Bing Searches up but Google Holds on to 67% of Global Search Share

A July 2009 analysis done by comScore, Inc revealed that 76.7 billion searches last month which equates to a 67.5% market share, could be attributed to Google. Yahoo ranked a distance second at 8.9 billion searches (7.8% share). Chinese engine Baidu placed third with 8 billion searches (7.0% share).

Overall, search websites saw an increase in activity when compared to figures from last year. I’m sure this correlates to increasing internet usage around the world.

Microsoft Bing Gains Search Market Share

 

According to ComScore, Microsoft Bing continues to make small gains on rivals Google Inc and Yahoo Inc in the U.S:

Microsoft, which launched Bing in early June, racked up 8.9 percent of U.S. Internet searches in July, up 0.5 percentage points from June.

Google, the search market leader and Yahoo both lost .3% of search market share dropping to 67.7% and 19.3% respectively.

Last Month Yahoo and Microsoft inked a deal that would allow Bing’s search technology to power search functions for both of the sites’ and power their Internet Advertising.

Needless to say, Bing has been accepted much wider than it’s Live search engine.
