Google remains the search engine King

For me personally, there really is no choice when it comes to online searches. I just love Google and I pretty much use it exclusively, but Yahoo! is still hanging in there with a pretty sizable chunk of the search engine market.

According to ComScore, Google captured 59.2% of the overall search engine market in February. This was a slight rise from January as Google extended its control from a previous 58.5% in January.

Since the beginning of Google I have been a fan, but I really started to appreciate it a couple years ago after I started work with AOL on BloggingStocks, and most recently my own stock page, Stock Investing. I really fell in love with the Google News page and I use that website more than almost any other site online. It is definitely the best resource I know of for finding breaking news on just about any company I am looking at.

Here are how the other major search engines ranked:

Google : 59.2%
Yahoo! : 21.6%
Microsoft: 9.6%
AOL : 4.9%

It is a bit disappointing for me to see AOL so low, but then again I don’t ever use AOL for searching so I am not helping the matter either. Having said that, when it comes to finding stock prices, and market news I always head to AOL Money & Finance, which I honestly think is the best performing money page out there.

For Google… congratulations… it’s good to be king!
