Search Engine Market Shares - Weekly Update
A couple of weeks ago, I began publishing information about how the market shares for the search engine referral rates is changing. I’m attempting to update the information weekly. Once in a while, I’ll put up some other data, like the browser share data I posted a few weeks ago. In fact, it should be interesting to watch the numbers for iPhone v Android browser usage evolve once Verizon launches their “droid” line.
To highlight the trend, I’ll re-post the data from early September, but the graph below reflects trend information back to early August. You can review all the previous data in my earlier posts.
search engine referral reate trends to October 26 2009
| Yahoo | Bing | Others | September 7 | 78.68% | 11.51% | 6.80% | 4.06% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 14 | 78.35% | 11.13% | 6.50% | 4.02% |

Again, this data represents search engine clickthrough activity where the people initiating the searches are located in the U.S.
