Top Search Engines.
Are you wondering which search engines are the most popular in the USA and in the world today? Have a look at the list below and you might find a few surprises.
Google is, of course, still the most used search engine among the America base, or English language centered, search engines, but Yahoo, Bing, Ask, WOW and AOL still get a good slice of the cake. In fact, these 5 smaller search engines rack up an estimated 1,1 billion unique monthly users, not far from Google-s mighty 1,6 billion users. AOL owns engadget.com, HuffingtonPost.com and other popular sites, which boosts their search numbers.
However, Google’s dominance is made clear, if you factor in YouYube users. If you count Youtube as a stand-alone search engine, it would actually rank second on the list with around 1 billion unique monthly users. That is more than the Bing, Yahoo and Ask combined numbers.
