I like that they always include the info about the types of queries. Interesting.

One word queries increased because of Google's auto-complete no doubt. Still, these reports never seem to mirror what I'm actually seeing on my websites for some reason.

looking at the report it's basically "no change". G wins some, B wins others. The surprise is why Y is ranking anywhere at all. I'm in the UK (apologies for the massive G dominance here) but who on earth is still using Y?
Changing the habits of Jo Public is a massive uphill task.

Interesting. But can anyone point me to stats on the real numbers (not percentages)? 65% is all very well, but is it 65% of a massively declining market? I can't help feeling people are increasingly using other routes to get to their destination. To what extent is search losing out as a conduit for people getting to whatever they're looking for? Hitwise, as usual, doesn't say.

Many of the people who are using their telecoms ( ISP) provided search..
Many companies in the UK ( and elsewhere ) provide/use Y search ( as Y "search partners" ) due to having search "feeds" on their sites from Y ( some are old overture feeds ) ..these will show up as Y searches ..even though the actual results provider is Bing..

Those stats are for US searches. It says that in the first line.

Freedom - yes I know it's US figures. In the UK, as I mention Google is tops.
I'm just surprised that any country is favouring Y. But a previous poster enlightened me, it may not really be Yahoo, just recorded by Hitwise as Yahoo.

My own site stats agree with nomis5. As it would reduce our dependecy on G this is one area where I would love us to copy the US.
