After 11 months of Google gains, the search engine of choice for many has actually seen a 1 percent decline in their market share with comScore’s recent qSearch results.
While Yahoo saw modest gains for the second month in a row, the number of actual searches performed on Google (2.7 billion) was still one and a half times that of those performed on Yahoo (1.8 billion). MSN is holding steady in third place, garnering more queries last month than AOL and ASK combined. Given that MSN comes already equipped on most PCs and the sheer number of Microsoft sites that’s no surprise. AOL and ASK both showed an equal but very small market share gain and remain trailing the top three. Given AOL’s recent debacle and ASK’s branding changes, they have a long way to go.
