This is the question that has troubled many business proprietors and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) experts alike. Google is the leading search engine in the world and performs over 60% of all searches in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. Google is so dominant it has even cornered the non English speaking market with it's regional Google search engines. There are still of course other search engines still vying for the remaining searches such as Yahoo! (with a 18% share), MSN/Live (with a 4% share), and Ask (with a 3% share), but their search engine share shows that they make little more then minor dents in Google's dominanace. In the early years before Google came to the fore there where other search engines with a respectable share of the search market such as Altavista, Excite and Dogpile but these seems to have become almost obsolete.
