For a client who runs a crafts site, the top Search Engine traffic comes from Google, AOL(dmoz), Yahoo(ink). A lot of the clientele are retired, new to the web, and Google seems to be doing it for them.

A second client site sells products for medically restricted diets, a niche that tends toward an older demographic. For that site its AOL, Google, AltaVista. Again Google doing very well for a non-techie crowd.

Another client is an event planning company, global in scale, not regional. It's definitely a for-businesses-only site with VERY little search engine traffic, but one client means many thousands of dollars, adn they convert wextremely well. The top engines there are Netscape, MSN, AOL. It's a business user, but very much that "right out of the box" kind of thing.

A fourth is travel research. Totally different profile. It's Yahoo, Excite, AV.
