Which Search Engine Do Women Primarily Prefer?
-
I found a study in 2005 titled "Men Are From Google, Women Are From Yahoo" showing that women at that time preferred Yahoo as their primary search engine.
I'm unable to track down updated statistical data to determine which search engine women primarily prefer.
Any links to studies or resources would be greatly appreciated!

Here's an article we published on the differences of marketing to men or women, perhaps you can find some valuable information in it: http://www.fulltraffic.net/blog/84385/marketing-to-men-women-differences-in-internet-usage/

Google has a majority of all search traffic and i dont believe yahoo is mostly women today- I just did a quick search in GA new gender section for a client and see the same distribution between male and female for yahoo and google ,if anything yahoo was a drop more male then female then google search for this client.
If you are targeting women the only network with a search function that i am aware of that is heavy to one gender is pinterest.

Export Google Search Results
I would like to export a list of pages indexed by Google and other search engines. According to our site search with google, we have over 300,000 pages indexed. Anyway to export a list of all of these pages? Tools like ScreamingFrog (which I own a copy of) can crawl your site but does not tell you the pages indexed by a search engine... I've tried using tools that will let you export each page of the results. However, this won't work for a 300K page website. Thanks for your help!

How to best figure out synonymous search phrases
I'm curious about synonymous key phrases and competitive key term analysis. I have a few methods for conducting research to find what phrases Google considers synonymous but they are very time consuming. What are some ways to figure this out? An example would be livestock and cattle. Are there any good ways to figure out user intent related key phrases? For example in our niche if someone is looking to purchase something Google often delivers pages with title tags that include the term supplies. Would it be advantageous to optimize for these types of key phrases if the competition is less or should I assume that Google groups exact match and synonym and intent match together when calculating relevancy. Eg I can choose to target livestock or cattle on page. Livestock gets a quarter the search volume cattle gets but has half the competition. Will I be competing against the cattle sites too? If so should I just bite the bullet and target cattle?

Forced Page Views and Search Engines?
I have a website that was built for the primary purpose of showing HTML 5 capabilities. With this, we have to create forced page views within analytics in order to receive any data about consumer behavior on the site. Are search engines viewing these forced page views as actual webpages? Does it even effect SEO efforts?
