Much Ado About Wanadoo?

Do they really have a significant share of the UK search market?

[IanTurner]

Just recently I've been seeing some sites that are showing significant traffic from Wanadoo!

And when I mean significant they are providing about 1/3 of the amount of traffic that Yahoo does itself. (Yahoo provides the results for Wanadoo)

Anyone else seeing the same thing? and where have they gained this market share from?

Yeah over the last few days I have been seeing the same with an increase in traffic

[lloyd]

don't know if this is a dumb question but are Wanadoo spidering. Hence the increase. I can not imagine why you would get a sudden increase. Unless you have a campaign running.

Wanadoo don't spider they get their results from Yahoo which did have an update to the index last week, maybe that's the reason?

[IanTurner]

Its not so much the sudden increase that interests me - more the fact that I'm seeing 1 Wanadoo referral for every 3 Yahoo referrals - generally on terms that are UK specific.
