Google and Yahoo trail in key e-commerce metric
February 15, 2006

A new study by Websidestory, an analytics company, shows that ads on AOL and MSN appear to be far more effective those on Google and Yahoo! at driving sales. Median Order Conversion Rate by Major Search Engine at Business to Consumer E-Commerce Sites, January 2006 Search Engine Median (All Categories)
AOL 6.17%
MSN 6.03%
Yahoo 4.07%
Google 3.83%

An analyst at the company says that fuller portals like AOL and MSN may appeal audiences in a shopping mode, while Google draws a higher percentage of pure browsers. I can't find the release online. I'll cut and paste below. Link: http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/blogspotting/archives/2006/02/google_and_yaho.html

Reviews: Web Analytics Products. WebSideStory HBX On-Demand Web Analytics 2.5
July 1, 2005

Of all the participating vendors, WebSideStory appeared the most excited to work with us and offered the most support. Now we're not saying this is a sure sign of excellent customer service, any more than a vendor blowing off a reviewer is an indication that it will be less than attentive to users. But given a choice, we'll take a culture of responsiveness anytime.
