As Jeremy Crane <A href="http://blog.compete.com/2007/09/26/search-queries-results-yahoo-google-msn-live/">pointed out</A> many queries do not lead to referral. Many of the unfulfilled queries are probably due to searchers not finding what they’re looking for. Many queries are also informational and can be answered right there on the SERP. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.compete.com/2008/10/24/google-yahoo-live-paid-search/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/blog.compete.com/img/18ADEEE4-ACC1-45DC-94FF-43EA74B706A5" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.compete.com/2008/10/24/google-yahoo-live-paid-search/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/blog.compete.com/img/6641184F-2037-4D06-8657-98805342350F" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.compete.com/2008/10/24/google-yahoo-live-paid-search/"><P>As you can see, Google answers the query on the top of the SERP with a handy conversion calculator, while Yahoo! doesn’t.
