Silicon Valley Biz Ink :: The voice of the valley economy: "WebSideStory (http://www.websidestory.com), the leader in on-demand Web analytics, today announced that the Google.com domain continues to distance itself from the competition and has reached an all-time high in U.S. search referral market share. As of March 23, 2004, Google.com posted a U.S. search referral percentage of nearly 41 percent, up from 35.99 percent on the same day last year,"
Google Extends Lead as Search Referrer � MarketingVOX|SEARCH: "
WebSideStory's recent press release fills in a few gaps in reality.
recap:
Google: 41.0
Yahoo: 27.4
MSN : '.6
No wonder webmasters recoil when Google hiccups. It's that central to so many livelihoods. Yahoo's overrated, especially since it short-shrifted its flagship directory....I'd love to drill down on the stats a bit more to determine how many of the "referrals" from MSN and Yahoo are based on paid inclusion (all? most?) ... or whether *any* of the referrals coming from Google in this survey are paid for. (One assumes not.)
