Search Engine Marketshare & Growth

by

According to Nielsen/NetRatings, here are the current search market share numbers for October, 2005:

Google: 47.7%
Yahoo: 21.8%
MSN: 11.3%
AOL: 7.2%
Ask: 2.6%

Overall search volume jumped 15% from June to October, with Ask seeing the largest jump of 77%. While that seems huge, Ask gets a paltry sum of searches compared to the other engines so that percentage increase represents only 58,000 searches, compared to Google’s 21% increase (the second largest) which represents 400,000, during the same period. It should be noted, however, that Ask received 10,000 more new searches than MSN.
