About this ranking
StatCounter counts page views that arrive from a search engine on sites using its tracker. It measures traffic sent to those sites, not the number of searches, and answers people read without clicking are not counted.
Coverage is a limit in China and other markets where few of the tracked sites are visited, and where searches inside apps are not seen, so treat those shares as a rough guide.
