Google Slides a Bit in December

ComScore today released their numbers for December 2007 and Google took a bit of a slide. Here's what happened in December:

  • Google dropped 0.2% from 58.6% to 58.4% of the market share

  • Yahoo! gained ground, up 0.5% from 22.4% to 22.9% market share

  • Microsoft heald steady at 9.8%

  • Time Warner gained 0.1% market share getting 4.6%

  • And Ask (sorry guys) lost ground going from 4.6% to 4.3% of the search market share

Also interesting to note is that overall search volume dropped in December, down 3.9% from November (apparently people feel the need to pry themselves away from their computer and perhaps chat with offline friends over the holidays :)

You can view the full press release on the ComScore site here.

We have updated the numbers used by our free keyword activity tool to reflect these new numbers.
