UKNM: Usefulness of search engines?

[Will Dew]

According to a recent (Dec 19) story in Revolution USA

http://revolutionmagazine.com/news/PrintableNews_Story.asp?Article=13559

only around 7 percent of global referrals come from search sites.

47 percent coming from direct navigation and bookmarks, with the rest from

Internet links.


No doubt the search-engine optimisers out there will have another set of

statistics?


So, does it appears that links, banner advertising and its affiliates may be

more useful than search engines?
