"Yahoo!'s (nasdaq: YHOO - news - people ) results were largely in-line with expectations, with revenues at the mid-point of guidance. However, given expectations in the stock, even 41% organic growth apparently disappointed the market," said the research firm. According to Banc of America, the revenue-per-search metric was higher in the second quarter than the first. "While pricing trends in the second quarter were generally unchanged from prior quarters, revenue-per-search rose in the mid to high single digits." The research firm said that Yahoo!’s market share of searches has been near 30%, "making it a solid No. 2 in the query market." Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) is the industry leader, with an approximate 37% share. With 15% to 16% market share, Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people )'s MSN is third, according to qSearch. chicken recipes World Famous Recipes Chicken Recipes Cash Advance Payday Loans Famous Recipes
