Yahoo sites were in the second spot with 15.9% (gain of 0.2 percentage points) and Bing sites followed closely with 14.1% (gain of 0.2 percentage points) indicating that with each passing month Microsoft powered searches are steadily increasing their hold on the search market place while Google looses a little or makes no significant growth.
Ask Network was at the fourth spot with 3% followed by AOL, Inc with 1.5% of the explicit core searches.
Of the 16.2 billion explicit core searches conducted alone in April 2011, Google sites led with 10.7 billion searches with Yahoo sites accounting for 2.6 billion, Microsoft sites for 2.3 billion searches, Ask Network for 491 million and AOL Inc for 248 million searches respectively.
