![]() ![]() The search engine announced plans today to accelerate the growth further. With six months to go, it is very likely that the 30 billion mark will be crossed in the year, and that traffic will likely end between 32-34 billion queries in the year. It is mid-June right now, and traffic is already at 16.0 billion queries. ![]() Now, in 2021, it looks as if the search engine will report another record year. Here is the year-by-year listing from 2015 to 2020. If you look at the reported traffic figures for 20, you get about 15 billion queries in 2019 and 23.6 billion in 2020. In 2015, DuckDuckGo reported that it crossed the 10 million daily searches mark, and this year (2021), it managed to cross the 100 million searches mark for the first time. Back in 2013, traffic rose to more than 2 million queries per day, a small number for search engine heavyweight Google Search, but an important milestone for the DuckDuckGo search engine. Then came PRISM, and DuckDuckGo's traffic started to rise a lot. ![]() I had plenty of reasons for that, but privacy was the main one. I have followed the rise of DuckDuckGo since 2012, when I announced here on this site that it became my primary search engine. ![]()
