I have over 100K lines in a server log of "YANDEX"
So I find their datacenter in the USA -- this affiliate server is in the USA also
zcat access.log.gz|cut -d'-' -f1,3 |sed 's/ - / /g' |sort -t"," -k1|egrep '100\.[0-4][0-9]'|less
zcat access.log.gz|cut -d'-' -f1,3 |sed 's/ - / /g' |sort -t"," -k1|egrep '100\.[0-4][0-9]'|wc -l
138436
138436 lines (file hits)
Code:
zcat access.log.gz|egrep '='| egrep -v 'l=|"-"'| grep 'google' |wc -l =Google 2450
zcat access.log.gz|egrep '='| egrep -v 'l=|"-"'| grep 'yahoo' |wc -l =Yahoo! 5104
zcat access.log.gz|egrep '='| egrep -v 'l=|"-"'| grep 'bing' |wc -l =Bing 9128
zcat access.log.gz|egrep '='| egrep -v 'l=|"-"'| grep 'yandex' |wc -l =Yandex 3531
=> numbers returned far right
The answer
- Google can lick my balls -- this one affiliate domain of mine earned over $30,000 during the period of these stats.
- For reason of it being an affiliate account I can't track actual ratios of cash earning conversions between the search engines.
- Bing and Yahoo per referral convert maybe just a bit less than Google referrals from what I have seen in the past.
- Yahoo and Bing referrals are heavily weighted in favor of North America sites and traffic also.
.
So, if you are not getting any Google love you can find love elsewhere.
ps: I am the process of redeveloping this domain into Google 'mobile' standards -- hopefully the Google search will improve -- this domain was last renovated in 2010.
