thought
    I was the only one around here that's nuts.

    I agree with Will that it looks like better the
    statistical sample the higher Google gets.
