#5 Yahoo Blames Google for Market Share Dip

Date: October 14, 2010

Yahoo failed to perform well in last year’s ComScore report on market share value, and Sashi Seth, the Senior VP of Yahoo! search and marketplaces could find only one reason for that- Google. He accused Google of giving the research firm misleading figures and manipulating the search counts with its new automated search results format, Google Instant. OK, leave all that, what about the 200 million less queries Yahoo generated compared to Google at that time? Atleast he did not blame Google for that too.
