Google continues to dominate the USA search Market

Hitwise reports Google had 70.77% of all online searches in the USA for the four weeks to July 26 2008.

That is the tenth month in a row that Google has increased its search market share. It had 64.35% last July and 63.06% in January 2007.

Microsoft's MSN search had only 5.36% of all U.S. Internet searches in July, down from 8.79% in July 2007, and from 10.35% January, 2007.

This reduction is the motivation for Microsoft’s recent takeover attempt of Yahoo.

Yahoo had an 18.65% share of USA Internet searches in July, down from 22.13% a year ago, from 21.40% in January, 2007.

The continuing strong growth of Google’s search results is good news for the 10 million businesses in our USA Business Directory since it is extensively indexed on Google and the listings are 100% free of charge.
