Search Engine Stats for March and April 2010

Jason Massengale — Fri, 07 May 2010 01:50:20 +0000

I read recently that Bing’s market share for searches was an impressive number since it was over 10%. Not sure if that was before or after these figures, but here’s what eWeek had to say.

Bing’s U.S. market share dipped slightly between March and April, according to new numbers by Experian Hitwise. Meanwhile, Google saw slight gains during the month, and Yahoo declined. However, Bing continued to demonstrate strong year-over-year gains in vertical categories such as health, travel, automotive and shopping, suggesting that Microsoft’s focus on that area is paying off. Google continues to hold the highest percentage of overall search.

Google climbed from 69.97% to 71.40% during that same period. Yahoo dropped from 15.04% to 14.96% and Ask dropped from 3.44% to 2.18%.

That’s why you hear me talking about Google search results so much. Combine everyone else’s search volume – then double it – and Google is still in the lead by 10%.

Here’s the article I’m quoting.

Should I Have a Real Estate Website and a Real Estate Blog?

New post at my-real-estate-website.com titled:

Should I Have a Real Estate Website and a Real Estate Blog?

To answer the question directly – YES, real estate agents should have real estate websites and real estate blogs, but they don’t have to be separate from each other.

Of course every real estate agent should have a website, but surprisingly few have blogs. Real estate blogs will inevitably be deemed as crucial as a regular website. In fact, the ideal real estate website for today’s market is a blog. The problem with using most blogs as a primary real estate website though is that they don’t fit the mold of what most real estate agents are looking for in a website. Our websites fit the mold perfectly as they leverage the Web 2.0 benefits of blogs while maintaining a real estate website look and feel.

Search Engine Sitemap Test

I just added another “website” under jasonmassengale.com at jasonmassengale.com/real_estate_websites.

Before I submitted the sitemap to Google, they were indexing 94 pages on jasonmassengale.com.

I’m just testing it to see how long it takes to pick up the other pages and include them – or if it will at all. The new sitemap I submitted is in a different location and I’m not sure if Google will like it.

We’ll see.

That worked a lot quicker than I though it would. In less than 15 minutes, Google was already indexing 23 more pages on jasonmassengale.com.

This article talks about how Obama (his people anyway) used social marketing to whoop John McCain:

I didn’t support Obama, but I didn’t care for McCain either. Hopefully the GOP pulls its head out after this one…
