Google Gains Larger Slice of Search Pie
November 15, 2008 – 6:56 pmGoogle has extended its lead on search engine use for October, 2008, gaining on Yahoo! and MSN. Well, I certainly am not surprised. In my household, most of us are using Google search exclusively, even if I HATE it for dinging my PageRank.
I think that for 99% of the time, I use Google search. I only use MSN and/or Yahoo! if I could not find what I want using Google, which rarely happens, unfortunately for Yahoo! and MSN.
I think that most web users my generation are the same as well. From the search engine war results that I see from my stats tracker, most browsers who land on my blogs and websites from search used Google as well.
I think that Google is the preferred search engine not because of its accurate results but because of its clean homepage and easy to load results page. Yahoo! and MSN come with plenty of frills that only distract me from the information that I would like to search for.

I think Google still have the lion share of the search engine market as they produce the most relevant search results. If not they would not be able to retain that position.
