Increase in market share does not necessarily mean approval of G. It could just as reasonably reflect an even greater discontment with other SE's.

I would even suggest that beyond some point there is an inverse relationship between market share and goodwill. I think things will really start to get hairy when that point is reached in the US.

Another question is whether or not search engines own organic traffic. Some posters make it seem as if search engines create traffic and then kindly donate it to webmasters.

If you do a search, do you have the feeling the search engine owns your behaviour?
