Source for how many searches are done on Google per day?
-
Hi, All!
The figure I've seen going around is 3 billion and is attributed to ComScore, but in the comScore press release that was linked to (actually the one from Rand's article - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/21-tactics-to-increase-blog-traffic-2012) all I could find was percentage of market share, but no total numbers of searches.
Anyone have a source on that?
Thanks,
Aviva

Google will never show its cards
And I've never gotten really accurate data from ComScore, etc. so there's only so much you can uncover, eh?

Thanks Andrea. A post from Search Engine Land (http://searchengineland.com/by-the-numbers-twitter-vs-facebook-vs-google-buzz-36709) from about 2 years ago also says that the only number Google will give is "more than 1 billion," but that is assumed in the article to be a minimum estimate.
So it could that Catherine Roe was reporting the only "official" stats Google has, but which may not reflect reality 100%.

I just went to a luncheon 2 weeks ago that Catherine Roe (Head of Consumer Packaged Goods for Google) spoke at and she said that Google has 1 billion searches a day. This was based on internal data her team gave her (I don't know how recent, but I'd venture to guess she knows the right people to ask).

Drop in Traffic from Google, However no change in the rankings
I have seen a 20% drop in traffic from google last week (After April 29th). However when I try to analyze the rank of the keywords in the google results that send me traffic they seem to be the same. Today (6th March) Traffic has fallen further again with not much/any visible change in the rankings. Any ideas on what the reason for this could be? I have not made any changes to the website recently.

Would Google Remove Pages for Inactivity?
Hi, I've been watching the Total Indexed number for 4 domains that I work with for the last few months. In Google Webmaster Tools three of them were holding steady up until August-September, when suddenly they started declining by hundreds of thousands of URLs a week. I've asked my IT department and they say they haven't done anything technically different in the last few months that would affect indexation. I've also searched on google and on search marketing blogs to see if anyone else has experience this to no avail. As you can see in the image, the "Not Selected" pages have not increased so it appears this is not due to duplicate content (of which we have a lot). However, the "Ever Crawled" number is increasing. The only reasonable answer that I can conclude is that Google is now de-indexing inactive URLs? Anyone have a better answer? yIYDm.jpg

Implications of removing all google products from site
Is there any data on the implications of removing everything google from a site; analytics, adsense, webmaster tools, sitemaps, etc. Obviously they still have their search data and they say they dont use these other sources of data for ranking information but has anyone actually tried this or is there any existing data on this?

Google new update question
I was just reading this, http://www.entrepreneur.com/blog/220662 We have our official site, which has 200+ service pages, which we wrote once and we keep doing SEO for them, so they rank high all the time. Now my question is, how does Google handle the site freshness ? Service static pages or if we are adding blog items, then also they consider them as fresh site, right ? So, we dont have to update those service pages, right ?
