Bing..... Clunk!

I have three different blogs and one which is an appendix to this blog. I've a statistics counter running on all of them. Out of curiosity, I checked the "search engine" stats.

Google has, depending on the blog, between 85% and 100% of the searches used to get to the various blogs. AOL Search has shown up 6-14% on the blogs that have registered it.

One searcher came via Bing, as did one using Yahoo (the search engine Microsoft tried to buy).

I don't look back far; other than page loads and visitors, the detailed stats are only kept for the last 500 page loads. But based on that result, I have to wonder if anybody is paying attention to the ads that Microsoft has spent millions of dollars to produce and run.

  1. The most valuable online skill I've learned is the one that allows me to ignore all adds from all sources--100% of the time. Of course, abject poverty doesn't hurt the cause, either.
