Guys, I made a small study during april and may to check visitors trend to my site. I compared google, yahoo and MSN. I always noticed that when google sends me a higher number of visitors for a few days, yahoo and MSN just do the same and vice versa, like when it goes down..it goes down across the SE's so for e.g if i get 100 visitors for google and 20 from yahoo and 10 from msn it increases to 200, then 40 from yahoo and some 20 from MSN this reverses when google visitors go down for a few days, yahoo traffic will also vanish. Anyone else noticed this? I suspect yahoo and MSN are just acting as clones without any brain?
No it's not obvious by your post. Secondly how can you compare a search engine to a portal? Sort of like comparing a calculator to a nightclub.....
No offense, but that's really stupid. No one who even bothered to do a single search on all 3 search engines, a task that would take less than 30 seconds, would come to that conclusion, and you did a whole study on it you say? Come on now. -Michael
the secret of google success is that G is adding new properties to google search. the main job of google is searching but the other choose being portals
Wtf are you talking about? a) "waist" has to do with how big your pants are b) Yahoo! is NOT powered by Google. Why would you want to state something like that? There are alot of inexperienced webmasters who come here to learn, you shouldn't post nonsense. It makes it harder for them. -Michael
I would say that each search engine tends to view the web from a different point of view and/or fans of different search engines have specific search ideas in mind when they go to their favorite search engine. It is not unreasonable to assume that certain content would fair similar on various search engines while other content will be looked at differently. I am getting a fairly steady stream of traffic from google, yahoo, and msn, sometimes for the same keywords, and sometimes not. From this data I could possibly draw a weak co-relation between the data, but I do not see sufficient evidence that one is "cloning" the other.
Or it may just have to do with the fact that certain days will bring more traffic than others. Just like an email sent Monday morning will get read more often than an email sent Thursday morning. Myspace sites during the summer will earn more ad revenues than during the school year as at such time the kids are in school and not clicking on ads (drats) This has nothing to do whatsoever with whether or not Google Yahoo & Msn are clones .....
waste, my bad, I'm not a native english speaker sorry, yahoo was powered by google, my bad again Google is the best, I just can't understand how msn works, and about Yahoo good portal , that's it.
