    Anyone care to post the traffic numbers from their google analytics account?

    Here are my numbers from this morning.

    Source ----- pages per visit ------ time on site ----- bounce rate

    Google ---------- 7.05 -------------- 00:08:29 ---------- 56.35%
    Yahoo ----------- 17.21 ------------- 00:20:52 ---------- 22.85%
    Bing ------------- 19.13 ------------- 00:23:09 ---------- 21.50%

    It appears to me that google provides the least targeted traffic, with an average 56.35% bounce rate. While Bing and Yahoo have bounce rates in the 21% - 22% range.

    Out of the three, bing seems to provide the best traffic. I wish all of my traffic was as targeted as yahoo and bing.


    Total amount of traffic for this site in the past 30 days:

    3,602,335 Pageviews
    356,454 Visits
    166,613 Visitors

    Hi friend,
    I am also getting more traffic from Bing than Google and Yahoo. Even though I think you included unique and first time visitors in 166,613 Visitors.

    Yes, that as statistics shows the same data I happen to "shovel" on my sites. Best ratios for less bounce rates come from B & Y. But what they lack so far is slower indexation compared to G. On the other hand it seems like the relevancy, especially in the long tail keyword chains, is much better and related to the user expectations. I'm constantly seeing G's flaw on that.

    @franky123 - he doesn't state that his traffic as a volume is provided mostly by B & Y - rather than it's about quality, measured as lower bounce rates.

    I think I get more direct traffics from social media like twitter, facebook and meme than search engines. :)

    Have a nice day,

    in my own experience google gives me more traffic than any search engines, and second traffic generating in my blog is through social networks like twitter, multiply, and facebook.

    You also need to look at the keywords you are getting traffic for from each of the search engines, its likely that the traffic you are getting from Bing and Yahoo are from long tail keywords, so the traffic will be more targeted.

    Does anyone here even use google analytics? I posted this thread 2 months ago and not a single person has posted their stats.

    Most of my organic web traffic on all my websites is from Google. I get most of my traffic from longtail keywords. My data is biased because I slant my SEO to Google PR and Google searches, I even have a specific Google sitemap. However, where I get most of my traffic is through google's "viral" webmaster programs and not even organic traffic.

    All in all, I believe Google has much more diversified tools to generate better quality traffic not only though organic search.:~

    I used google analytics.. With Google analyitcs, we can gather , view and analyze data about our website traffic. It generates detailed statistics about visitors to our site.

    I get more traffic from Yahoo as my site is ranked quite nicely there. Google. Not so much.
