Still trailing Google and Yahoo, Bing boosts Microsoft's take of search market by 1%
Up and running for a month, Microsoft's Bing has upped the company's share of the U.S. search market by 1%, Web analytics firm StatCounter said today.
According to StatCounter, Bing -- unveiled late last month by CEO Steve Ballmer -- may have nibbled away at Google's commanding lead in the search arena, but it definitely hasn't taken a big bite. While Google Inc.'s share dipped from 79.07% to 78.48% in June, Microsoft's search site share grew from 7.21% to 8.23%. Despite falling behind for a short time last month, Yahoo has worked its way back into second place with 11.04%.
