Google Search Crushes the Others
comScore, a leader in measuring the digital world, has just released its monthly qSearch analysis of activity across competitive search engines. Some of the details from the Press Release are shown below.
The highlighting shows the main points. Google has seen its search share increase by 1.4 share points from the previous month. All the others lost share with the biggest fraction being suffered by Yahoo! The other interesting point to note in the footnote to the table is that searchers in the USA increased the number of searches they are doing by 11% from the previous year. Clearly searching is increasingly the way people find their way around the Internet.
It is highly likely that many website owners can attest to this trend from their own log data. Indeed the traffic in May is showing an even bigger increase in Google traffic for many sites. It will be interesting to see the results in the next comScore qSearch search share report.

If the one with the biggest market share is generally perceived to be faster and as relevant as any other then what is to stop it going much higher. After all we seem to live now in a buzz marketing/social media world now. Perhaps it’s also cool to use Google.

[...] We already know that Google dominates search, with a whopping 48.3% of market share that just continues growing, leaving competitors throwing caution to the wind in bold moves to differentiate themselves and cull in more traffic. Almost forgotten at the bottom of the pack is Ask.com, who today launches multiple paned aggregated search results pages driven by “Morph” technology and dubbed “Ask 3D.” [...]
