Google's share of search market shoots up!

Google gained an additional 6 percentage points of the US search market based on total queries, widening its lead last month against Yahoo and Microsoft 's MSN, according to data just released.

Google's share of the search market rose to 42.3% in February from 36.3% a year earlier, according to data from tracking firm ComScore.

Searches on Yahoo Internet sites represented 27.6% of the market, down from 31.1% a year earlier, while queries on MSN fell to 13.5% from 16.3%. And some pundits are predicting that Google's share could even go right up to 70% in the US.

The only other search engine that saw any growth in their market share was Ask.com. It proves the value of their latest innovations as well as search engine specialists versus broader portals.

Hey, Google's share could even near Microsoft's share of the PC O/S market with Windows?! Now that'd be a huge boost to Google. It'll help their ad revenues as well. Wall St will applaud it when they wake up tomorrow.
