Report: Yahoo Search Share increases After Firefox Deal, Google decreases



Digital Marketing Agency, Yahoo has seen a nearly 2 point search market share gain in the US in the past month, according to new data from StatCounter.  StatCounter, attributing it to the recent Yahoo-Firfox default search deal, reported that Yahoo had a share of 10.4 percent vs. 8.6 percent a year ago.

Google’s December share was 75.2 percent and Bing 12.5 percent. Google had a 67 percent share, Bing 19.6 percent and Yahoo 10.2 percent in the US, according to the most recent data available from comScore, which pre-dates the Firefox deal.

StatCounter described Yahoo’s post-Firefox position as its “highest US search share since 2009,” saying by comparison that Google was at its lowest share “yet recorded by StatCounter.”
