Google Posts Another Double Digit Increase

Search engine giant Google posted another double digit increase in search queries according to Nielsen/NetRatings.

The total number of searches in October exceeded 5.1 billion.

The average increase for all major search engines was 15 percent across the same period. Though a small percentage of total search queries, the highest rate of growth came from Ask Jeeves which grew at a rate of 77 percent over last year.

Google was the source of 47.7 percent of all searches, Yahoo second at 21.8 percent, and MSN came in third at 11.3 percent.
