Goog's 60% market share is understated, too. Yahoo and Bing often point search results back to their own networks (Yahoo & MSN respectively). So third parties like Mahalo probably see Google driving much more than 60% of their search traffic on average.

For me Google usually brings 88-92% of SE traffic, that's the same for most people. Google is understating their market share, because essentially they have a monopoly, and if that was widely known, they'd be regulated in no time.

I normally see north of 80 on the sites I work with, but I have never seen as high as you have gotten.

it's mostly due to indexing, Google has a few thousand pages indexed, while Bing and Yahoo have a few hundred
