Google just keeps on growing this year. Do you think the change for the other players will bottom out without a big change or entry of a new player?
September 22nd, 2008 at 3:04 pmMaybe yahoo can get some share with IndexTools users as it looks a much better product than Urchin/Analytics so I will be looking to use it, but it is not really going to be helping search.
Nice blog. I was looking for this statistics for one of my projects. I am glad that i come across this page. Thanks for sharing the information
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:22 amI’d love nothing more than to see another major competitor against Google. whether that’s Yahoo or MSN (unlikely) someone needs to even the playing field a bit.
September 23rd, 2008 at 4:32 amWhat amazes me is that Ask.Com continues to hang in there. They have a good product (although bundled) but, nevertheless, provides good results.
