Google Slips, But Still Gains

Posted By James Sadler

Google's share of the search engine market actually slipped slightly in June 2007, but it still gained in overall number of searches.

Confused? Don’ t be.

comScore, the marketing research company that tracks search engine data, tells us that over 8 billion searches were conducted on the Web in June, up from 3.6 billion in May.

The number of searches conducted on Google actually went up, but as a percentage of overall searches, Google was down a bit.

Here are the latest percentage of searches for the top five search engines in the United States for June 2007, as reported by comScore:

Google Network: 49.5%, down from 50.7% in May 2007
Yahoo Network: 25.1%, down from 26.4%
Microsoft Network: 13.2%, up from 10.3%
Ask.com Network: 5.0%, no change
AOL (Time Warner) Network: 4.2%, down from 4.6%

Here are the raw numbers:

Google Network: 4 billion searches, up from 3.6 in May 2007
Yahoo Network: 2 billion searches, no change
Microsoft Network: 1.1 billion searches, up from 757 million in May 2007
Ask.com Network: 403 million searches, up from 376 million in May 2007
AOL (Time Warner) Network: 341 million searches, down from 364 million in May 2007

Microsoft and Ask must be doing something right. Microsoft had a huge gain, breaking the 1 billion mark for the first time. Ask broke 400 million for the first time, perhaps reflecting their new look and new services that have drawn raves from numerous corners. Take a look at Ask to see what i'm talking about.
