In the first place is the most standard search on the Internet , which accounts for almost 80% of all visits. Next comes the search for pictures , then Gmail , Google Video and Google News . Only these resources were able to overcome the barrier of 1%.

I'd like to note that the Google Toolbar search panel site, Google Page Creator home page hosting, Google Analytics webmaster statistics service, Google Reader RSS aggregator and, quite unexpectedly, Google Blog Search blogs did not even overcome the necessary barrier. to get on this list.

It goes without saying that Google’s real-world traffic statistics are stored behind three locks within the company, and Hitwise only uses indirect methods to get information. You can visit the reports of various analytical companies that evaluate the popularity of search engines from a special page on the website searchenginewatch.com. For example, according to Nielsen // NetRatings, in September 2006 ( PDF ), half of all search queries were sent to Google, which is about 93 million per day.
