Graphing the 600lb. Googlerilla
Posted by Sean McMahon on 09.10.2008
Each month on our EngineWorks site, we update the current market share percentage of the top ten largest search engines based upon total number of online searches. It’s not necessary to go this section of our site however to know that Google dominates the online search industry. The purpose for this blog post is to put this dominance into graph form.
The following graph from a September 10, 2008 article in Fortune titled ‘Yahoo traffic in a skid’ depicts the overall market share percentages of Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft Live during the past trailing 12 months:
It’s obvious from this graph, and the article it came from, that the G-Men from Mountain View truly do rule the online search landscape. It’s also difficult to see the trends in our space changing any time soon.
Let me know if you perceive that the No. 2 and/or No. 3 search engine will ever gain ground on the 600lb. googlerilla. Or, if you think that some upstart will become the next Google during the next decade.
