Google Approaches 65% Market Share In Latest ComScore Survey
Oct 15, 2009 at 12:37am ET by Matt McGee
According to the latest comScore survey, Google's search market share climbed to just under 65% last month, and remains more than triple that of Yahoo, the second-place search engine.
ComScore pegs Google with 64.9% of all searches conducted during September 2009, up from 64.6% in August. Yahoo dropped from August's 19.3% to 18.8% in September. And Bing, in third place, showed minor growth from 9.3% to 9.4%.

According to comScore, Google/YouTube served up more than 10 billion video views in August -- the first time any video site has surpassed the 10 billion mark. Other firsts during the month of August? Online users watched more than 25 billion videos overall, an all-time high. And 161 million U.S. Intern [...]

Consider India and Brazil, two growing Internet markets. ComScore released some stunning numbers about what's happening in those two countries and how Google owns a lot of the online experience there.
In Brazil, for example, about 30% of a person's online time is spent on a Google property. In India, it's about 29% of online time. For perspective, comScore says that the worldwid [...]
