Hello

I did read the whole discussion and I am thinking that the numbers presented are rather estimates then figures based on a real research. If I got it wrong I am sorry.

Is there any organisation that presents reliable source in terms of search engine market share.

Regards

Voyteck

That information simply isn't available. All search engines want to claim as big a share of the market as possible - so you can't trust any numbers that they give. Most don't provide any numbers at all.

ISPs might be able to extrapolate from their usage numbers, and networks of sites can extrapolate from their referrers to some extent.

if you need a more fair and accurate representation of UK engines - buy hitwise!

You'll never get the really accurate figures but this is about as good as you'll get!
