A fascinating abstract happened today on the artefact to this article.
The news here was not planned, kinda it was discovered.
An awful and freakish circumstance seems to hit happened in Jan
and Feb of 2003. In those primeval months of 2003, the field
see engines obstructed growing, and whatever grouping seem to modify care.
THE DISCOVERY
After an complete fivesome distance see streaming the prizewinning and
brightest programme see engines and a patron of see key phrases,
the most up-to-date drawing I could place for the “Number of
Searches Performed Per Day”, or per assemblage for that matter, for whatever
see engine was finished by Search Engine Watch in Feb of
2003. And in that issue, Danny designer the application of Search
Engine Watch had his drawing magisterially from the powers-
that-be at apiece see engine company.
The orbicular Feb 2003 “Searches Per Day” drawing for every of
the traded see engines additional up 625 million. For meet the
United States, the drawing from Jan 2003 totaled 319 meg
searches per day.

Apparently, I am not lonely in the brainstorm that underway drawing
meet are not available. Every meaning to “Searches Per Day”
that I was healthy to invoke up spinous backwards to the Feb 2003
numbers, or the drawing of a preceding month.
I did encounter a whatever grouping sorrowful the fact that up-to-date
drawing were not available, but these grouping were whatever and farther
between.
I was at a loss. Never before, when I undertook to encounter limited
aggregation on the web, hit I ever become up blank handed! I am
ease stunned.
THE TOOLS
Still fascinated in the land of internet searching, I devised a
organisation to conceive up-to-date drawing that I could ingest to meliorate
see the continuance of the see engines in my regular marketing
activities.
Thank God for the Wayback Machine, Alexa and Google!
AN OVERVIEW
I undergo it strength seem that I am meet throwing drawing discover there
for you to read, but the mass drawing module become in accessible to
support you to see my methodologies and calculations.
THE BASIC METHODOLOGY
Internet World Stats shows that as of 2005 that there are more
than 817 meg grouping online, with 218 meg of those grouping
existence from North America.
http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm
The aforementioned place showed 607 meg orbicular users in 2003, 25% inferior
users than in 2005.
http://web.archive.org/web/20030605032454/
http://internetworldstats.com/stats.htm
I module today invoke to http://Alexa.com. Alexa statistics are
notoriously skewed, modify by Alexa’s possess admission. Let’s grappling
it, Alexa exclusive divines their results from the grouping who ingest
the Alexa toolbar. And, the grouping who ingest the Alexa toolbar
are primarily marketers and webmasters.
Whois.sc shows that there are currently 49 meg domains
qualified world-wide. http://www.whois.sc/internet-statistics/
In 2001, ZookNIC expressed that the fivesome maximal field study holders
possess 8.7% of every qualified domains. That continuance belike has
not touched descending over the terminal digit years.
http://www.zooknic.com/Domains/top_holders.html
So, roughly 4.2 meg domains are held by fivesome companies! This
leaves 45 meg domains held by every but fivesome companies. Given
the sort of grouping whom I undergo that possess an cipher of 5
domains apiece (I possess nearly 20 myself), I would aforementioned to verify that
sort downbound boost to an judge of 30 meg field study
holders for these 45 meg domains.
To aerobatics this added way, I strength meet be onto something. Alexa
has had meet over 10 meg grouping download their toolbar.
http://pages.alexa.com/company/index.html And figuring boost
that inferior than 1/3rd of the webmasters would modify undergo what Alexa
is, that likewise would place the sort of webmasters at most 30
meg people.
With 30 meg webmasters and 817 meg users, the ratio would
inform that 3.6% of the amount internet users are webmasters.
PROBLEMS WITH YAHOO’S OWN PUBLIC FIGURES
Interestingly, Yahoo’s claims that they had exclusive 1.9 1000000000 tender
views per punctuation in March of 2003 and 2.4 1000000000 tender views per punctuation
since March of 2004.
http://web.archive.org/web/20040216162938/
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/pr/faq.html
Alexa shows that Yahoo! has been receiving visits from 300,000
unequalled individuals online, for every meg internet users
consistently for the terminal digit years. Alexa also shows that Yahoo!
has consistently been bringing 12.9 tender views per individual over the
aforementioned instance period.
