Nielsen/Netratings yesterday released their USA search stats for November and the net for year over year number of searches (in provider rank order) is:
- Google +33%
- Yahoo +27%
- MSN/Windows Live Search -12%
- AOL +11%
- Ask.com +33%
It’s one thing to lose share, but MSN/Windows Live Search actually lost traffic while the overall search volume grew and that is the the same story as in October and recent prior months as well. It’s not a pretty picture considering how much effort Microsoft has put into Windows Live Search.
