Microsoft's Bing Search Share Rises

Bing has made a slight gain in market share, but has quite a long way to go before it catches up with the search industry leader Google.

Microsoft had 8.23% market share the first month Bing was live (a 1% increase), putting Bing close behind Yahoo's 11.04%, but still way behind Google's 78.48%.

A 1% market share increase for Microsof's Bing does not appear very positive, especially when you consider the overall investment Microsoft made developing and advertising Bing. However, time may change this if the share continues on it's upward change. The fact is, Bing is still a baby in the big world of search, and if it's loved, cherished, and fed...Bing will grow.
