Search Engine Rankings from 2001
Published Wednesday, September 19, 2007 by chris | E-mail this post
Yesterday HitWise came out with their monthly rankings of search volume by engine. According to them, Google now has 64% of the U.S. search market. The top 4 looked like this:
Google: 64.0%
Yahoo: 22.9%
MSN: 8.0%
Ask: 3.5%
That leaves just 1.6% for everyone else.
It just so happens that yesterday I came across an email I'd sent to a client with the top 20 search engines in 2001:
Search Engines
Yahoo! 30.9%
Google 26.2%
MSN 14.9%
AOL.com Search 8.7%
GoTo.com/Overture 3.2%
AltaVista 3.0%
Netscape Search 2.1%
Dogpile 1.9%
CNET Search.com 1.9%
MSN - Canada 1.2%
DirectHit 1.0%
LookSmart 1.0%
Lycos 1.0%
Excite 0.7%
Oingo 0.6%
HotBot 0.6%
Metacrawler 0.4%
Ask Jeeves 0.3%
Mamma 0.2%
All The Web 0.2%
Interesting to see how many have either disappeared or faded into obscurity in that time. A much more diverse field, with those engines outside the top 4 accounting for a full 19.3% of the market.
