Web CEO Metrics – October, 2009

Here we are sharing the generalized numbers from our HitLens Web Analytics service. It covers 300,000+ websites from all over the world.

Global Search Engines (%)

This chart gives the idea of the market share of each of the three major search engines. Innovations take their own: Bing has increased its market share. And it seems, in some cases it was increased at the expense of Yahoo’s fall.

Visitor Referrers (%)

You can see how visitors are being referred to websites. It looks like people’s faith in organic optimization has been shaken a bit, so its share decreased in comparison to the October 2008 point. Webmasters resort to the help of backlinks and paid advertising more and more.
