Google show’s a slight decline to the benefit of Yahoo and MSN. It would be nice to see if this trend can be sustained, but I suspect it won’t.

Honestly, this thing of Google’s a slight decline takes the cake ! I know it’s also all about point of view. Anyway, I don’t see great future in Yahoo!. You do ?
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:14 amSome interesting data here. Not sure if it’s related, but I read a few days ago that Google posted it’s first loss ever. I wonder if that will play into these market share trends down the road.
January 27th, 2009 at 3:49 pmThis chart shows that, on yearly basis, google has gained its market share and other search engines have lost their market share. But when you see data of last month, google lost its marketshare and yahoo, msn gained little bit. I love google, but I want someone to give it a tough competition. I think yahoo is good enough to fight back. Lets see, what happens in future?
