Microsoft/Yahoo Fight Over Search Traffic

from the them's-fightin'-words dept

Microsoft put out a report today saying that they get more search traffic than Yahoo. Yahoo says that's a lie - because Microsoft (1) paid someone to make the numbers look good and (2) are counting their the "unfair" forced searches that people get when they go to a server that doesn't exist or is down. Microsoft replied saying "I know you are, but what am I?". Well, actually, they said that both of the points Yahoo made weren't true. I say, who the hell cares? It's not like "search traffic" really means anything any more. How much money did that "search traffic" make either company? Yeah, it's important, but I think quibbling over the numbers is a waste of time.
