Bing is Fastest Growing Search Engine?
Microsoft’s newly branded search engine Bing performed 10.7% of all US searches in August 2009. According to Nielsen ratings, Bing grew in terms of search queries by US users 22% over the previous month. This makes it the fastest growing search engine on the market.
Yahoo currently reported handles 16% of searches. This is significant because Microsoft and Yahoo are currently in talks to establish a partnership in search and advertising.
With Google still holding 64% of the search market, it’s still the King of Search. However, we need to pay attention to the Bing and Yahoo. They are getting 27% of all searches as of August and when you consider there are over 36 million searches a month for lawyers and attorneys on Google, one could interpolate that Bing and Yahoo are getting about 15 million monthly searches… not insignificant!!!
