Google search dominance boggles

Nielsen//NetRatings issued its search engine share rankings for the month of July this afternoon and I thought it would be worthwhile sharing them with readers.

It is a bit mind-boggling that in July, Google had more than 4 billion searchers.

The total number of searches was over 6 billion, or about one search for every man, woman and child alive on the earth today.

Top 10 Search Providers for July 2007, ranked by Number of Searches
(U.S.)

| Google Search | 4,143,752 | 53.3% |
| Yahoo! Search | 1,559,745 | 20.1% |
| MSN/Windows | 1,057,064 | 13.6% |
| AOL Search | 407,988 | 5.2% |
| Ask.com Search | 143,513 | 1.8% |
