Google beat out by CNN.com for searches!

Okay, okay its only on News Video Searches but still...
One of my favorite blogs on the Web is the one at www.searchenginewatch.com. The most recent post features a survey about News searches on the Internet. 57% of the 500 people surveyed say they went to CNN.com for news compared to 53% who went to Google.
Even more interesting is the fact that 36% of the respondants are VERY LIKELY to click on a video that is listed on a search engine results page (SERP) while searching for news. In addition 35% are VERY LIKELY to click on a video that is embedded within the news article.
This is great news for those of us in the Internet Advertising business as more and more companies like FindLaw are offering Video services now. Even on-line Directories like Yellowbook.com are starting to offer video products.
