Search Engine Market Shares - Weekly Update

October 27th, 2009 by Richard Zwicky

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.
