Just to clarify local search is when you search for something in a specific area. A good example would be if I was looking for a “Web Design Company” and wanted to find one in “San Diego, CA” I would search “Web Design San Diego”. Now look at these numbers… See anything shocking? Yea me too, Google is ahead of Yahoo! by only .6%! I was shocked when I first saw this simply because I just assumed Google being, well Google would dominate in most areas of search. Look at the numbers and let me know what you think.
Surprised with the numbers?

Phishie Diaz added these pithy words on Feb 22 07 at 1:23 amI am very surprised by this news. When I started reading the article I assumed Google would be ahead by at least 5%. But wow… only .6% here… well I guess this is a lesson learned that for some things we have to pay attention to other search engines too; not just the great Google Monster.
Cheers,
