Web CEO Metrics – May, 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.We can see almost no move in the positions that the major search engines hold. Could it be the calm before the big Bing?

Visitor Referrers (%)

You can see how visitors are being referred to websites.

There is a notable difference between the shares of search engines for the given period. At the same time paid advertising has become much less popular than a year before.
Looks like hard times have forced the site owners to save money on paid advertising and shift their focus on organic traffic.
