Which Search Engine Generates the Maximum Ad Clicks ?
Which search engine do you think generates the maximum clicks on Advertisements? Surprisingly, it’s neither Google nor Yahoo but Ask and Bing who rule down the road.
A report from Chitika reveals that when it comes to comparing the ad click behavior of users on search engines, Ask.com and Bing.com generates far more clicks than Google and Yahoo.
Chitika used the data from a sample of 15 million ad impressions across the Chitika network. According to Chitika:
The amount of Web traffic driven by Bing has been increasing steadily throughout 2010 – from 4.4% of traffic generated in April to 6.6% thus far in July – and that growth, combined with the higher per-user value, means that Bing should no longer be an afterthought for SEO gurus and webmasters.
I guess i kinda know why.Ask toolbar>changing default search and homepage are with a lot of freeware and hundreds of users don’t know how to restore them, or maybe just don’t care, and don’t know they are just ads and they click them as if they were normal search results.
that’s what i think.any other ideas?
But Adsense from Google can give more accurate result on this :P
Don’t you think that the people who use Ask.com and AOL are so dull that they dont even understand the difference between an Ad and Content?(I am neglecting the probablity that they click it purposely)
@Rohit: :), but Ask.com layers ads between search results which might be a reason for higher click throughs
