Bing Still Going Strong

Bing has made a big name for itself since its launch back on May 28^th. Just a week after it was opened to the public, the new search engine came in at number two among all search engines.

New statistics from comScore show that Bing is still holding on to its numbers. The latest study compares the last week of May, the first week of June, and the second week of June. Since the last week in May, Microsoft sites have increased from 9% to 12% in share of search result pages. And in the average daily searcher penetration, have increased from 13.7% to 16.7%.

This is all interesting of course, but what about Google’s numbers for the same period? ComScore did not and would not reveal Google’s numbers for the beginning of July, saying those results would be put out at the end of the month with all other Search Engines’ stats. However, according to StatCounter, Google had also increased results in this period. They reported an increase of 0.43%.

Google’s numbers make me think that Bing continues to be on the rise solely due to curiosity and major advertising. But it is pretty obvious that Google isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
