A recent Search Engine Report article reports that Jupiter Media Metrix and Nielsen//NetRatings have developed new means to determine the popularity of search engines. These new ratings indicate that Google is clearly the most frequently used search engine.

"Search Hours"

These new ratings are based on a new measure "Search Hours," which not only looks at the number of people visiting a site but also the average amount of time each visitor spends there. This differs from the more traditional means to ranks search sites' popularity, such as "audience reach," which records the percentage of the Internet audience that visits a site in a given month, without taking note of the number of times that each visitor spends at a site or the number of searches that they perform while they are there.
