Posted by maman2132 in For the first month following the date of Yahoo decided to follow its own path to search (and MSN decided to research on serious cases), the results of research, these two could only be described as bizarre. The time is now past that the dust has something, and there are three (from a traffic perspective) physical quality search sites.
The notion of “search” is to distinguish from real research, as opposed to paid advertisements that appear in search results for many search engines these days. I guess you can not really the search engine of debt of the company wish for a certain sum of money (actually, BIG money) selling ad space, but the debate on natural advantages Research against paid advertising search is something that has a very large book and still no clear resolution … Like many arguments about religion or politics.
Like most people, such as business online business at home for a few years, I was strongly conditioned to the need of animal feed, books-800-gorilla “the search engine of the world. In essence, if Google does not love you “, it was very difficult to get a good search visitors to your site. Given that Google was the search engine, has been waiting for the results of the most popular search portals, Google is not so easy to see on your site, the grade and you, you would not according to their priorities well for most high-traffic Web search sites on the Internet.
However, the research landscape has changed in early 2004 and things are very fluid and interesting since that time. Not that Google has stumbled, or ineffective, as a research vehicle, its just that major players such as Yahoo and Microsoft (via MSN) have decided, a surge of cases in the search box.
As a result of the conditional note (since shortly after 1998) was that Google “search engines of the supreme god, I have very publicly entries Yahoo and MSN over the” grain of salt “.
Over the past two months, one of my websites occupied the # 5 position on Google, Yahoo, MSN and a very popular and important (at least in my area), three search words. This was an opportunity to measure the popularity of each of these three suppliers.
If you are prompted to do so, “before the fact, I would have thought Google would still be the overwhelming # 1 search and selection, Yahoo and MSN would be distant # 2 and # 3 choices. This is why I was a little surprised by the results during these tables over the last 60 days.
For the period in question, the popularity of search results were as follows:
Google: 34%
Yahoo: 31%
MSN: 20%
All others: 15%
While the results are mentioned above for a single keyword in a time of 60 days, but the results clearly show that Yahoo and MSN are already important players in the research business.
Webmasters, as the old ways and focus entirely on Google are not on a volume of transport research these days, if not both instead of Yahoo and MSN.
