I'm assuming you are only talking about Google's US homepage? (i.e. not including youtube and other non google.com Google properties)?

- jacquesm 16y agoYes, but the 'US' homepage as you call it is used by people all over the world. See: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/google.com http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/google.com Then click on the 'more' link under the flags. Google keeps trying to redirect me to google.nl but I always set it back to google.com and it looks like I'm not alone in that.
- Raphael_Amiard 16y agoIn france everybody uses google.fr. Not all countries and cultures are comfortable with english.
- jacquesm 16y agoGoogle.com is the #5 site in France.
- Raphael_Amiard 16y agoYeah sure, but what you fail to mention is that google.fr is #1 in france, with 5 times more visits, which means that there is a big subset of fr users that doesn't use google.com. Which was the original point.
- c00kie 16y agoThe French seem to be especially uncomfortable with anything that isn't French....
- terpua 16y agoYeah, I do the same but it looks like the majority uses their country specific Google pages.
- ErrantX 16y agoYes true. But I am not sure you can discount the other domains For example .co.uk and .com.hk, for example, have a global reach of 3 and 4 percent respectively (I've made a guess that those are the top two alternate domains). So already that is a significant boost to the Google stats. (edit: checked .fr, that is another 3% reach) (edit2: .de and .in are also in the top 20 and contribute 3.5 and 4 percent in their turn. I make that a [rough] grand total of 57.5% reach.)
