DON'T BE ALARMED: Even though Google's share of US online search referrals was 75.2%, down from 79.3% a year earlier and its lowest since 2008, Google nevertheless remains the US leader in the search market by a wide margin, ahead of Microsoft
NEW YORK: Google saw its share of the US Internet search market slip to its lowest ever mark, while Yahoo! notched its highest share in five years, an independent analytics firm said.
In December, Google handled 75.2% of US online search referrals, down from 79.3% a year earlier. That score is its lowest since 2008, when StatCounter started tracking the data.
