    I don't have any official "facts" & "figures" ...

    In the irish market I think Google would be the major player.

    One of my more popular sites has the following stats for example
    google (organic) 68.13%
    (direct) ((none)) 10.22%
    yahoo (organic) 2.60%
    msn < 0.80%

    I think though it will depend on the target market ... in the uk for example I find the yahoo % slightly higher

    Then if the people you are dealing with are technology based you might find they aren't using yahoo / msn at all.

    As Forbairt says, it depends on the target market.

    I wrote a blog post related to this recently:
