The strategies major retailers employ to compete in a billion dollar search market

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - December 3, 2009) - On the heels of “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday,” Conductor, a premier provider of SEO measurement and optimization technology, released today its most recent Visibility Report. Produced by Conductor’s independent research department, this study documents the varying levels of spend and natural search visibility of the merchants, including Target, Walmart, Best Buy and seven other large-footprint retail outlets.

A few key findings include:
-- The top ten Big-box retailers spend approx. $678,000 a day on 1,217,966 keywords.
-- Big-box retailers manage 188% more paid than natural keywords, yet 66% of their visits come from natural clicks.
-- Target, the most active of the Big-box retailer sites, averages 23 million search visits per month with 53% natural to 47% paid on a daily spend of $247,000.

The full report is available on the Conductor website at www.conductor.com/research/the-big-box-retail-industry.
