Google’s market share increases
8th April 2008 by David North
Another month another set of figures. It seems Google’s share in the search market keeps increasing now up to 67% or 69% (3.12% or 4.7% increase in a year) depending which source you believe. Yahoo! saw drops of approximately 1% or 4%. Microsoft Live is not conclusive as one source reports an increase and one a decrease.
With the talk of a Microsoft take over of Yahoo! maybe these figures show that the two are losing track of their rival. Sharing their expertise might just give them the edge to catch up or at least put up more of a fight.
Although some don’t like the idea of two super-giants in this market I’m inclined to prefer this over a single dominant force that no one can touch. Lets face it Google can make or break businesses online.
