Google Hates This

The last thing that Google wants to see is lost market share. Google is all about maximizing every dollar that advertisers put into AdWords. A loss of any amount of market share corresponds to a loss of marketing dollars, and thus a lower stock price. While Microsoft is gaining ground, just remember that their product portfolio is only based fractionally in search. Google is all about search, so it looks like they are getting beat up on their home turf.

Sliced butter..

MS / Bing can spend all they want on commercials, media whatever. But the race is long over.

Google has become as common as the daily slice of butter. Our traffic is 92% Google, Bing 2.5% and Yahoo hovers at 4% - 5%
as has remained that low for years.

The search results compared to Google are all over the place and lop sided, upside down and rather skewed .. almost like cable news. Ones leaning to the left the other is leaning to the right. I used Bing a couple of times.. guess I'm a loyal Google'r!

The bottom line.. they both want your money so bad they are willing to spend Millions to get it.

Think about it..

Long-term

With the emergence and growing popularity of Bing I suppose that the next test will be to see if the growth trends will continue or if the growth will plateau.

It is certainly staggering to look at Google's dominance in graphs such as the one that is posted above.

I didnt realize google was

I didnt realize google was rated that high over yahoo. I thought yahoo had more of an edge. I have used Bing a few times and absolutely love it. It has a lot of great changes and I have saved it as my home page.
