Hitwise: Bing's Incremental Gains Continue

March 10, 2011 at 3:05 pm PT

Fresh February figures on search market share from Experian Hitwise show Bing-powered searches (those on Microsoft’s Bing itself plus Yahoo Search) continuing to silently creep up on search sovereign Google. Of course, “creep” is the operative word (the Bing-Yahoo share rose from 27.44 percent in January to 28.48 in February) and the creeping is silent because Google remains so far in front (with a 66.9 percent share) that it can’t hear much of anything.

About Voices

Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.

We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
