Why is this important? According to comScore’s Press Release on the December 2009 U.S. Search Engine Rankings, the following is an indication of how much traffic is on the search engines:
“In the December analysis of the top properties where search activity is observed, Google Sites led the search market with more than 14.0 billion search queries, followed by Yahoo! Sites with 2.6 billion queries and Microsoft Sites with 1.6 billion searches. Bing experienced large growth during the month with a 6-percent increase in query volume to nearly 1.4 billion searches.”

According to The Kelsey Group, a Princeton, NJ based Research Company:
70% of U.S. households now use the Internet as an information source when shopping locally for products and services.
