New statistics from Nielsen Online point out that Google’s dominance of the search market is not going away anytime soon, as Google Search Engine usages has grown substantially over the past year by 16.7%. Google now holds an estimated 64.2% of the “search share market.”
Keep in mind, a lot of search users use multiple search engines, so this does NOT mean that 64.2% of users ONLY search Google. According to Nielsen, Google’s share represents 6.1 billion searches, which is roughly four times greater, or 400% more, than Yahoo Search, which has a 15.8% share of the search market with an estimated 1.5 billion searches, an estimated growth of 1.7% over the past year.
Yahoo’s possible future parent company Microsoft however has barely seen any growth in search share over the past year, with only a 0.3% growth over the past year and a 10.3% hold of the search market.
Of course if Yahoo AND Microsoft Search do merge under an almost inescapable acquisition of Yahoo by Redmond, that combined share would be roughly 26% of the search market, and growth would be expected as a Google alternative with inherent browser and communications integration (Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, IE, Yahoo Messenger …etc.) would gather interest and enhanced circulation of search on the desktop and beyond.
One interesting stat is that AOL Search has shown more growth than Microsoft or Yahoo, with a 6.6% growth after last year. AOL has been quite aggressive in the establishment of their content network and bringing together all of the search and advertising acquisitions it has made over the past couple of years. ::Full content::
