Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi everyone,

Recently a SEL post talked about Bing Search Traffic shifting from Natural Search to Referring Domains in several analytics platforms.  This was due to the encrypted search update. However, I also saw another post from Microsoft stating that IE 11 would leverage HTTPs on IE 11 and Windows 8.1.  Could this browser update affect search traffic as well?

Thanks!

Hi Rand - thanks for the reply.   The reason for my question is I'm noticing a drop in search traffic across several search engines coming from the IE11 browser around the time of HTTPs went live on Bing and IE was rolled out.  Just wanted to see if anyone else in the industry was experiencing the same thing.  I'll continue to monitor our analytics and the forums to see if this is the case.

Thanks!
