I am curious how www.seznam.cz resisted so long against google. I tried it and it does seem as fast as google and it has a suggest feature, also very snappy. However, I just searched for 'hello' and got a Goatse in the images.
If the marketing campaign was that effective in Czech Republic, that might explain the recent increase in marketing from Google here in Tokyo since 2011 started. I can't remember how many times I saw the same Google Chrome commercials over and over during the first days of the year, and I also noticed and increase in Google related advertising inside of the trains, etc...
Things (for a mass public) gets very different when you see a TV ad. (Before 2006 or so, google didn't even try to claim google.cz domain name, which was by that time occupied by some squatters or something.)
As the article states, the numbers come from referals collected by Toplist, a Czech web stats service similar to Analytics. Not sure how that itself skewes the results. What’s more interesting is that Google only comes before its competior if you sum the numbers for google.cz with google.sk, its Slovakian version. I’m not sure why would we want to do that if we really wanted hard numbers for the Czech Republic only.
