Live search more popular than Google according to Alexa
Posted by multippt
That’s Interesting… for months Google has stayed at the 2nd position, until today where it fell to the 4th position (taken from 15 Feb). Seems like Google had a fall in traffic in their main page, relative to other pages. Though, knowing Alexa to be pretty inaccurate at times, the rankings may not really hold true.
Live search overtakes Google?
Strange. For a long time, Live.com has been far below Google. Now, it has shot up to have more traffic than Google.com, could be due to Microsoft’s recent offers to buy Yahoo (which Yahoo rejects). This is pretty surprising, given that if Internet Explorer 7 cannot support the Alexa toolbar, it means that much of the Alexa rank comes from Firefox and Internet Explorer 6 users, so only 30% of the Internet is capable of determining the ranking of Live.com. It’s also even more interesting to note that Firefox users are less likely to use Live search, while Internet Explorer users are more likely to use it, due to the way Microsoft advertises its site.
