Yesterday we posted a press release about a co-branding relationship with the great (corrected) folks at SEOmoz.
Today, I’m happy to let you know that we’re going to be releasing Enquisite Pro - a major upgrade and update to Enquisite’s search analytics service. Due to really tight deadlines, existing Enquisite users will be converted over, and get the option to use Enquisite Pro as of Monday March 16, which coincidentally is the first day of SES NYC.

When search engine market share numbers get published, they generally reflect Google’s overall numbers, Yahoo’s overall numbers, etc. I was chatting with an Enquisite user this morning, and realized that when our users look at their reports, they get to see much more detailed breakdowns. For example, they can look at search engine search traffic from the U.S. alone, and then see google.com v google.ca v yahoo.com v yahoo.ca. That’s valuable. But whenever I have published breakdowns, I’ve always just noted it as “Google” along with Google Images, Google New, etc, never the breakdowns into national TLD’s.
So, we pulled through our database of queries since January, and bring you this highlight, based on almost 100M queries..
Sites in our network which received a search referral from a searcher located in the U.S. used this version of Google:
| google.com
images.google.com
local.google.com
froogle.com
news.google.com
google.ca
maps.google.com
google.uk
blogsearch.google.com
google.jp
google.in |
92.19%
4.19%
1.80%
0.43%
0.39%
0.32%
0.14%
0.08%
0.07%
0.07%
0.03% |
Obviously, users in the U.S. went to Google.com more often than any other Google property. But look at Canada below for a usage comparison.
| google.ca
google.com
images.google.ca
images.google.com
google.fr
news.google.ca
local.google.ca
google.uk
news.google.com
local.google.com
maps.google.com |
76.62%
18.86%
2.77%
0.47%
0.30%
0.18%
0.17%
0.11%

The national tld is still dominant, but froogle is absent, (not surprising considering it never took off in Canada), and Google.fr shows up at #5.

I’ll be posting more numbers next week, but I just received a search engine breakdown update for Feb 1-13. I’m looking at the data, and I’m noticing a strong shift in Ask’s and Yahoo’s marketshares since December 20.
In January, I posted breakdowns from the December time period, and had noted changes to Yahoo starting on December 20. The trends have continued. The rate of change has flattened, but Yahoo’s held on, and continue to gain.
Yahoo’s growth has been more dramatic in the U.S , than elsewhere; it may be the result of various factors; interface changes (for the first time in years, I find Yahoo’s interface appealing), better distribution, or a combination of factors.
Send us your feedback, and comments on changes you’ve noticed.

A user and I were talking the other day. He said to me: “You know the Wanamaker quote: Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don’t know which half.†?
Of course, I replied - I think we’ve all heard it.
“Well with Enquisite - I now know which half!” was his next line.
That’s the kind of feedback that makes any entrepreneur happy.
