Ask Jeeves searches in the second quarter rose 16 percent over the first quarter, to 250.9 million, while the number of AOL searches in the second quarter rose 15 percent over the first, to 646.6 million, according to Nielsen/NetRatings. Google maintained consistent growth but continues to lead the market, with a 47 percent share of all searches in June. Yahoo followed, with a 22 percent market share. MSN had 12 percent, followed by AOL with five percent. My Way, with a two percent market share, made its way into the top five rankings for the first time.
“While it’s far too early to say that Google needs to watch its back, a resurgent AOL makes the game a lot more interesting… My Way’s unique anti-advertising value proposition resonates with a small, but growing market niche,” said Ken Cassar, director of strategic analysis, Nielsen/NetRatings.
Image search was the main vertical driving the growth experienced by four of the top five search engines during Q2.
