Yeah, but in terms of searches. No one yet beats Google. I use Trellian Toolbar. This is an integrated feature-packed search toolbar.
also me... if I'm not satisfy to the search result of other tool I use trellian and I discover my other keywords got the highest search number here...
Yes, but look at the period after 2005. Google raises drastically and it even reaches Yahoo sometimes: I suppose Google will soon bypass Yahoo in everything.
Google has way more searches in the USA, at least for the last month. SearchEngineJournal proves it: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/hitwise-september-search-market-share-askcom-gains-1/5836/
According to Nielson/Netratings the % of market for Searches are as follows: Google 53.6% Yahoo 19.9% MSN/Windows Live 12.9% AOL 5.6% Ask.com 1.7% My Web Search 0.9% BellSouth 0.5% Comcast 0.4% My Way 0.4% SBC Yellow Pages 0.4% Other 3.5% http://searchenginewatch.com/showPage.html?page=3627122
correct thats the actual point Y has most of its traffic on mail.yahoo msn may be on hotmail.msn google exports its mail traffic to gmail hence the huge gmail traffic does NOT show up in stats for google while msn AND Y have popular NON-search services ON their main domain - to falsely make non-IT pros belief that they are biggest. for far more accurate details how the traffic is split up into the different sections of the major SE may best be seen at the alexa data scroll DOWN to the bottom of each page and look for each SE at the section Where people go on ... http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=http://www.google.com/ http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=http://www.yahoo.com/ http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=http://www.msn.com/ then we see that for Y and MSN search is actually tiny compared to their non-search traffic
It all depends upon the website. I have several different sites. One of them gets the most traffic from MSN, another from Yahoo and the remaining ones are getting significantly more traffic from Google.
