The London Telegraph's website has a story with the headline "Microsoft Bing continues to steal market share of Google". Read the first paragraph and you learn...
"Google’s share of the search space has fallen from 78.72 per cent in May to 78.48 per cent in June, according to internet data firm StatCounter. Microsoft’s share of the market, meanwhile, has grown to 8.23 per cent since the launch of Bing, up from the 7.8 per cent share it enjoyed before the rebranding of its search portal."
Hardly earth shattering. And in the second paragraph you learn that Yahoo is still # 2 with 11 percent of all search traffic. Is anyone surprised? Did anyone realistically expect differently?
I am not surprised. Of course, after any major press coverage, Bing was going to experience a surge. Visitors were curious and perhaps wondered if it is better than Google. Then the curiosity wane... Then those stats you mentioned reflect the adage, "It's back to normal."
Is true, but... in my opinion bing is the worst search engine in the world, seo poisoning?... you never get what you are searching for.
Google have almost all the market share in search engine, and this is bad for the market, but... is the best search engine, quite accurate.
Bing are making a very big publicity campaing in media market... in my opinion this mean that some people are "curious" and go to bing but like i see bing are working good in search results.
sorry for my bad english.. english isnt my mother language
Hopefully Bing will take more people from Google, Google having too much power in the Search Engine markets really sucks.
Like politicians, Google gets its power from the people who use it. Google happens to be really good at what they do and are on the top of the mountain. If Bing and Yahoo take the challenge seriously they will make headway. The fact that Google is saying they are not that big is interesting but it could be read one of two ways. First, maybe they are being challenged and are a little concernced. Second, they could be just playing possum and trying to make the other SEs think they are gaining and then come out with the next big thing.
