2007 In Numbers: iGoogle Google’s Homegrown Star Performer This

2007 was another big year for Google with the company growing to become America’s fifth largest listed stock (by market cap) whilst continuing its march towards world domination.

According to figures from comScore Google traffic increased 22.42% this year across its main web properties (excluding non-US sites and acquired sites such as YouTube). The star performer for the year was Google’s personalized start page service iGoogle which increased traffic in the 12 months to November by 267.64%. Other strong performers included Google Book Search up 54.66%, Gmail up 53.6% and Google Maps up 51.57%.

It would appear that users aren’t using Google to buy goods, with Google’s worst performer in 2007 being Google Product Search (shopping), down a whopping 73.26%. Google Scholar search dropped 32.14% and perhaps oddly in a year that Google added YouTube videos to its index, Google Video search dropped 11.82%.

Google’s core search engine still remains the most highly trafficked part of Google with other products a long distance behind. Google’s most popular products in order of traffic for 2007 were: search, image search, Gmail, Google Maps and Google News.

Google群星闪耀 iGoogle最亮眼

 
        2007 是Google又一个伟大的一年，它已经成为美国第五大上市股票公司，并继续着它迈向世界高峰的脚步。

       数据表明，Google主页的流量在今年上升了22.42%。而Google内部最闪亮的当属Google个性化网页服务：iGoogle，在过去的12个月里流量增加了267.64%。其他有着优异表现的包括Google Book Search——上升了54.66%，Gmail上升了53.6%，Google Maps上升了51.57%。

       看起来用户并不太喜欢通过Google来买东西，因为2007年Google表现最差的是Google Product Search，流量下降了73.26%，Google Scholar搜索下降了32.14%，或许是因为将YouTube加到了索引中，Google Video下降了11.82%。

       与Google的其他产品相比，Google的核心搜索引擎仍然高居流量首位并遥遥领先。2007年，Google人气最高的产品是：搜索、图片搜索、Gmail、Google Maps、Google News。
