The internet company Google has extended its lead in search queries in the USA. According to SDA, the market research company Comscore reported on Wednesday that Google's market share in March amounted to 63.7 percent of 14.3 billion search queries in the USA. Rival Yahoo, on the other hand, lost ground slightly, reaching 20.5 percent compared to 20.6 percent in February. Microsoft achieved a 0.1 percent higher share of 8.3 percent.
Yahoo and Google wanted to enter into an advertising alliance in 2008, but this failed due to resistance from the antitrust authorities. Former Yahoo boss Jerry Yang also rejected a takeover offer from Microsoft for almost 50 billion dollars. According to reports, Yahoo wants to lay off hundreds of employees again. The plan could be announced as early as next Tuesday when the quarterly figures are presented, according to a person familiar with the matter.
