Google dominates the market with 60% share
Comscore as well as Nielsen Netratings estimated Google’s U.S. search engine market at more than 60% in July. While the market research firms have come up with substantially different numbers for their July report, both agree that Google now runs more than three times the numbers of searches of its closest rival and more than twice the searches of Yahoo and Microsoft combined. Comscore and Nielsen Netratings posted market share numbers for Google at greater than 60% for the second time this year. However, while the April result could have been considered as a blip, the July result fits the pattern of Google chipping away market share from its rivals, bit by bit.
Nielsen Netratings estimates that Google was used for 60.2% or more than 4.8 billion of 8.0 billion searches started by U.S. users during the month of July. Comcast came up with a 61.9% share for Google and 7.3 billion searches of a total of a total of 11.8 billion. Both Yahoo and Microsoft keep losing ground: Nielsen puts the two companies at 17.4% and 11.9%, Comscore at 20.5% and 8.9%. Google’s market share gains appear to have accelerated in 2008, with much stronger growth than in previous years. According to Nielsen Netratings, Google had a market share of 46.2% in July 2005, 49.2% in July 2006 and 53.3% in July 2007. Over the past year, Google was able to increase its market share by almost seven percentage points – more than in any other 12-month period before.

It’s all J-Lo’s fault.
It was a few years back and all the search engines were relatively equal and in one of her movies I remember she told someone to ‘google it.’ As soon as I heard that, I said to myself, ‘uh oh! market share here they come!’
Seriously, though, the phrase ‘google it’ literally put google on the map. If ‘yahoo it’ had as nice of a sound to it, this would be an entirely different story.
Dude, who cares who’s in front? What makes a good search engine anyway? Less ads? Theres adblock! More relevant searches? If you know what your doing it dosent matter!
I reckon at least part of this increase in market share has come from Mozilla Firefox having google as their front page
Firefox + customizeGoogle = no ads
“Seriously, though, the phrase ‘google it’ literally put google on the map. If ‘yahoo it’ had as nice of a sound to it, this would be an entirely different story.”
That’s like the question if chicken or egg came first. But seriously I doubt the germ ‘google it’ did put google on the map, it was/is the other way around. Google’s lead in the search market originated the term that’s now become commonly used.
just as tesco’s has taken over the shopping experience in the UK, Google seems to be taking over the internet
in a couple of years time we’ll see documentaries similar to “the supermarket that ate Britain” but this time it’ll be called “the search engine that ate the internet”.
is Google owned by jews as well?
And Martin dominates ReeGed!
how is this rls news, please don’t post this kind of stuff, I have plenty of feed for this type thing, it’s not rls news.
@4, nope. ‘Google it’ predates google’s dominance. Jennifer Lopez says it in Maid in Manhattan, which was released in 2002, but was probably written in 2001 (or sooner). In 2001, the search engine market was a toss up.
It’s all in the name. Without the popularity of ‘Google it,’ Google would be just another Netscape.
google is faster and better

WOW! The quality on that X-Files R5 looks great!
The.X.Files.I.Want.to.Believe.R5.LINE.XviD-ALLiANCE will be nuked, just look at it!
Google is a blank page with a logo and a search box. That’s all you need.
EVERY other release site has posted X-Files release, some have even posted other releases after their X-Files post, but not Rlslog, the slowest release news site on the net, you guys only coast along cos most of the dummies here are too lazy and set in their ways to go elsewhere, or they are 12 years old and love the idiocy of these post sections more than the actual releases…
The X Files I Want to Believe R5 LINE XviD-ALLiANCE…when will u guys post it..i wanna know about the quality
Only 60%???
When I installed the latest IE8beta, it offered Google as the default search provider. Go figure!
Even MS admits, they got arseraped by Google as far as search is concerned.
Your mom dominates the market with 60% share on my d!ck(far more interesting)
back in time I had found an super search engine it calls web ferrit but I think that someone bay that becouse it was to good ??
it is like earth view then google bay it and call it google earth .
“bay”?? wtf??
I remember Yahoo used to be my search engine of choice until it became more and more complicated with it’s bells and whistles. Now it’s a portal for news, sport and everything else but search engine related. If i wanted all that crap I would go to a news site!
Google just did what it does well - search! Kind of like what apple has been doing with their products.
They’ve also been innovative and produced excellent services like Gmail, Google Earth and Streetview. Sure they haven’t always reinvented the wheel, but they’ve kept it simple and better than the competition.
I do think however Microsoft will get a better foothold as newbies who still use IE as their search engine will simply the default search engine.
therapix is right….. its the freaking simplicity
all the other search engines were trying to copy altavista by being gateways.
google was a minimalist gem and it wasn’t cluttered with info.
thats why I started using it
I was an altavista man before that.
I remember when i was using google and everyone i knew and people on the internet didnt even know wtf gooogle was. google is simple and finds anything your looking for specifictly and has no ads which is the best part of it. Also usefull Plugins and it allows you to make an iGoogle page with your favorites websites. Google Rocks!
