Apparently sites in markets such as travel, media, entertainment, business and finance saw double-digit increases in traffic coming from search engines this past month (May 07) in comparison with the previous year.

Google searches accounted for more than 65 per cent of all searches last month according to hitwise, an online statistically gathering company. Yahoo! accounted for 20.89 per cent, while MSN accounted for 8.40 per cent and Ask.com accounted for 3.92 per cent.

Here’s a break out of the top three gaining markets:

1. Health and medical traffic increase: 2.63% (44.44% overall)
2. Travel industry traffic increase: 13.04% (31.22% overall)
3. Finance traffic increase: 14.01% (15.96% overall)

Entertainment, news, and shopping and classified saw smaller increases but in general the trend is UP!

So what’s this tell you folks? Hopefully something you already knew. Search engine marketing is where you want to be focused for growth.
