Today Hitwise announced their periodical result on ‘US searches through search engines’ of March 2008. As usual Google is still on the top of the list taking 67.25% of the search engines share with an increase of 0.81% from February 2008 and an increase of 3.12% in comparison with March 2007

In the second place comes Yahoo with the share of 20.29%, which shows a drop of 0.30% from
February 2008 and almost 1% in comparison with March 2007!

In the third place come MSN with the share of 6.55% which shows a drop of 0.30% from February
2008 and 2.36% in comparison with March 2007!

Last but never least Ask.com with share of 4.09% which shows a drop of 0.7% from February 2008 but shows also an increase of 0.61% in comparison with March 2007!

This leave to us 1.72% left which is covered by the remaining search engines!

The figures above clearly shows that Google is still the ‘big mama’ not to mention that the report also showed that the number of traffic generated from search engines for Travel, Entertainment, Business and Finance and Sports categories have doubled and Google contributed to this traffic increase by 17%!

These results shouldn’t be misleading to a decision to concentrate your efforts to only Google as there are still more than 30% of 10 million internet users (Hitwise studied their search habit as a basis of analysis ) are still using other search engines.
