I thought it would be interesting to see what people search on when they come to TMCnet. It should be noted these searches are on TMCnet proper which unfortunately at the moment does not include blogs.
These numbers should be taken with a grain of salt because if a search is embedded in a web link and that link is crawled repeatedly by search engine spiders you come up with a situation where numbers may be skewed. Be that as it may, it is worth sharing some of the information from the last month if for no other reason than as a diversion from more important pursuits such as doing your (and my) job. 🙂

No surprise here but shouldn’t Cisco be more popular based on company size and product portfolio?

October 8, 2007 at 1:58 pmThe other way to interpret is
The company with the top most hits on TMCNET has a convoluted and spaghetti corporate web site.
People trying to find information on Avaya products, probably find it easier to search on TMCNET rather than on Avaya.com
