Bing's Market Share Drops
Posted by Mark in Bing, Google, Microsoft, Search, Search Engine, Yahoo
In the month of September, Microsoft's search engine, Bing, has stopped growing. Bing currently holds an 8.96% share of the search engine market while Yahoo stands steady at second with 16.38% and Google holds a dominating lead on the market with a share of 71.08%. Microsoft has poured lots and lots of money into Bing in hopes of consuming a large percentage of Google users with its promises of a "decision" engine but has largely failed. If Microsoft and Yahoo go through with their deal of a Microsoft purchase of Yahoo, Microsoft would eventually raise their stake to 25%.
