    Hell, I would like a strong # 2 before I worry about # 5

    On my research sites 95% of the referrals are from Google.

    Yahoo and MSN I may see a few every now and then.

    I use Ask Jeeves when I have an actual question to ask that cannot be compressed into a three-word phrase. I once entered a line from a song that was written about 20 years ago and they gave me all the information I needed - and didn't think I would get. :cool:

    Mamma just bought Copernic, is this correct?

    Mark Cuban had an interest in Mamma also, then he funded IceRocket.

    Search is hot, but who will gain on Google :confused: Dogpile and their parent company InfoSpace is a hot company as far as technology is concerned but they have made little impact in market share gains.

    It is hard to fight Google and Yahoo and Uncle Bill :confused:

    Here's a snip from my stats in December 2004 This is a well established site that's been online since 1999...

    From a total of 594,790 search engine referals...

    Google - 337,866
    Yahoo - 93,572
    MSN Web Search - 45,662
    Altavista - 8,475
    AOL - 3,690
    All the web - 1,949
    Netscape - 1,545

    The rest come in at less than a 1,000. But these are the ones that we care about the most ;)
