Search market growing at 'extraordinary rate' Number of internet searches rose by 46 per cent worldwide in 2009.
Companies that use corporate video productions will be pleased to know that the use of search engines has rocketed in the last month.
According to the latest comScore report, 46 per cent more online searches were made globally in 2009 compared to the previous year.
"The global search market continues to grow at an extraordinary rate, with both highly developed and emerging markets contributing to the strong growth worldwide," said Jack Flanagan, comScore executive vice president.
Google continued to dominate the search engine market with its sites accounting for two-thirds of 131 billion searches conducted worldwide in December.
More searches originated from the US than any other country with an annual rise of 22 per cent. However, the UK came in fourth and saw searches go up by 35 per cent during the year.
"Search is clearly becoming a more ubiquitous behavior among Internet users that drives navigation not only directly from search engines but also within sites and across networks," said Mr Flanagan.
Earlier this month, American business magazine Forbes claimed that online video productions are one of the best ways to boost search engine optimisation.
