This is USA-only view

Outside of USA - and I have a number of bilingual sites - I am really surprised but the numbers OP posted are close to what I see. The SE traffic splits like that:

G$ - 55-65%
Y! - 10%
MSN - 3%
Other, language-specific SEs - 17%-25%

What could scew these numbers is the fact that we follow Google's guidelines, so we are probably "optimized" better for its engine, hence more traffic. I bet if we would spend more time on local SEs, their share could grow closer to 50%.

No wonder Google just started an advertising campaign (!) in our language-specific segment of the internet.
