Google, Bing gain search share at Yahoo's expense
Published: 18 Nov 2009 09:43 GMT
Yahoo continues to lose share in the search market, as Google and Microsoft pick up the difference.
ComScore's measurement of the US search market in October shows that Google still dominates the search landscape. It now watches 65.4 percent of all searches pass through its servers, up 0.5 market share points from September this year.
Yahoo, on the other hand, is going in the other direction as Microsoft reaps the benefits. Yahoo lost 0.8 market share points in October compared to September, now down to 18 percent of the market. It has been in a steady decline this year, as Microsoft has gained share with the relaunch of Bing: Microsoft almost cracked the 10 percent barrier in October with 9.9 percent of all searches, gaining 0.5 percentage points compared to September.
