What search engine are you using?

20 Google 2 other ... I am an undecided voter at this point

 

I use Google 90% of the time.

Yahoo!, msn & alltheweb make up the other 10%.

Google, though the new msn search engine is looking tempting. I will keep with google though because how could you live without it? =)

 

I use Google most of the time, with MSN and Yahoo a little.

Google still gives the most relevant results even with all their problems IMO. I also need to focus on Google as there is still 90% of users using Google to do their searches.

 

90% of what?

 

Internet users!

 

More like 60% I think.

 

Where are you getting your figures from?

 

I'm in the US.

 

I mean where did you get 60% from? Google searches don't just happen in the US!

 

Most estimates say Google has a 40 - 50% share. Pick your source!

The real question is, where do you get 90% from? That is just wrong...period.

 

If I'm honest it's my referrer data from all the search engines that people use to find my site. This current month is down at 80% though (I just checked)

 

That's YOUR site only, dude! Sort of what I suspected.

There are so many factors that affect that.

Your rankings are probably best in Google and that's why your % is so dangerously high.

 

You need to chill out Crazy Rob! Go get yourself a beer and take a deep breath.

I've also read on a few sites about these kind of figures.

If I had the time I would research these things a bit more thoroughly but I would be delighted if you were to show me a concrete source of what are the sort of statistics for search engine users.

I wish!

Sorry if I seem hyper. I just couldn't understand where you were coming up with that figure.

 

I use Google all the time, but maybe it's only out of habit, and so many bookmarks there makes it easy to access. But that doesn't mean I'm happy with their results at all. I have no idea what they are doing. Most of the time I don't find what I'm looking for.

I downloaded the Firefox browser, and I like the "search engine option" bar, where you can choose which search engine to use.

 

i am using Google and GoOnSearch safe.

 

Google suit the Homepage..
