comScore, Hitwise and other reporting agencies share market share of various online properties including Google's market share versus Bing or Yahoo and other search engines.
The interesting thing is that often, as a webmaster, you look at your site's analytics and the market share reports do not match up with reality.
For example, comScore reported that Google has 65% market share, then Yahoo has 16% and Bing has 14% or so.
But I dare you to go to your Analytics software, look at your traffic sources by organic or paid search referrals and see if Google doesn't have 80% plus in terms of your traffic - assuming you are not penalized by Google.
For me, Google is 90% of this site's traffic, Bing and Yahoo together add up to only under 5% of the traffic. On some of my other sites, Google is over 95% of the source traffic! In almost all cases Google is over 80%, in the 50 or so web sites I track - there are some outliers.
How about you - share your stats in the comments below.
