Google is top one search engine and Ratting is already number one last 10 years for better search services, Blogger services and many more...

Be interesting to look at the stats for 2012. My understanding is that YouTube is now the second most used site for searches and surpasses Yahoo/Bing combined, yet YouTube is still considered a social media platform. I myself use YouTube more and more for searches, particularly on How to subjects.

A combined 87.68% of the market? That is complete domination when you look at it that way. Isn't this somewhat higher than the global average, which I thought sat at around 72% or something?

I was wondering what search engine has the most index in 2011 and come up with this result:

Here’s a comprehensive list of the top search engines with their own indexes reported by Compete.com in 2011

Top search engine is Google.

There's no way on earth I'm having anything to do with rats. I'm not going to tell the police about Italian gangsters either. Call it a personal preference but I value my kneecaps too much.

That is what you meant, isn't it?

I am not sure about this list.

I mean, combine Yahoo and Bing and they equal Google? Is that right?

The others after Teoma don't even rank.

[AlbrtJhnsqw]

Google is the best

[emexiagog]

Google would always be on top!

[GZFL2tDA]

Google is best and everywhere at every time. You have share a good tips about search engine indexing.

Internet is great technology in this advance time. According to me Google is wonderful technology in all over the world. Due to google we can easily all information about all over the world. There are many feature of google like gmail, google maps, google news, google plus, translate and so on.

[Rtebydou]

I don't think your results are accurate either.

As of mid year 2011:
Google had 65% of total search volume
Yahoo 16%
Bing 14%

If you add Y and B together you get 30%, and thats still not half of G...

Is this still raging halfway through 2012? Bob had it right. If you are a serious marketer, your efforts are going to be targetted towards Google. Anything else is incidental. Out of interest, are there any marketers here targetting other search engines as an alternative or as a way of reducing competition. I find my stuff ranks fairly well on Yahoo and Bing anyway. I've never really looked to far into optimising for them though.

Thanks, I don't hear that I am rite too often..

I find if you rank for G will, over time, also rank in Y and B.

I have never optimised any site off page for Y and B, but have ranked ok. Your main source of traffic will be G so don't see the point..

Google will probably lead this charts for the next decade or so.

[nmnrIjGB]

Google has maintained its place on top of other search engines, no doubt about it. But also need to consider yahoo because its not that far behind.

[gregmcal]

In my opinion, Google is the only and the best search engine which millions of internet users are using to search things on internet. The best thing which I like about Google is its simplicity and ease to use features.

[Berta]

One can customize search on Google and thus can find refined outcome. Google Deserve First position.

[TRASIAOREXOLA]

That is google is still on the top these days.
