Microsoft’s Bing Gains More Market Share In August

Well it may not be earth shattering news, but Microsoft’s Bing went from an 8.9 percent of the search market place in July to 9.3 percent in August. It has gained market share for 4 consecutive months in a row. The current data shows Google at 64.6 percent, Yahoo at 19.3 percent, Microsoft at 9.3 percent Ask at 3.9 percent and AOL at 3 percent. Google actually gave up a meager .1 percent to Bing. Google may not be losing sleep at this point, however if this trend continues it could prove to be especially troublesome.

Microsoft is planning on providing a new release twice a year with the latest technology enhancements. The latest Bing release was previewed to employees at the Microsoft annual meeting. The comments were heard to be very favorable. Google is not known for sitting on its hands, so it will be interesting to watch what kind of changes makes in its next release.
