I would like to know how you arrived at this premise? It doesn't draw a parallel with my experience.

Hi Surfn,

Do you wish to elaborate on this ?.

I'm getting about 80-90% of my traffic from Google, the rest is a mix of MSN,Yahoo,Altavista,Hotbot etc...

I'm finding that top ten results in other search engines are returning little traffic for the time invested. Although this may just be related to the topic of the keywords more than the actual se's ability to deliver traffic across a wide variety of search terms.

Also I'm seeing a huge difference in traffic results compared to "anticipated" search numbers from Wordtracker or Overture search results.

To date I have had similar to anticipated traffic results.

I'm begining to wonder if I'm realy missing a large slice of the pie by not using paid advertising on these se's.

Can anyone comment on paid advertising effectiveness on thses se's ?.

Regards,
