Google Sees Fifty Times More Traffic From iPhones Than Others
Written by admin on February 15th, 2008 in devices and gadgets.
Google’s logs show that more searches are coming from the iphone than any other mobile device. How much more? Fifty times more. Google’s Vic Gundotra told the Financial Times that “We thought it was a mistake and made our engineers check the logs again”.
This is to be expected. The iPhone makes the web easy to use on a mobile device, and every customer has a bundled data plan. In the US, AT&T says that iPhone users burn through double the data of other customers.
It also shows the growth of mobile search, and the potential revenues for Google, something of which the search giant is fully aware. Despite losing it’s contract to supply T-Mobile’s phones with search, Gundotra remains confident:
The world is changing. Users want an internet without fences. They know how to type in Google.com if they want to get to it.
Maybe. But then why is Yahoo one of the top search terms on Google?
