Search Engines: All Google, All The Time

Posted: Tue, 10 February 2009 | permalink | No comments

Just saw some interesting numbers about the sources of traffic for Stack Overflow:

Currently, 83% of our total traffic is from search engines, or rather, one particular search engine:

Search EngineVisits
Google3,417,919
Yahoo9,779
Live5,638
Search2,961
AOL1,274

[...] Google delivers 350x the traffic to Stack Overflow that the next best so-called "search engine" does. Three hundred and fifty times!

I'm not sure that there's much I can really add to that, except perhaps a quiet and dignified "Holy crap!".
