    HI Manoj,

    Again, as I commented on your blog a while ago, Hitwise is off the mark with the Google figure. I have analyzed and continue analyzing dozens of web site data, and the Google Share is closer to 85% than the Hitwise numbers would suggest. I think it's because they don't take Google's non-USA properties into account.

    Hi Jacques,

    I would probably agree with you. What do you think of the comScore numbers which give Google even less market share?
