Bing Making Steady Progress
August 3, 2009 by: adminMicrosoft’s Bing slightly increased its share of the U.S. search market in July to 9.41 percent from 8.23 percent in June, according to analytics firm StatCounter.
Microsoft and Yahoo combined took 20.36 percent of the search market, up slightly from 19.27 percent in June. Google still leads the U.S. search market with 77.54 percent in July (78.48% in June).
"Bing continues to make slow but steady progress but the combined Yahoo! figures suggests that the deal announced last week will have to demonstrate major future synergies if it is to make any dent in Google’s dominance," commented Aodhan Cullen, CEO and founder, StatCounter.
In the global search market the challenge for Microsoft and Yahoo is even greater according to StatCounter. Microsoft and Yahoo combined took 8.77 percent of the global search market in July (8.45% in June). Google still dominates the search market globally with 89.23 percent in July (89.80% in June).
Data is based on an analysis of 1.006 billion search engine-referring clicks (258 million from the US), which were collected in June and July from the StatCounter network of over three million websites.
