Search Engine & Directory Use Statistics

"The art of estimating how many are online throughout the world is an inexact one at best. Surveys abound, using all sorts of measurement parameters. However, from observing many of the published surveys over the last two years, here is an ‘educated guess’ as to how many are online worldwide as of September 1999. And the number is 201 million." -- NUA Internet Surveys


When asked what search engines/directories Web surfers had used in the past few months this is what was found:

Yahoo! 90.0%
Alta Vista 81.9%
Excite 69.6%
Lycos 67.0%
Infoseek 63.9%
HotBot 57.0%
WebCrawler 38.5%
MetaCrawler 21.4%
