| It seems I now do this rant every single
| |
| | from (English) Yahoo Search!The search
|
| year when traffic
| |
| | world is getting very odd when great
|
| statistics are discussed in web
| |
| | rankings at Yahoo
|
| industry news. Last week I
| |
| | and MSN don't equal referred traffic.
|
| posted to my Reality SEO blog that
| |
| | This has always been the
|
| referred traffic numbers are
| |
| | case to a degree, but is getting extreme
|
| the only statistic that webmasters
| |
| | and very disturbing.
|
| should be concerned about when
| |
| | Google has always sent more traffic,
|
| looking at their search engine rank. I
| |
| | with as much as 85% of
|
| wrote about this last year
| |
| | referred search traffic coming from
|
| after ComScore Media Metrics statistics
| |
| | English Speaking Google
|
| were relased discussing
| |
| | variants in US, Canada, India, New
|
| Search Engine Queries generated by each
| |
| | Zealand, Australia, and UK
|
| search property.
| |
| | sending more traffic than both the US
|
| that article, I suggested to Microsoft
| |
| | Yahoo and MSN.What is the value of top
|
| as they developed
| |
| | rankings in MSN and Yahoo if those top
|
| their own search technology that MSN
| |
| | positions don't bring traffic?Zippo,
|
| search might consider
| |
| | NONE are coming from MSN Search even
|
| resisting the urge to keep searchers on
| |
| | though we are better
|
| their site by plastering
| |
| | ranked in several important search
|
| both PPC and "Sponsored Sites" above and
| |
| | phrases for client sites at
|
| below search results.
| |
| | MSN than at Google! This is serious and
|
| Google displays two "Sponsored Links"
| |
| | it's a problem that we
|
| above organic results and
| |
| | must resolve. "Searches performed"
|
| none below, along with Adwords ads along
| |
| | statistics, like those
|
| the right column.Well now that MSN search
| |
| | exhaustively researched by Bill Platt in
|
| has made its official debut, we can see
| |
| | a recent article
|
| that they put three "Sponsored Sites"
| |
| | are absolutely meaningless if searchers
|
| links both above AND below
| |
| | don't click through to
|
| their organic search results, along with
| |
| | top ranking sites! What does this mean?
|
| those Overture (Soon to
| |
| | though I write a similar article each
|
| be Yahoo Branded) PPC ads along the
| |
| | year, discuss this
|
| right side of the page. Not
| |
| | topic on large discussion lists and
|
| bad visually, but it appears to be
| |
| | mention it regularly in my
|
| keeping visitors on the MSN
| |
| | Reality SEO blog, I have yet to get
|
| search site because they simply are NOT
| |
| | honest answers from search
|
| clicking through to
| |
| | engine representatives at Yahoo or MSN.
|
| highly ranked sites according to closely
| |
| | I did get a couple of
|
| watched traffic
| |
| | Yahoo Search managers to admit that more
|
| statistics of several sites I monitor
| |
| | visitors stay on the
|
| for clients.I've been pouring over web
| |
| | Yahoo site and continue to either PPC
|
| stats for a half dozen clients
| |
| | ads or to other Yahoo links
|
| looking for traffic from MSN and it is
| |
| | because "There is more of value to the
|
| missing in action. Even
| |
| | searcher at Yahoo." What
|
| though these sites rank well for
| |
| | is of more value to a searcher than
|
| targeted terms for my clients -
| |
| | relevant search results?I gave those
|
| MSN is not delivering the traffic at
| |
| | Yahoo's access to my traffic statistics
|
| all.This has always been an issue for
| |
| | and those of
|
| SEO's and their clients and we
| |
| | clients so they could see that nearly
|
| are puzzling this one over, looking for
| |
| | 70% of my traffic and that
|
| results from those top
| |
| | of clients was coming from Google - EVEN
|
| rankings at both Yahoo and MSN as they
| |
| | WHEN THOSE SAME SITES
|
| seem to retain the
| |
| | RANKED HIGHLY IN SEARCHES AT YAHOO! No
|
| searchers no matter how well we rank the
| |
| | comment and no
|
| sites!Yahoo has dropped dramatically,
| |
| | explanations as to why, when they
|
| with referred traffic that used
| |
| | generate huge numbers of search
|
| to amount to over 5% of the visitors to
| |
| | queries, that far fewer visitors click
|
| client sites, it has
| |
| | through from Yahoo search
|
| dropped as low as 1.5% of total referred
| |
| | results than do from Google search
|
| traffic from search
| |
| | results.One must assume that someone
|
| engines. After a recent increase in
| |
| | searching for something visits at
|
| referred traffic from Yahoo
| |
| | least a few of the sites that appear in
|
| search, we were hopeful it would stay
| |
| | the list of search
|
| high, but it wasn't to be.
| |
| | results, no? They sure do visit from
|
| Rankings have not declined - Read That
| |
| | Google in significant
|
| Again - Rankings have not
| |
| | numbers - consistently. But both Yahoo
|
| declined, just the referred
| |
| | and MSN Search are failing
|
| traffic!Google has gone up in referrals
| |
| | to send referred search traffic to sites
|
| from foreign countries, including
| |
| | ranked highly in
|
| foreign language sites. We used to see
| |
| | their search results. Why?I highly
|
| tiny amounts of traffic
| |
| | recommend that all webmasters with access
|
| trickle in from non-English language
| |
| | to statistics for
|
| countries, but Google
| |
| | their own site look seriously at your
|
| country sites for Netherlands, Germany,
| |
| | traffic referred by Yahoo & MSN
|
| Italy, France, Spain,
| |
| | for search phrases you rank well on. Do
|
| Mexico and a dozen other language
| |
| | YOU have traffic referred by
|
| specific Googles have combined
| |
| | Yahoo or MSN Search for your high
|
| to send more non-English referred
| |
| | ranking search phrases. Why not?
|
| traffic than the total coming
