comScore Search Engine Rankings for June 2009

Posted By Bill Hartzer on July 20, 2009at 10:11 am

comscorecomScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR) , a leader in measuring the digital world, has recently released its monthly comScore qSearch analysis of the United States search marketplace. This is the first time we’re seeing data that includes the new search engine Bing.com. Google has 65 percent market share, Yahoo! has 19.6 percent marketshare, and Microsoft has 8.4 percent market share.

According to comScore, “In June 2009, Americans conducted more than 14 billion core searches, with Google Sites accounting for 65.0 percent search market share. Microsoft Sites grabbed 8.4 percent market share, a 0.4 percentage point gain versus May, after introducing its new search engine, Bing.”

Here is the actual data, as reported by comScore:

Bing.com, the new Microsoft-owned search engine, has taken away some of the Yahoo! search traffic, but it appears that it still isn’t biting into Google’s search traffic at all. If you’re interested in reading more about Bing.com’s search engine market share, here are a few links:
