Google's Share of Searches Falling? Or Increasing?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the damn-liars-and-statisticians dept.

prostoalex writes "Get two research companies in the room, and you'll likely end up with three opinions. Bear Sterns quotes ComScore Networks data, which says that Google's share of searches is slipping, down to 36.9% in June 2005. WebSideStory, a Web research company, on the other hand, claims that in June 2005 Google hit a new record as far as share of searches, hitting 52%, and leaving rivals far behind."

    So if I see some arbitrary absurdity on a line chart than it cancels all meaning of all other studies?

    The bombers in london are clones of a jesus elvis hybrid borne in the utero sacks of a obese ronald reagan transexual behometh that weighs more than everyone in Washington DC. Here I have a chart.

    What?

    I'm dead serious, I've used google for 100% of my searching since a few years. I used to use Yahoo quite a bit but Google is just faster and for the most part more relevent.

    Who are these people who use msn search, yahoo, altavisa, etc???
