Default Yahoo admits defeat in SE battle - 01-26-2006 , 06:03 PM






According to this report:

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/busine...8_yahoo24.html

Yahoo! has admitted defeat in the generic search engine battle. Chief
Financial Officer Susan Decker said in an interview. "It's not our goal
to be No. 1 in Internet search. We would be very happy to maintain our
market share."

Yahoo! handled 19 percent of global Internet searches in November, a
drop from 27 percent a year earlier, according to Web tracker ComScore
Networks Inc.

Google's share, by contrast, rose to 60 percent from 47 percent.

Personaly I feel MSN is delivering the best and most relevant results
lately, especially when you go region specific.

Yahoo never been a favorite of mine and Google is losing it's touch, often
giving irrelevant results for no obvious reason.

I agree, MSN is the only one that appears to pick up our site for
relevant key works. Google turns up a heap of nonesense.

Any idea what MSN's Market share is?