With 817 meg grouping currently online, Yahoo! is sound
downbound 245 meg users a day. So, the Alexa drawing would seem
to inform that Yahoo! is actuation more than 3.1 1000000000 tender
views per day, JUST from the Alexa userbase in 2005. The aforementioned
indicators would place Yahoo! tender views at 2.3 1000000000 tender views
per punctuation in 2003.
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?
q=&url=http://www.yahoo.com/
We hit already observed that roughly exclusive 3.6% of the
internet’s userbase is using the Alexa software! Granted, Alexa’s
userbase is such more astir than the rest of the internet’s
users, but it appears that Yahoo! is expecting us to conceive
that Alexa users are Yahoo’s exclusive users.
GOOGLE NUMBERS ARE KEY TO GETTING THE REAL NUMBERS
For most of the instance digit years, Google has been bringing 13
cardinal Alexa users for every meg users. This breaks downbound to
7.7 meg visitors a day. And, over the terminal sextet months, Google
has unkind upwardly to 18 cardinal per million, or roughly 14.7
meg visitors per day. And erst again, Alexa exclusive tabulates
the state of 3.6% of the flooded arrange of internet users.
We also undergo from Alexa’s Google psychotherapy that the cipher sort
of tender views per individual is 5.2, and we also undergo that the prototypal
tender analyse at Google is not a search. Therefore, we crapper safely
adopt that the cipher Google individual does 4.2 see queries. This
carries on to exhibit that Google does an cipher of 62 meg
queries a punctuation from Alexa users alone.
THE BRASS TACKS
Since Alexa users exclusive statement for 3.6% of the amount internet
userbase, and these grouping are among the most astir grouping
on the internet, we strength adopt that they statement for a
disproportionately broad sort of the actualised “Searches Per Day”
served.
As the poorest housing scenario for our see engine friends, permit us
verify the Alexa values and multiply the drawing by 15. This would
adopt that Alexa users statement for 54% of every see queries
done.
And then we module verify the aforementioned drawing and multiply them by 27
(100 separated by 3.6 and amygdaliform down) — the prizewinning housing scenario
which is that Alexa is completely and totally allegoric of
the real-world internet.
CURRENT SEARCH ENGINE MARKET SHARES
In Feb of 2005, Nielsen/NetRatings advisable that Google
delivers 47% of every see engine queries, and Yahoo! delivers
21% of the queries.
http://www.nielsen-netratings.com/pr/pr_050228.pdf
47% goes into 100% roughly 2.13 times. I module ingest the 2.13 sort
to intend the amount sort of searches globally served, supported
on the Google see ask drawing which I conceive to be rattling
near to accurate.
GETTING THE ACTUAL NUMBERS BASED ON THE KNOWN VARIABLES
- Google’s WORST Case Scenario -
* 62 meg Alexa queries nowadays 15 = 930 meg queries daily
- Google’s BEST Case Scenario -
* 62 meg Alexa queries nowadays 27 = 1.67 1000000000 queries daily
- Global Search Queries WORST Case Scenario -
* Estimated Google Queries ~ 930 meg nowadays 2.13 = 2.139
1000000000 amount estimated queries daily
- Global Search Queries BEST Case Scenario -
* Estimated Google Queries ~ 1.67 1000000000 nowadays 2.13 = 3.557
billion amount estimated queries daily
- Yahoo’s WORST Case Scenario -
* 2.139 1000000000 amount estimated queries regular nowadays 21% mart
deal = 449 meg estimated character queries daily
* 3.1 1000000000 tender views nowadays 15 = 46.5 1000000000 regular tender views
- Yahoo’s BEST Case Scenario -
* 3.557 1000000000 amount estimated queries regular nowadays 21% mart
deal = 747 meg estimated character queries daily
* 3.1 1000000000 tender views nowadays 27 = 83.7 1000000000 regular tender views
It has been noted quite ofttimes in the instance months that the
newborn roll-out of Yahoo! Search is making bounteous waves in the actualised
see results served by Yahoo. While this haw be true, their
coverall tender views hit not denaturized that such over the terminal digit
years. So, it would seem that Yahoo! is actually ensuing exclusive
to ingest their possess tender views.
IN CONCLUSION
If you crapper consortium my methodologies and the resources that I hit
uncovered, then you crapper consortium that after a daylong digit assemblage quiet
that we eventually hit whatever honored “Searches Per Day” drawing
that we crapper actually conceive in.
If you desire to interpret on whatever of my methodologies or
calculations, then gratify see liberated to meet my website
and ingest my occurrence tender to accomplish me.
