View Full Version : Are most people that use Yahoo really loyal to Google?

I always wondered whether Yahoo really has 25% of the search market or whether most people are just using them as their secondary search engine. Basically, if they can't find what they're looking for in Google then they'll try searching for it in Yahoo. If this is true then this basically means that most people that use Yahoo really aren't loyal to their brand.

I have yahoo as my homepage and I use yahoo to search first. So I am one of the few yahoo loyal users.

yahoo search is not as bad. I have used some of the yahoo features like yahoo maps and yahoo directory for some searches and It really Worked Fine

People regularly are using the three search engines of Google, Yahoo and MSN. It is the matter of ratios and percents of the search sessions.

For instance, people first go to Google to find the information and then for having more insight will take a look at Yahoo and if they still have not found what they are in search of will finally take a look at Bing.

I use Yahoo Mail and have Yahoo as my homepage. I perfer Bing or Google for searches, with Yahoo search last.

Once in a while I use Yahoo if I've queried Google too many times, and they toss up a message saying my queries appear to be spam and that I am banned from searching for a couple hours.

I use Google as my search engine, even if sometimes I can't find it, I will try other keywords just to find it in Google, So I may say that I am really loyal to Google. ( I use yahoo for mails and IM)

For mailing purpose Yahoo and for searching Google is best. Hence, it is nice to take the benefit of both.

People have different tastes and liking and so it should not be any surprise if some people have become habituated to using only Yahoo, just as the majority are with Google.

I do not think that people would be switching over to using Yahoo from google...though reverse might be very true! :)

I only use Yahoo for their email service. For search engine, I still stick with Google.
