Latest Search Numbers: Google Climbs Back Above 60%

September 14, 2006

Last month we released the latest numbers on executed searches by search engine. A lot of attention was paid to Google's slide in August below its high north of 60%. As we stated in our post last month, August's dip was likely a short term phenomenon. The table below appears to confirm that.

Our search numbers are compiled each week based on a four week rolling average. I will post a special update next week to examine if there was any changes in rank based on the re-launch of MSN Search on Windows Live.

Thanks for that.

Wouldn't those stats be so much more useful if you took the extra mile and created a graphical representation?

Long term trends, currently hard to deduce but so much more important, would be much more visible.

What is so hard to understand is the continuous decline in MSN - AS IT IS GETTING BETTER?!


MSN SERPs has improved in relevance the past years in virtualy every way, the design layout of the search results have become more user friendly - but how ironic - that it declines as it improves.

It will be very interesting to see the effects of the LIVE search engine debut.

If it continues to decline after all of this innovation - what more can possibly be done??
