Top 10 Search Rankings for March 2009

April 16, 2009 by Pablo Palatnik

It’s that time of the month to look at last month stats on the top 10 search rankings that is put out by Nielson Ratings and reported by MarketingCharts.

“An estimated 6.1 billion searches were conducted in the US at Google Search in March 2009, giving the internet behemoth a 64.2% share of search queries for the month, and representing year-over-year (YoY) growth of 27.6%, according to data from Nielsen Online.”

While Google maintains the largest market share which it has been that way for a long time now, you cannot overlook even the slightest growth to Yahoo and MSN. As they are in talks now to revive search deals, it will have an HUGE impact on in the search industry.

What’s interesting is I only see one shopping comparison search engine and that is NexTag, which saw 22.4 million searches, or 0.2% of search queries in March.
