Very Interesting Statistics

I created a site about Valentine's day in November of last year (2009).
It is now sitting on page one of Bing at position 2 right below gifts.com.

The search results are 18,800,000 for my main keyword according to Bing.
I put my keyword in quotation marks.

It's got 74 pages indexed in Bing and 304 pages indexed in Google.
The part that got me scratching my head in puzzlement is the fact that 95% of the traffic is coming from Bing.

Hardly any traffic is coming from Google, nevertheless, I'm making a nice little income from Adsense.

Tried to find my site in Google and gave up after the 10th page.
This is the first site that I've built where the majority of the traffic comes from a search engine other than Google.

It's making me wonder.

    I have a website dedicated to famous quotes and the vast majority of the traffic comes from Yahoo. I do get a trickle from Google but it's about five or 10% as much of what I get from Yahoo.

    The search engines have different ranking algorithms and so I would expect to get different amounts of traffic from different search engines.
