SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Google Inc.'s share of the U.S. Internet
search market dipped a full percentage point in July when compared to
June's total, according to research released Friday by comScore
Networks Inc.
While Google's (GOOG : news, chart, profile ) still the dominant
provider of Internet search both in the U.S. and worldwide, what
comScore noted Friday has some ominous overtones for the Mountain View,
Calif.-based firm, Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. analyst Robert Peck wrote in
a note to clients Friday.
"We think (the) loss in domestic market share could signal a topping
point" for Google, he wrote. "We do not expect Google's aggressive
market share gains to continue in perpetuity."
According to comScore, 43.7% of all search queries conducted in the
United States in July used a Google search engine, down from the 44.7%
attributed to Google the month before.
Meanwhile, Google's loss was its competitors' gain.
ComScore reports No. 2 Internet search engine Yahoo Search, from Yahoo
Inc., (YHOO : news, chart, profile ) saw its share of U.S. Internet
search queries increase to 28.8% in July from 28.5% the month before.
Meanwhile search engine AOL's U.S. share was up to 5.9% in July from
the 5.6% it garnered in June, comScore notes.
Also soaking up Google's U.S. losses was Ask, owned by IAC Search &
Media (IACI : news, chart, profile ) . The Ask search engine's U.S.
market share rose to 5.4% in July from 5.1% in June, comScore reported.

No. 3 search engine MSN from Microsoft Corp. (MSFT : news, chart,
profile ) retained its 12.8% share of the U.S. market in July, comScore
reported.

I read that a couple of days ago and thought that the change was too small to
be statitically-valid. The article's author, however, went out of his/her
way to make it an eye-catching headline. Another example that I saw just 20
minutes ago...

That's a good one! I read about the connections between GMail and SPAM, but
thought it was a baseless and grossly-exaggerated accusation.

To be fair, the vast majority of SPAM (over 80%) is being sent from hijacked
Windows PC's (I can link to studies). The majority is the global E-mail
traffic is, as a matter of fact, 'spewage' from Windows XP. DDOS attacks
likewise. And it's not getting any better.

Just deleted 18000 emails that bombarded my server.

Interesting that Google itself is using IP delivery cloaking.
