Did-it Search Conversion Index, the Lowdown on Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Ask and Other Engines
Rockville Center, NY (PRWEB) March 7, 2006 -- The Did-it Search Marketing, Conversion Index (http://conversionindex.did-it.com) reveals some amazing data regarding the top search engines their conversion rates, and conversion volume. The conversion index is a comprehensive data source for marketers, press and analysts seeking to further their understanding the search marketing landscape. In particular, the conversion index focuses on measuring and illustrating the true conversion value and volume drivers in the highly complex PPC paid search industry.
The Conversion Index provides a window into the complex relationships between search engine ad networks, such as Google and Yahoo, and search publishers who syndicate those search results, such as AOL and Ask.com.
Key findings of the first seven months of data revealed in the recent launch:
- MSN’s conversion rate score has improved dramatically within the last several months, beating power-player AOL for the first time in December 2005
- Google ranked #1 in our conversion volume index for the 7th consecutive month
- 12 of the top 20 search engines for conversion volume was part of the Google network for December
- AOL consistently beat Google and Yahoo in conversion rate score through the first 7 months of the index
- 6 of the top 20 were part of the Yahoo network for December (three engines are meta engines that include Yahoo, Google and others)
- Google’s contextual network AdSense for content (googlesyndication) when counted in aggregate was the fifth largest driver of conversions in December across a diverse segment of marketers
“Marketers and advertisers rely on conversion as a highly relevant metric in search” said Kevin Lee, Executive Chairman of Did-it. “We hope by launching Conversion Index that we can help focus the industry conversation on improving returns from one of the world’s most powerful forms of media.”
The Did-it Search Marketing Conversion Index draws upon a unique set of data that spans tens of millions of search-influenced transactions across scores of client campaigns from every major industry segment. The data set is carefully weighted by comScore Media Metrix usage data and Did-it click and conversion data to ensure that the Conversion Index is reflective of the entire search engine marketing marketplace.
