Has Bing’s Growth Stalled?
Oct 2, 2009 at 9:20am ET by Greg Sterling
Since it's launch Bing has steadily been inching up in market share, conveying the impression that Google has a bona fide competitor on its hands. Yesterday, however, data from NetApplications and StatCounter reflect that Bing may have seen its first usage declines since the engine's launch several months ago.
Before getting too excited one way or another, we must be cautious. There are monthly upticks and downturns. Before drawing any broader conclusions we'd need to see this confirmed by comScore, Hitwise, Nielsen, Compete -- in other words, a consensus view -- and then we'd need to look [...]
