How much traffic does Yahoo! send?
There was an interesting poll and post over at Search Engine Roundtable about how much traffic Yahoo! sends. I’m confident SERoundTable see’s a lot more traffic than my sites do and it was interesting to see the breakdown. Less than 6% of traffic to their site came from Yahoo! in the past month.
So I decided to poke around and examined my own analytics for a handful of my clients. One client in particular sees around 1500+ unique visitors a day which is a fair amount of traffic. Here is what I saw:
A couple of notables…
- Yahoo! only accounts for less than 5% of the organic traffic sent.
- MSN and Live.com combined accounted for less then .25%!
- Google with 71% (slightly lower than I expected) and ask.com with 19% combine for 90% of the organic traffic!
