Bing gains ground against Google

Posted by anthonykuo , Jul, 2009 @ 12:21 pm

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. [Telegraph]

However, whether these gains are a result of a $100 million advertising campaign, or because of Bing’s inherent superiority remains to be seen.
