I was looking at Google Analytics today and noticed the following search traffic breakdown:
Google: 94.62%
Yahoo: 2.01%
Bing: 1.47%
Ask: 0.7%
I'm pretty shocked how little Yahoo, Bing, and Ask is as a percentage of total. I realize Google has around 65-70% of the search market, but 94.62% of total search seems high. Hence, two questions:
1) What is your search engine source traffic breakdown?
2) What are your strategies for increasing search traffic from Yahoo, Bing, and Ask?
Best,
Sam

Google: 95.6%
Bing: 2.4%
Yahoo: 2%
Ask: 0
Almost identical. From what I've read about the new Bing, it places a heavier weight on social networks than Google does. If that's true, you can increase your social network influence to drive your Bing searches higher.

Google: 95.93%
Bing: 1.33%
AOL: 1%
Yahoo: 1%
All others: <1% combined
These numbers are for If You Can Read, You Can Cook which gets 75% of it's traffic from search. Edward Antrobus only gets 2% and it's all from Google.
I wonder if it might be tough to rank on Yahoo for a PF site because Yahoo Finance is one of the few things they have going right over there and they want to encourage people there instead of other sites.

Are you including mobile searches as well? Google has over 95% of the market in mobile phone searches…could be increasing that google number a bit (as a percentage).

Mine is
Google 83.37%
Bing 7.19%
Yahoo 6.25%
AOL 1.19%
Ask 0.85%
I think the reason my Google percentage is smaller than others is because they are penalizing me for selling links. Google used to be a higher percentage of my traffic.

Justin, I'm not including mobile search, so perhaps that makes the numbers less skewed as mobile continues to grow as a percentage of traffic.
Kyle/TFM – I'm really impressed with the 7-9% Yahoo and Bing search! No tips? I look for my articles on Yahoo or Bing on occasion, and perhaps half of the time, I can't find them!
That said, I haven't searched for anything on Bing in 6 months!

Looks like Yahoo has come out with a new search app called Axis at axis.yahoo.com. Interesting…. now if they could only pick up all our great content!

I've been playing around with CloudFlare and noticed a section on the analytics page. In the bottom left corner, there is a section labeled "search engines" and lists the number of pages that each search engine crawled.
For me, it only listed 4 providers, Google, Bing, Baidu, and Yandex. According to CloudFlare, Google crawled more pages on If You Can Read, You Can Cook than any other two combined. Going back to what Sam mentioned earlier, it would seem that one reason why other search engines provide less traffic because they don't do as good a job of finding content to provide.
Google 1148
Bing 695
Baidu 504
Yandex 308

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here, just found this site, and it's pretty awesome that you're all working together to get the rankings up.. I have a website http://biofuelschat.com, and I have a question : how do I find how many and how often the search engines crawl my site?
There is lots of excellent content on this site in regards to SEO optimization and getting your site rankings up, I'm going to spend some time going through it all :)
Does anyone know what plug-in is used for this forum management? I see this is a Wordpress site, this is awesome..
Also, how do you get your signatures on the bottom of the page to be in a box?
Thanks for reading..hoping to post more.. :)
