Google Has A Monopoly On Web Searches - Denver SEO Marketing Agency

You may have noticed that we here at Supernova tend to emphasize getting websites on the first page of Google. Maybe you’re wondering: Why Google? Why not Bing or Yahoo or that good old fashioned Ask Jeeves (now known as ask.com)?

The answer is simple. Google essentially has a monopoly when it comes to searching the web, at least in America. A lot of people like to throw around inaccurate numbers when it comes to what percentage of the population uses Google as there preferred search engine. We at Supernova prefer to search out the facts using reliable and valid data. The fact of the matter is, Google accounts for over 90% of the US search market share.

Many people say it is only 70%, and that is partially true. The 70% does not account for the additional 20% coming Google image searches. Add it all up and, and Google owns 9 out of every 10 web searches. What about Bing and Yahoo you may be wondering. Check out the detailed results here: Jumpshot’s Latest Data
