Do you see this reflected in higher user numbers coming from DuckDuckGo over time?
I run a website too. Let me check the stats...
So according to Google Analytics over the last 30 days, 0.7% of my visitors came from DDG. Not bad. That is more then half of Bing, from which 1.2% of my visitors come.
Over time, the DuckDuckGo trend does not look as exponential as in their chart though. More like a linear growth that about doubled from early 2019 to now. But that could be due to many factors of course. Blocked analytics being one.
If users are using the DuckDuckGo mobile app or extension its baked in tracker blocker does block a lot of analytics tools so there is likely a large level of under reporting especially on the mobile side.
1. Google (82.75%)
2. Direct (6.33%)
3. Bing (3.63%)
4. DuckDuckGo (1.85%)
6. Yahoo (0.94%)
Kind of upsetting that as of January 1st my website was delisted from Bing + DuckDuckGo for no apparent reason meaning that my traffic is down by 5%. If anyone has any contacts within the Bing team I'd be really interested to know why my site was removed.
Congrats to DuckDuckGo! It's amazing to see a privacy-first Google alternative making such great progress! I personally contribute with a few searches every day :)
