SEO and More

This thread on WebProWorld discusses Google’s ongoing Jagger Update. Some webmasters have noted that their traffic from Yahoo jumped during the update and wonder if the public dislikes Jagger as much as SEOs.

Once people start switching their default home page to Yahoo, look out. Could Jagger be the dagger in Google’s back?

I’m not very sure users will switch loyalty that easily, though. Although traffic from Yahoo + MSN together can exceed that from Google, a good Google ranking can still be a huge boost to your bottomline, especially with the holiday season coming up.

The traffic stats for one of my most successful niche sites (online since August 2002) looks like this. Google has been the most significant source of traffic to this site and I don’t think that’s going to change significantly anytime soon, Jagger or no Jagger.

Here’s a nice blog post with some more data and feedback on whether Google, Yahoo or MSN send more traffic.
