It’s a comment on some stats from Hitwise which show that the UK Search share in May 2008 was as follows

Google – 87.3%
Yahoo – 4.9%
Microsoft – 3.7%

Andrew Girdwood from Bigmouthmedia comments in the article that at times optimising & reporting for Yahoo is “wasting clients money” which I think is a fair point.

So what does this mean for affiliates? Do you still try and optimise for natural search in Yahoo & Microsoft? What about paid search? The market share applies the same way so is it worth actually running and monitoring your paid campaigns on anything but Adwords?
