Google delivers 350x the traffic to Stack Overflow that the next best so-called “search engine” does. Three hundred and fifty times!
All I can say is that’s a Belgium big number!
Here’s his data:
Search Engine Visits 3,417,919 Yahoo 9,779 Live 5,638 Search 2,961 AOL 1,274 Ask 1,186 MSN 1,177 Altavista 202 Yandex 191 Seznam 103
The server logs for vgable.com, for 2008, show google giving me a much more modest 3.6x of my traffic.

Of course, having 3.6x as much market share as everyone else combined is still market domination.
I can’t speculate why the numbers for my niche website are different from Attwood’s niche website (especially w.r.t Live Search).
But Yahoo’s consistently irrelevant 0.3% and 0.2% of referrals looks especially bad for them. Google has too few competitors.
