Google is Most Popular – From the “Well Duh!” Department
Recent polls show that Google is the most popular search engine by far. Depending on the rater, Google served between 50 and 70 percent of all web searches with Yahoo running from 15 to 30 and MSN at around 6 percent. The Microsoft number is the one that interests me.
Overall, the rankings have to be cause for concern for Google's competitors. Microsoft, in particular, has to be shaking its head. The company has been aggressively pursuing the web search market, completely revamping what is now known simply as Live Search. No matter what Microsoft does when it comes to search, it seems that Google has an answer and the bigger Google gets, the harder it will be for the competition to close the gap.If they're shaking their heads, then something is wrong. It's no secret why Google is on top. They're simple, they're clean (very few ads of any kind and all are text based instead of flash), and they WORK! I barely have a bookmarks folder anymore because I only need to enter a few search terms to get right to any page I want (most of the time).
Even if another company can replicate the results, I will avoid them and recommend others do to when there's an option like Google where you don't have to be harassed by ads.
