This doesn't foot with the traffic to our site. Would be cool to have our own little unscientific survey, as I'd like to see what experiences other folks on here have... can you fill in the following?

1) Domain

2) Audience

3) Google/Yahoo/Bing % of traffic

4) Notes

View on HN

1) http://ama.ab.ca/

2) Auto club (similar to a AAA club in the US) (see 4b).

3) Google: 89.29%, Bing: 6.2%, Yahoo: 3.4% (see 4d).

4a) Numbers from the last 30 days, so this is relevant. 4b) We have members in ~1/3 of all households province-wide, so we feel our traffic represents an average online user well. 4c) 350,000+ Unique Visitors monthly (search + organic). 4d) Search-specific traffic.

1) raisethehammer.org 2) residents of Hamilton, Ontario / approx 1500 unique visitors per day 3) Goog/Yahoo/Bing: 92%/4%/4%

1) vacation home rental site (can't say precisely) 2) mainly residents of Canada / approx 700 unique visitors/day 3) Goog/Yahoo/Bing: 87%/6%/5%

1) contest site for kids (can't say precisely) 2) mainly kids in Canada / approx 1000 unique visitors/day 3) Goog/Yahoo/Bing: 82%/9%/7%

I realize these aren't big numbers in most cases, but I checked multiple sites and Google was never less than 80% and usually > 85%.

Far too small of a sample set to make a conclusion but on my personal blog Google beats Bing 2:1 in incoming traffic over the past three months. That actually corresponds roughly with a 70/30 split which would seem to corroborate the story However, my blog has far too few pages and way too little traffic to represent anything approaching a reasonable sample size.

1) rather not say

2) gambling

3) 92%/2%/7%

4) Mar 12-Apr 11, ~46,000 visits. Other interesting numbers to jump out: Google's bounce rate 17%, Bing 28%, Yahoo 36%. The relative numbers haven't changed much going back to Jan - I'm not seeing any growth in the Bing or Yahoo numbers.

1) Can't say (client site) 2) ecommerce 3) Google: 90% / Yahoo: 5% / Bing: 3.25% (last 30 days; search traffic only) 4) Bing's capture rate is .2% more than Google's but average revenue per visit is about 30% less.

cheap vacation, Northern Europe. Google 87%. Bing 10%. Yahoo 3% (the site has a huge amount of Explorer users).

1) http://feefighters.com

2) SMB focused site that helps companies reduce their credit card processing fees

3) Google was ~88% of our search traffic, and Yahoo/Bing were ~5% each.

4) Numbers for past 30 days. We are ranked far higher on Bing for our key terms "Merchant account" and "Credit card processing"
