Google is absolutely dominating the other engines with 15,628 visits, it’s kind of surprising to see Yahoo providing only 2% of the traffic Google is. What’s up with MSN lagging so far behind…

Congratulations to Danny & Co. on such a strong showing for their first few months.

The most interesting part of this post, for me, was your traffic graphs. I have wondered over the last couple of months how many people are coming to Search Engine Land. There seems to be a real scarcity of comments…and this is not what I would have expected, due to the extraordinary caliber of the authors and information here. Why is it, I wonder, that so few people are leaving comments?

Perhaps, like me, they are a little shy of asking you fellows (the experts) silly-seeming questions about concepts which are, perhaps, too basic to be appropriate for such a sterling environment.

For me, coming to Search Engine Land each day is like getting to look out of a newly-polished, crystal-clear window. Everything is so precise, beautifully presented, clean. The professional tone of this site is truly refreshing, and I just love being here. Thanks to all of you folks for making it this way, and congratulations on your first few months!

“until trust grows”
searchengineland.com has 57,000 backlinks (you reported yesterday) and I see 60 .edu backlinks as well…is it really getting trusted backlinks or time….I say time more… you’ve already got the trusted backlinks.

Great recap Danny! Like the breakdown on the Digg stuff too.

This also gave me a chuckle:
“So for me, Digg traffic is a nice surprise, the frosting on the cake — but I’m baking a cake with many traffic source ingredients. I’m successful if the overall line between the spikes continues to rise.”

Do you have a cookbook to follow? :)
