I was at the SES conference this week in New York City and attended a forum with a comscore rep and a google rep, with tons of SEMs in attendance.Everyone pretty much agreed that its too early to tell whether this means anything at all - there are too many variables for one month to mean anything, and stuff like Google Universal search and a more efficient algorithms change could reduce *volume*. AdWords customers were reporting higher CTR during the same period.You look at dating services, and you know, their performance could be measured by how fast a customer no longer needs their services, as they got placed in relationship. Similarly, if Google can get users to the information they need quicker, their *search volume* goes down.

1.5-2.4x better -- If that's not a made-up statistic then what the hell kind of metrics were you measuring it in?

He's referring to Windows Live Search, which is the default search engine in Internet Explorer 7, which is the default web browser in Windows s**tsta.

oh well, being biased seems to be part of the job description these days. Wonder if this was in fact posted by a Yahoo insider on DIGG... tsk tsk tsk.
