Google Blog Search Passes Technorati

by Gilad on December 29th, 2006

g_bsrch_logo.gifGoogle’s Blog Search is gaining market share while top blog search provider Technorati is losing it, this is according to stats made public recently by Hitwise.

This week Hitwise data show that the market share of visits to Google Blog Search surpassed visits to Technorati for the week ending 12/23/06. Google Blog Search began catching up to Technorati in October, when Google placed a link to Blog Search on the Google News home page, causing a 168% surge in market share for Google Blog Search over a two week period (week ending 10/14/06 vs. week ending 10/28/06). Since then, approximately 60% of Google Blog Search’s traffic has been coming directly from Google News, compared to less than 1% before the change.

The article also notes that Sphere, while being very small, has been showing growth in recent months.
