March traffic stats are in: even MS+Yahoo no match for Google

Barrons Tech Trader Daily is quoting Hitwise’s figures for March.  These figures show growth for Google’s search and declines for both Yahoo! and Microsoft.  Google gained a little over 3% over the past year while Microsoft lost more than 2%.  Can Google be outdone?  I am starting to wonder.

The US figures:
Google: 67.25% (up from 64.13% a year ago)
Yahoo!: 20.29% (down from 21.26% a year ago)
Microsoft: 6.65% (down from 9.01% a year ago)

Ask.com also declined.  If information is king, how can a company that is not as big as Google dethrone the champ?  Better algorithms?  Catchy marketing?  Maybe with moves like this, they’ll find a way to blow it…
