China the most recent report by Analysys International indicates, Google has a 29.1% market share and Baidu at 61.6% at the end of June 2009. “The strategies of major search engine operators show that mobile search and mobile Internet have become their new focuses. In addition, because search engines have been recognized as important entrances for e-commerce, especially for the Internet retail sector, these search engine companies have enhanced their penetration into this sector.”

What about Spain and Norway ?.
Spain and Norway also have important Google shares – but it is a shame that they’re not here true. http://www.kvasir.no/ now belongs to Eniro in Sweden – and they’re doing some interesting stuff.
Nice comparison, but what’s up with russia?
The point about Russia is that Yandex remains the leading search engine with Google having little affected its position. Google has overtaken Rambler – the former number two search engine. To miss out Russia and China from the above figures means they are missing a huge slice of the world out of the figures.
