Bing Continues Microsoft Search Share Growth in June 2009, According to StatCounter
StatCounter made news fast and furious in Bing’s first week when they offered up data showing Bing had surpassed Yahoo! in search. And now they’re making a splash again by quickly releasing data for the whole month of June.
Overall, things are relatively steady, but there’s an ever-so-slight increase in Microsoft search share.
The data shows Bing gaining .5% search share in June compared to May. But Live Search had gained about .5% in May over April.
One percent growth over the last two months may not seem significant, but it could be the beginning of momentum.
“At first sight, a 1% increase in market share does not appear to be a huge return on the investment Microsoft has made in Bing but the underlying trend appears positive,” commented Aodhan Cullen, CEO, StatCounter. “Steady if not spectacular might be the best way to describe performance to date.”
Plus, the 1% growth has come at the expense of Google. The search mammoth saw its search engine share according to StatCounter decline by 79.07% in April to 78.48% in June.
By the way, despite that first week of traffic for Bing, Yahoo! still retained its second place status for the entire month of June. Yahoo!’s traffic has remained fairly steady over the past three months in StatCounter data.
