Interesting round of discussion going on over Google’s “actual” search engine market share on Techmeme.

Fitting, since Nielsen Net Ratings came out with its November numbers:

Google - 49%
Yahoo! - 24.3%
MSN - 8.2%
AOL - 6.2%
Ask - 2.6%
MyWay - 2.3%
Dogpile - 1%
Earthlink + BellSouth + Comcast - 1%

Of note, MSN’s share fell 12%.  Ask grew 33% but is still tiny.  Google and Yahoo! grew 33 and 27% respectively.

These are for US only, so there were 6.2B searches in the USA during November. 

Of note, as of August 2006, the Internet user population was 207 million in the US, so roughly, each user conducts 30 searches per month, or one per day.

Man, I am a freaking outlier.

Hmm… sometimes I think it’s crazy to have launched MetaMojo.com, but then again, vertical search is supposed to “take off in 2007.”
