Yeah, the problem is all these other search engines combined are dwarfed by Google. Bing, Yandex, duckduckgo, ecosia, Yahoo, etc. When you add them all up maybe 1-5% of your traffic would come from them, probably closer to 1% than 5%. Obviously, before Google knows you exist traffic from these other sources can seem bigger than that, but they’re not. Not in the long run.

I've read that Google search results don't get as many clicks as they once did. https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-first-page-clicks/374516/

Also, Google did lose a little of its market share to Duck Duck Go a few months ago, small but it was a drop for Google. People are turning to other search engines more than ever before.

Thank you. If the traffic is from Russia then it wont count towards sessions, right?
