Google - All Your Search Traffic Are Belong To Us

(Yes, the title is intentionally ungrammatical

I run a personal website: www.goldb.org This is where I host my blog as well as content pages mostly dealing with computer programming. I was just looking over my traffic/visitors stats for the past month and noticed something interesting.

Basically, all of my search traffic comes from Google (I am indexed in every major search engine). I keep reading about search volume comparisons and how Google is slightly leading, and how more parity in the search market now exists.

Obviously my website visitors are skewed towards technical types, and the search terms they use to find my site are all technical/programming/software terms. The takeaway from this is that nearly all technical users are searching from Google instead of the other popular search engines.


Here is a breakdown of some stats from the last 30 days:

Where did my traffic come from?

  • 14.8% came directly
  • 70.4% from searches
  • 14.8% from other sites


Search Engine - # Visitors

  • Google - 1729
  • Yahoo - 20
  • Microsoft Live - 17
  • Technorati - 4
  • Del.icio.us - 2
  • AOL Search - 1



97.52% of visitors that reached my site in the past 30 days via search, came from Google.
