Google dominates U.S search market

ComScore's latest numbers for the U.S. search market are making Google look even stronger than ever when it comes to the competition, TweakTown reports.

Yahoo's Bing-powered search lost some percentage points, dropping from 12.8% in August to 12.2% last month.

Google added 0.3% in the same time frame. Microsoft stayed steady with 15.9% in both months, the Ask Network increased by 0.3% from 3.2% in August to 3.5% in September and AOL saw a 0.1% increase from 1.7% to $1.8%.

This means that Google commands a 66.7% chunk of the U.S. search market, which is undeniably strong. comScore has also said that in September alone, around 16.3 billion searches were made, which is reportedly 4% down from August.
