Keeping in line with our weekly SEO/SEM internal presentations that are done on Fridays (started by Sandy last week with a presentation on the future of mobile search); I demonstrated the similarities and differences between the three major search engines, Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Throughout the 2008 stats that I gathered from various search market share information suppliers, Google came out on top – globally they dominate the market with a share of 81% (77% in 2007). They are clearly undisputed winners in the race to gain the biggest market share in the search engine industry. Yahoo sits with 10.5% (12.5% in 2007) of the global market share, while MSN sits with 3% (3.3% in 2007). While the other two, less significant, engines continue to lose market share, Google gains further strength and supremacy each day.

View more fascinating search market stats and details on the value that each one of the major players contributes to the online search industry via their individual algorithms, stock worth, and future potential. Check out my presentation on Search Market Share and please leave your comments, I’d appreciate your thoughts to get a discussion going on this hot topic.
