So I'm finding myself putting together a lot of PowerPoint presentations lately, and that has necessitated a search for interesting data and charts. Of course, the data that are publicly available (i.e., free) are always almost exactly what I need, but never exactly what I'm looking for. If I'm looking for info on B2C search spending, for example, inevitably I find awesome data on B2B search spending. Or, if I'm looking for top search destination categories, I'll find data on categories experiencing the most search growth year over year, but no totals.
But I figure all those hours spent looking at search engine usage factoids should at least result in a blog post.
Need data on online user behavior, search engine market share stats, e-commerce or Internet industry research? Start here:
I've created
a search on Rollyo for web stats, so if you're looking for a specific piece of data, try limiting your search just to
these sources.
