SEO SEO Help Search Engine Charts
What are Search Engine Charts?
Search Engine Charts are simply charts made up from the data which outlines the usage of the main search engines.
What can Search Engine Charts tell me ?
Search Engine Charts can tell you a lot about the way in which the world or specific areas are finding their information online and by what search engines in particular.
This is knowledge is priceless when purchasing Search Engine Optimisation as it is pointless spending large quantities of money targeting certain search engines when only a few of those are profitable.
An example of a Search Engine Chart ?
Below is a typical Search Engine Chart (data by Nielsen//Netratings) showing the break down of searches performed in the USA in July 2005:
I think that by just looking at the above Search Engine Chart you can see there are 3 definite top Search Engines that you should be focusing your SEO campaign on.
This is not to say that you shouldn't bother with the other search engines it just means that you should be concentrating your efforts on the top 3 as these will give you a greater return on your investment.
Do the Search Engine Charts change much ?
I have found that the Search Engine Charts do change slightly but the the outline still stays the same.
The order of the top Search Engines stays the same although that is not to say that they cant change, after all who knows what the future will bring.
