Thread: Yahoo tops in Japan, Google close behind

According to ComScore's qSearch data, 5.9 billion searches were conducted in Japan in September and the average person searched 96 times during the month. Yahoo led the way in search query volume with 3 billion searches and 51 percent market share, but Google wasn't far behind with 2.3 billion searches and 39 percent market share. Microsoft, which makes the third-most popular search engine in the U.S., only mustered 90 million queries during the month to take the fourth spot in the country behind Japan-based Rakuten.

Alright, im glad Yahoo is doing well in some places.

oh tht's good tht yahoo is in top in japan atleast ......the main i don't like about yahoo is speed.....it has lot of banners n all stuff....so it take much time to load.....

Yahoo! is not that much weak if we see, It has power atlast we all consider it as a second most powerful thing in www after Google.

yea but i think they just wants to become 2nd only they compete with google if they work hard.....but don't know what they are thinking.....

i don't think they will ever think of competing with google after the microsoft bid and all yahoo gained help from google to recover itself it's searching algorithms and all....

I think after watching these stat Google starts creating new strategy esp. for Japan in acquiring market height.

It's good that Yahoo is on top at Japan. But i am agree with pawan that Google applies some new strategies for become more and more successful

Yahoo could nourish to be close to Google; I think their management is very weak in strategy.

Yea, sooner or later Google will start something that will probably end up having a strong base in china and then Yahoo wont be so special.

oh wow i was thinking that google must be leading in search but i was glad to see that yahoo has left behind google in japan but google is also giving yahoo a good competition

Yeah! Yahoo is not so small as we think of. Google has to fight there in Japan with Yahoo!

Hope it's will do better in other country as well.

I don't believe they will ever think of competing with google after the microsoft bid and everything yahoo benefitted assist from google to retrieve itself it's searching algorithms and everything....
