Canadians Are More Active Online Searchers Than Their U.S. Counterparts, According to comScore Networks

comScore qSearch, the Industry Leading Search Measurement Service, Now Available for the Canadian Market

TORONTO, Ont., May 13, 2004 comScore Networks, the leader in the use of the Internet to measure and understand consumer behavior, today announced the launch of qSearch Canada. comScore qSearch is the only information service to track usage of online search engines by analyzing actual search queries across the top search engines and portals. Since its launch in April 2003, qSearch has become the standard in online search measurement, providing the leading search engines, marketers, government agencies, financial analysts and journalists with the most accurate and granular measurement of the online search marketplace.
A qSearch analysis of the online search market in Canada found that Canadian residents are more active users of search engines than their U.S. counterparts. Approximately 85 percent of the Canadian Internet population conducted at least one search at the top engines each month, compared to 73 percent of the U.S. population. Not only are Canadian Internet users more likely to use a search engine, they also search more frequently than the average U.S. user. In April 2004, Canadian residents conducted approximately 575 million searches at major engines, or 40 searches per search engine user. By comparison, U.S. Internet users conducted approximately 3.6 billion searches per month, or 35 searches per searcher, on average in March 2004.

Business Brokerage With more than 60 percent of home users accessing the Web through a broadband connection, it didnt surprise us to find that Canadians are more frequent search engine users, said Brent Lowe-Bernie, president of comScore Media Metrix Canada. These numbers should offer a clear indication to search providers and marketers that Canada is fertile market for search engine advertising.

In the U.S., search marketing has grown to become the single largest segment of online advertising revenue, accounting for 35 percent of total Internet advertising spending in 20034. With qSearch data showing that Canadians are heavier online searchers than Americans, clearly a similar opportunity for commercialization exists in Canada.
