Where are people searching

Does anyone have current figures on the percentage of searches done on Google, MSN and Yahoo? After those giants which smaller search engines have any significant search traffic?

 

well obviously the top 3 search engines are google yahoo and msn, but after them i would probably say would be ask jeeves, not 100% sure but i believe they are.

 

I am in agreement with above.

 

google 40, yahoo 20 msn 20 rest 20? something like that I think

 

I posted this query at Band of Gonzos where there is a thread with some interesting usage stats on it. Surprised me just how much searching took place on Yahoo.

 

Google, yahoo are the main players.

 

You can consider following search engine significant to your search after those giants;
http://www.askjeeves.com
http://www.alltheweb.com
http://www.gigablast.com
http://search.netscape.com
http://www.looksmart.com

 

what about altavista its a major minor search engine, not as big as ask jeeves but certainly as big as alltheweb.

Plus it wont be askjeeves much longer only ask which i think is a stupid move by ask owners.

 

I would have to say that askjeeves comes in 4th. If I don't like the results I get with google, then I use the search engines in the exact order as above, yahoo, msn, askjeeves.

 

My order: Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask Jeeves, & All The Web .

Out of all I have best ranking in MSN & Yahoo for most of my keywords. Hoping for better in next google update

if you at the relationship, minor search engines are just being supplied by the major engines..search results on netscape is basically have the same results with google..

there's no need to search on those minor search engines since you will also get exactly those results from their provider...

 

I saw this link at Band of Gonzos and it shows how the search engines are related in terms of where they get primary & secondary search results, directory results and paid results.

 

I have seen similar reports before, but from what I have experienced, the search traffic from Google compared to msn when looking at the exact same keyterm in the exact same position, the Google searches are a lot higher than twice the msn ones.

 

major search engine is google,yahoo,msn. But theres a lot of search engines try to view this http://www.bruceclay.com/searchenginerelationshipchart.htm

Hope that helps your visualization

 

Out of curiosity, does anyone use the Mamma search engine? - (mamma.com)
