Over 70% of all my traffic is from Google

Over 70% of my traffic comes from Google, and this is likely to increase as they get even more search market share.

Very popular

Most of these websites are not online pharmacies. The reason they are so popular is that while health has traditionally been important, new science has been able to unreavel health mysteries and provide data faster than ever, which tells us alot more, quicker, about health news.

Surprised Its Not More

On iGuide, http://iguide.travel, we get about 50% of our visitors from Google. Granted, content-oriented sites usually get more from Google, but I imagine other sites pay quite a bit for AdWords and other forms of advertsing for their traffic.

dunno

I'd be interested to see what percentage of these health & medical sites are actually online pharmacies. I don't know how much of a factor trust is beyond the fact that Google has simply become synonymous with searches of any kind to 70% of the public. I wouldn't be surprised if the same results were applicable to the legal field as well

hmmm

I wonder if this corresponds to the trust of the search results in Google, as the websites in those two verticles need to have a high trust factor to gain traffic.
