I tried to mash the data in terms of % of Google's metrics. Yahoo's seraches are 33% of what Google managed and MSN managed 21% of Google's. When you compute number of users by dividing number of searches by number of searches per user, Yahoo's figures as a % of Google's improves to 53% meaning if Google had 100 unique visitors, Yahoo had 53 but Yahoo's visitors were searching less. Similarly, MSN's % improves to 28% menaing MSN has 28 unique users visiting it but querying far lesser times. <BR/><BR/>Inferences that could be drawn:<BR/><BR/>1) Awareness of Google is high and Google gets into the top of the consideration set. Any new internet user is most likley to use Google for the first time.<BR/><BR/>2) Google results are superior prompting users to use it multiple times in a given time period.<BR/><BR/>It will be interesting to see profile of users. For example, if researcher type profiles are using Google more, then it automatically increases the number of searches. The analytics on Google traffic should throw mind tickling data.<BR/><BR/>- Umashankar<BR/>umashankar_india@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371662734465550695.post-88696154700169717342008-03-26T02:15:00.000-07:002008-03-26T02:15:00.000-07:00Very interesting post.
