Yahoo Gains Search Share; Google & Microsoft Suck

posted on October 29, 2008


Some good news for Yahoo! It’s share of US searches in September reached 20.2%–up from 19.6% in August.

Bad news for Google. It’s share dropped a massive 0.1% from 63% to just 62.9%–that should freak out the Wall Street boys.

The good news for everyone? The data comes from comScore, which means that it probably has a treasure chest of excuses ready–in the event this all just one big rounding error.

PS. Please don’t panic about the Google drop, it has been known to happen before. ;-)

PPS. If you care about Microsoft, you can check out whether it gained or lost, here.

    Saad, this remembers me when I used to have a hotmail account and was unable to login.
    I contacted them for support and explained what the error was. One week after I received their answer starting like this:
    “Hello, after doing a quick research on Google for this error message…” :) )
