In particular he kept telling me that yahoo has the majority of the business enquiry search engine traffic regarding the local business traffic, he quoted Yahoo having 16% market share where recently I had been reading that their market share was at an all time low as shown in the figures reported last month by hitwise.
| Rank | Search Engine | Volume |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | www.google.co.uk | 76.00% |
| 2. | www.google.com | 14.32% |
| 3. | uk.search.yahoo.com | 2.76% |
| 4. | www.live.com | 2.01% |
After I directed him to these stats he said 'I can tell you for a fact that these figures are wrong' at that point i told him that his credibility was questionable.
I love people that phone businesses all day long trying to help up (telesales, by any other name) and have dealt with many regarding lots of issues but I do expect them to have some facts and integrity when dealing with 'sales leads'
