MORE Search Share Stats for October 2009
Last week, I shared some statistics about search share for October from Experian Hitwise. Nielsen Wire also has stats to share, with a new blog post about online search providers. They too put Google at the top, with the biggest percentage of searches, while Yahoo and Bing still fall second and third, respectively.
| Search Engine | Share of Searches |
| 66.1% | |
| Yahoo | 15.4% |
| Bing | 9.7% |
| Ask | 1.7% |
Excerpts from Nielsen Wire
But while Experian Hitwise reported that Google’s and Yahoo’s percentages fell, and Bing’s search share increased, Nielsen tells a story that’s a bit different. Google gained 2% , and it was Yahoo and Bing that each lost a point.

In a recent press release, Experian Hitwise outlined how the major search engines stack up as far as searches in the U.S. go.
In the month of October, Google was the clear winner, accounting for close to 71% of all searches in the States. Yahoo was next at 16.14%, and Bing received 9.57% of searches.

Data from Experian Hitwise
Also according to the article, Google’s and Yahoo’s search share dropped slightly from September to October, each losing about 1%. Bing’s searches, however, grew about 7%.
What do you think – will Google’s dominance in search ever end? Will Bing ever pose a bigger threat to Google?
