When Microsoft rolled out Bing they were intending to beat up Google. Unfortunately (for Bing) that's just not happening. When it launched, Bing enjoyed an uptick on the search-o-meter. It stole share from Yahoo!. Google marched on.
Now, Google is marching up.
MarketingProfs.com reported (through Experian Hitwise) that Google's market share actually GREW in April. At the same time, Microsoft's fell. Oh, Yahoo!'s fell too. And, if you're asking (which you probably aren't), Ask.com's share also fell (dramatically). Have a look at the results on MarketingProfs.com.

ReplyDelete"For the month, Microsoft's market share gain was just 0.2 of a percentage point, while Google's loss was 0.3 of a point."
Just noise in the data?
I agree. That was over a year ago. Watch for an update soon. (By the way, thanks for your comment as you got me back to blogging.)
