Richard Zwicky posted Enquisite’s search engine referral stats covering November and early December at the Enquisite blog the other day. According to Enquisite, Google was responsible for 78.21% of site traffic generated from search results. Competitors Yahoo and MSN trail far behind driving 5.94% and 3.67% of search referral traffic respectively.

Enquisite’s November 2006 data shows:



Just to be clear on the point, Google is seen to drive 78.21% of search referral traffic with Yahoo, MSN and AOL showing in the single digits. Poor Ask is seen to drive less than 1%!

DMOZ’s condition was upgraded late Monday from dead as a doornail to a situation resembling palliative care as ODP volunteers and AOL technicians managed to restore editing capabilities. According to a note on the Resource Zone forum,

UPDATE: December 18, 2006 — Editors have regained access to the editors server and the public pages are now up-to-date. However, the public ODP scripts (including site suggestion, update listing, editor application, and abuse reporting) are still not available and we currently have no ETA for their return. Please be patient and, again, we ask that you not start threads asking when those forms will be available again–we will update this announcement when we have further information.
