johnchow.com — A webmaster's look at the dominance of the Google search engine. Nelson/NetRating says Google owns 50% of all searches, but I've yet to a see a site where Google accounts for less than 80% of all search traffic. Is Nelson/NetRating full of it, or does our sites just don't attract other search engines?

Have you thought that maybe people who use these different search engines may not be visiting your site.Just because none of your customers drive 2006 BMWs or Mercedes does not mean no one in your town drives a 2006 BMW or Mercedes.The fact that your store is a barbecue/liquor store/Chinese carryout in the seediest part of town may be a factor.

You work for Nelson? ;)I work for Yahoo! (with the ! at the end, which people always forget too.) Too bad we didn't have more boring, easier-to-spell/remember names. ;)

@sublimedI'll give you a hint, look at the list of diggers in his less popular articles. Like webtech and others, all their stories are dugg by 20 of the same members first.

I've been seeing at least 1 post a week from your site make it to the front page of digg.com for at least a few weeks now; isn't digg bringing in enough to make a dent in your stats?

>>"or does our sites just don't attract other search engines?">What the f**k does this mean"It means that the site comes much higher on the search result page on Google, than on other search engines. And therefore get more clicks from Google, than other search engines.
