Yahoo's Market Share

If anybody knows what is yahoo's market share in the search engine now? amazing how the company once was #1 in the web search engine business, now is almost non existent there... interesting if google will keep ruling the the web or there are any promising start ups on the horizon, I think it is even kind of scary that one company controls almost all flow of traffic on the internet, this is probably now the biggest monopoly in the world...

Hmmm..Yahoo needs to improve itself. Challenges are very high.

 

yahoo should have accepted microsoft's offer long time ago.

Google is #1 in searches, and youtube is #2
that says a lot

 

yahoo developing technology day by day so it improves % in search market.

 

about 15% of the market for yahoo,10% for bing, the rest Google

Sites with 2.7 billion queries and Microsoft Sites with 1.8 billion searches. Bing experienced large growth during the month with an 11-percent increase in query volume to reach more than 1.5 billion searches. Craigslist jumped one position to #6 with 636 million searches, while Facebook grew to 395 million searches, representing a 13-percent increase from the previous month.

February search results show that Bing continues to grow as Yahoo sags.
Comscore reported that usage of Bing went up from 11.3% in January to 11.5% in February, while Yahoo’s stats during the same period dropped to 16.8% from 17%. Google’s stats remained essentially unchanged.
The most impressive figures for Bing, however, come from a report written by Morgan Stanley analyst Imran Khan. Khan stated that Microsoft’s year on year search growth for the month of February was 55.4%, up from January’s similarly impressive 49% year on year search growth. In the same period, Yahoo’s seen year on year search volume shrink 9.8% in February and 8.9% in January.
So what does this mean for the search market? It means that Bing has continued to grow, and more importantly, that Bing’s growth appears to be accelerating.
This appears to be due to a combination of factors. First, Bing is apparently luring considerable numbers of users away from Yahoo. This suggests that Bing’s extensive marketing efforts have succeeded to some extent.
Second, Google’s growth appears to be slowing down a little bit. Year on Year total searches for January and February increased by 12.4% and 10.4% respectively. Google’s Year on Year search growth for these months barely outpaced total search growth, coming in at 16.7% and 14.3% respectively.
It appears that the search market is consolidating somewhat. Bing’s market share is inching upwards, at the expense of everyone else except Google. When Yahoo essentially concedes their search engine to Bing, it will be interesting to see if Bing is able to take a bite out of Google

 

I'm guessing the REAL numbers are not even close to the publicly released data; lately I'm going to make an educated guess and say the real #s look like this 70%G/18%Y/12%B (max) , with big G doing likely 70+

 

16.9% Market share for Yahoo.

 

the only winner from the merger is bing.

 

Actually the real winner is Google once again! Yahoo stops developing search technology and BINGs search technology is weak at best (almost no long tail). Really, Google now only has one competitor, BING - who is bleeding money...
