Google Market Share Passes 60%
Both Comscore and Nielsen Netratings posted search engine market share numbers for Google that exceed 60%, the 2nd time this has happened in 2008. Google’s share is more than 3 times over that of distant second place Yahoo.
While the market research firms have come up with substantially different numbers for their July report, both agree that Google now runs more than three times the numbers of searches of its closest rival and more than twice the searches of Yahoo and Microsoft combined.
