Google in the end how much? Google how many users?

Editor's note: foreign technology blog Pingdom recently wrote again to the theme of Google, trying to analyze its size and the number of users, the following is the full text.

Facebook has had a lot of discussion of how large, it has 600 million users. It has indeed become a force to be reckoned with. However, there let Facebook trivial, that is Google!

The problem is to estimate how much Google actually is very difficult. But we try anyway.

Because Facebook is an independent website, so to grasp its size (the so-called scale, referring to the number of people using it) is relatively easy. But for Google it is not so easy, because it is not just a site Google.com.

Give us a general concept, the following is Google's top 100 websites worldwide.

Now let's see how Google could be about to estimation.

Google Search

First, let us look at Google Search. Of course, according to Alexa ranking, we know that Google.com is the world's most visited sites.

However, the only concern Google.com for Google is not fair. Because almost all countries have local Google Search. More than 180 kinds of localized Google have their own domain name.

We can see from Figure 1, the localization of Google Search very popular. In addition to Google.com, there are 16 sites ranked the world's top 100.

We do not ignore those small Google Web search, such as Google News (News), Google Finance (Finance and Economics), Image Search (Image Search) and so on. These are part of the Google Search.

Overall, according to StatCounter statistics, Google Desktop search engines have occupied 90% market share.

Editor's Note: Figure 2 generated by Market Share Statistics, although Google's share of the market than the proportion StatCounter statistics of 90% is slightly lower, but well-deserved first. According to last year we have in this article, with pictures, can know the ratio of Google's search market share from the 83.34 percent rise to 84.46 percent, while Yahoo and Baidu fell 1.27 percent and the distribution of 0.66%, Bing rose 0.66 percent.

In addition, mobile search, which is completely dominated by Google. For most smart phones, Google is the default search engine, including Apple's iPhone and Google's own Android. In this regard, Google's market share reached an alarming 97%!

In the end how many users are using Google Search?

Internet users worldwide, about 2 billion, if you remove the current relationship with Google rigid China, there are still more than 1.5 billion. If you tell Google Search have at least one billion users on the Internet, you will find it unrealistic? We do not think so.

But Google is not just search.

The size of Google's other services

Although it is difficult to give an exact figure, but it can make judgments based on the following several Google main services:

YouTube

The world's largest online video service. Just the YouTube website, there are 500 million monthly visits. Moreover, 82% of blog embedded video from YouTube (or two years ago, this data).

Blogger

Blogger is one of the world's largest blog platform. In 2010, the platform has a total of more than 400 million readers.

Orkut

Orkut is Google's first foray into social networking, but also the most successful one. The site has more than 100 million active users worldwide. In fact, if you count website visits per day, Orkut second only to Facebook, while in second place (though the gap with the first large), active users on Orkut come from Brazil and India.

Google Maps (map)

Aside as the most widely used map services and is included in a number of different network service did not say, it is also in a dominant position in the smartphone. Apple's iOS also use Google Maps, Android typically integrate a large number of Google products, including maps.

Gmail

Google's e-mail service, it is estimated there are about 200 million users.

Google Apps (applications)

Google Docs (documents), Spreadsheet (spreadsheets) s, Calendar (calendar) as well as other Google Apps its network applications (including Gmail) more and more popular. Although we do not know the number of users, but their coverage will become more significant.

Android

Google's Android OS is the world's fastest growing smartphone platform, increased by more than 350,000 new devices (more than 10 million per month) per day. Google Android is more like a platform for other goods and services, such as: Maps, mail, search and so on.

Chrome

Google's Chrome browser in just a few years, the market share is growing rapidly. According to StatCounter statistics, now it has a 17% market share.

Other intangible assets

Google has many different types of services, resulting in all it is very difficult to control. For we have listed, I would like to add a few:

Feedburner - RSS hosting the world's largest service website;
Google Reader - world's most popular RSS reader;
Google Analytics - the world's highest rates of web analytics services;
There are these advertising products: Adsense, Adwords ,, DoubleClick, Admob and so on.
Other products and services Google occupied market share chart, please refer to horses online compilation of last year in two articles: "Google how to rule Web", "Google is how to collect Internet information", which you can also know why Google can There are so many unparalleled territory on the network and the Internet.

So, Google in the end how much?

Finally, let us try to estimate how many people use Google's products and services.

As we have already mentioned, we guess just use Google Search users will reach at least one billion people. However, Google will not just search, so its products will be exposed to most Internet users. Indeed, if you do not use Google's a product, you can use the Internet for how long?

Even a little bit unfair for Google to remove China, its user base close to 1.5 billion.

In short: Google's entire user base should be between 10 to 1,500,000,000, depending on how you want to calculate.

This of course is just our guess. There will be many overlapping customer base in a variety of Google products, but we have no way to know the exact number.

Conclusion

Google.com alone had been shocking. Coupled with all other web content we listed, obviously, we soon found that Google is the Internet's worthy of the king. They may have some problems in the social sphere, at least compared with the Facebook there is a problem. But we can not forget the other things they do, and they do well!
