This table [pages.infinit.net] is from a site who reflect the better average reference from almost a hundred sites I deal with, from 10 pages to 300,000 pages sites, small b2b to big corporate and gov site.

Have you the same data?

Allergic,
The trend that really stands out is Google and MSN traffic increasing steadily over time at the expense of Yahoo and AOL. This is reflected in other sources that point out that AOL and Yahoo searchers are just going straight to Google to search. Making decisions from one month is I believe too small a sample.

The one month trend you notice though may in fact be due to Yahoo and AOL making a bid deal about their respective search features through various advertising lately. It will be interesting to see what your table looks like in say, December, or after Yahoo is powered by Ink.

Khuntley,
I can be wrong, but I analyse a lot of forums, news, blogs, seminars and gigabytes of logs files and my crystal ball tell me Google gonna lost a least another point or two for august and september. I don't think Yahoo or AV or ATW gonna grab-it, but in middle term (6 month in SE) I think the metasearch engines will be the winner!
