Google's consumer market share took a beating in 2004, most notably when Yahoo! withdrew its licensing and switched on its own algorithms. A new study by OneStat.com indicates that Google's user share is on the up again, rising from 56.4 percent of all searches to 57.2 percent. Yahoo! held steady during the term of the study at 21.3 percent.
1. Ok, I was really taken aback by these figures. Not just a few months ago I heard (from a respected SEO) that the user share for Google and Yahoo were virtually the same at about 32%. Was he just dead wrong or has Google exploded and run away from Yahoo?
