    As reported by Experian Hitwise, Bing powered search (Bing + Yahoo) represented 30.1% of US search market for the month of March 2011.
    Google still dominates with 64.42% market share (down from 66.69% in February). Yahoo has a 15.69% share (up from 14.99% in Feb), while Bing holds 14.32% market share (up from 13.49% in Feb).

    Will be interesting to see if Bing powered search can continue the momentum. They've been gaining market share steadily.

    Interesting. I use bing for some things, like image search, but google for others. I may have to start doing more Bing SEO research!

    Everything comes to an end one day, but I think there's no rush to buy a tombstone for Google just yet.

    You do realize that Microsoft is spending BILLIONS to get that much market share? They're losing every quarter because they keep trying to get leverage against Google.
