The influence of mobile devices on paid and organic search continues to grow. According to the latest quarterly report from RKG, smartphones and tablets combined accounted for 26% of organic search traffic in Q2, up from 15% a year earlier. Most of that traffic (18%) came from iOS devices, fairly evenly split between the iPad and iPhone, as Android devices contributed another 7% of traffic. While Google has traditionally seen a greater share of mobile traffic than Yahoo, this past quarter saw Yahoo pulling even, with each generating close to 28% of traffic from mobile devices.
The Google share includes estimated visits from iOS 6.
Bing still trails with less than 15% of traffic coming from smartphones and tablets, although it saw a marked rise from Q1. Read the rest at MarketingCharts.
