Thread: Bing use inches up in February

Microsoft's Bing have 11.5% of all search queries in the U.S. in February, somewhat higher than its 11.3 % share the previous month, as said by the most recent figures from ComScore.

Yahoo, who lately won regulatory approval over a search technology and advertising transaction with Microsoft, grabbed 16.8% of all queries, a slight refuse of 0.2% from January. But still Google is search engine giant, winning 65.5% of all the searches run last month, up 0.1% from January.

Trailing the inventory was the Ask Network in 4th place with 3.7 % of all search queries, followed by AOL with a 2.5 % piece of all searches in February.

To place that % into real numbers, people online ran 14.5 billion searches in the U.S. last month. Google grabbed 9.5 billion of those, Yahoo accounted for 2.4 billion; Microsoft grabbed 1.7 billion, and Ask and AOL capture home the rest.



In last summer, Yahoo's share has been decreasing, while Google's has normally stayed the same. As Microsoft and Yahoo move ahead on their new search partnership, the 2 are hoping to bump up their search rankings and advertising to in conclusion take a bigger bite out of Google.
