Google still the Search Engine King

Posted by: adonaimedia in Untagged on Oct 9, 2009

Google still has it ... and a large part of it. Even with a $80 million Microsoft marketing campaign of Bing when it launched just a couple months ago, Google gained market share.

Bing dropped to processing 8.96% of all U.S. searches in September from 9.48% in August.
Yahoo (YHOO) slumped too, sinking to 16.38% from 16.96%.
Google (GOOG) advanced to 71.08%.
