Those stats seem about right, but keep in mind that a lot of it has to do with audience and what they are looking for.

For example, someone searching for sneakers might be more of a yahoo user, but someone searching for technology information might be more of a google user.

Get the idea? I’d say that overall, your stats probably represent all of search, within a margin of several percentage points – in favor of yahoo and msn.

Hi. I like the color of your blog. It’s not often that one gets to a blog that’s oozing with warmth and welcome.
I’ll be visiting often.

I’m new on the Internet. Like everyone else, I also wish to earn a little extra off the Internet. I’m trying to figure out what to do best. Right now, the quickest way seems to be the advice of Internet gurus. I have a shortlist: Jack Lan of Singapore and James Brausch of the U.S.

I thought maybe you can run a comparison on various experts to help wet-in-the-gills wannabes like me.

No, Robert, the site is neither tech nor seo-related.

I think that tech and SEO sites tend to skew more towards Google than other topic areas so you’re probably seeing some of that effect.

Also, MSN tends to prefer local and regional sites in my experience.

Donna,

Great post, its good to bring this forward every once in awhile to remind people, its a big swimming pool, but google controls the deep end, which has the diving board – and everyone loves the diving board.

I would be interested to see demographics of who is using each search engine. If that info was released it would be a great way to target campaigns or organic for the engine that has the majority of users for your product or service.

@w.rOY can you provide a link to more information about being a “Culture Auditor” and what “culture critical variables” are? Anyone have more info about this?
