Here’s an interesting graphic I found. It’s about how users of certain search engines are more likely to click your ads (or at least their ads at Chitika).
Here’s how they read the situation…
Now, it must be mentioned that Bing is still a distant third place in terms of traffic sent – Google dominates with 84% of search traffic, followed by Yahoo! at 7.40%, and Bing holding at 5.75% (AOL and Ask both have just over 1% of search traffic coming into the Chitika network). However, all things being considered the same, driving one Bing user (or AOL or Ask user) to your site can be more valuable than driving one Google user.
In other words, while we’re busting our heads trying to get Google’s attention, there’s good reason not to alienate the other search engines or despise their traffic. Use Google XML Sitemaps if you’re on wordpress so you can automatically ping them when you post too! Their traffic may be much more valuable to you in some instances.
You can get started with Chitika too!
