Shayla Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Google might still dominate the search market share, but it's no longer a solo act. And if you needed any more proof that Bing, for all intents and purposes, has been a success thus far, search marketers are starting to take notice. "Now we're in a situation where we're going to have Bing powering up to 30 percent of the market," said Danny Sullivan, a search engine expert. Bing isn't quite at the 30 percent market share mark just yet, but that's expected to change once the Bing-Yahoo integration kicks offs. "That's nothing to sneeze at," said Janet Driscoll Miller, president and CEO of SearchMojo. "It's going to be a two-engine world int he future, where you'll have Bing and Google to worry about as SEOs [search engine optimizers]." Working to Microsoft's advantage, Bing has a couple of features of interest to marketers that aren't yet on Google. When a user rolls over results, for example, a preview box pops up with more information about the website, and that's something site marketers will have some control over. More on InfoWorld.

George P Global Moderator Posted June 10, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted June 10, 2010 I can't wait for the Bing-Yahoo effect to kick in. Things should get really interesting once Bing gets that chunk of market share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the OP was going off of US market share. In the US Google has been stuck at 65% for a long time, it actually fell to 64% last quarter. It's here that yahoo and bing together make 30% or so.
