Yahoo might be top web property, but Google still drives most traffic Aug 27th 2013, 16:46, by Lauren Kaye When it comes to search engine optimization, marketers know it's important to prioritize ranking signals for sites with the most internet users. Google has been the out-and-out winner for a couple of years, so it came as a surprise that Yahoo was named the top web property in comScore's Media Metrix report for July 2013. However, new data from Parse.ly's initial Authority Report shows Google is still responsible for the most traffic going to brands' websites. This means marketers shouldn't put their SEO strategies in reverse to learn which web content ranks best on Yahoo just yet, as Google's algorithms and search crawlers will still determine how many consumers get to their sites. The Authority Report found that Google is still the dominant source of traffic, with more than 200 million pageviews coming from the search engine and its subsidiary web properties like Google News, YouTube and Google.ca. Facebook came in second with a fraction of pageviews (under 80 million), followed by Outbrain and then Yahoo. Until Google loses traction as the No. 1 search engine, marketers will need to stick to the site's quality standards. To dominate SERPs, brands must create custom content that offers value to readers rather than implementing shallow SEO practices that provide short-term wins.
