It's no surprise Bing is big. I'm on Internet Explorer now (trust me, I would have changed browser if I wasn't at work with no administrator rights), and whenever I write a URL that's not working (for some websites this even happens when I omit the www), instead of getting a 404 I get a Bing search for the URL I was trying to go to.

I've never actually used Bing, but the browser, but when Internet Explorer sends me directly to Bing whenever I do something wrong and it's the most used browser in the world, it's no surprise that Bing has lots of visits.

With the headlines that Microsoft’s new search engine Bing() has been grabbing, it’s easy to forget that it only went live about a month ago. Since its launch at the beginning of June, it has given Google pause and even had its own web infomercial ...

I liked Bing .. as it is little or may be you say .. little more improved search engine .. the thing which I really liked abt it is .. the little pop up windows .. which pops on the right side of the listing .. explaining or displaying its brief introduction .. when we hover the mouse on it ... which really save time in visiting and finding out .. the site was of no use ...

Every since Obama became president ...the media has been trying it's best to start a Racial
war or Upheaval ... If it's not one racial issue it's another !!! It is clearly evident that the media's intention is to sent a message to black people ..."Remember where you came from now !!! " "Don't become proud or above yourselves !!! The media has always been the enemy !!!
You keep the people divided up among themselves ....For together we stand ...divided we fall !!!
Your time has ended SATAN !!! Just except it and bow out gracefully !!!

I agree with you Ash. Also, there is value in the user search data, which makes it that much more valuable.

Astonishing, Microsoft has been hopeless in search for such a long time now. This is not their first attempt to take on Google. I haven't used Bing yet, why has it taken off so? What does it offer that Google doesn't?

BING was big until people realized it was Windows Live Search. Same lackadaisical search engine as before.

Now Bing is official search engine of Microsoft, Before Bing launched Microsoft Windows users could not get the appropriate result from msn or live. Now hope fully they can get from Bing.
Personally, I'm happy with Bing.

That's the point - the world is more than just "US traffic"...

Compete only ESTIMATES web traffic based on their own algos (whether they are accurate or not is up for grabs) and only estimates US based traffic.

True, MS has a monopoly edge on any type of product they launch.

Interesting post, I know Bing will have a lot to go but I am very surprised that Bing got this far, I've actually see a good amount of traffic from Bing now, maybe more than Yahoo.

That looks like a good start for Bing, I wish we could have some data on how it's going for Bing in Europe

MS pushes its Bing engine into IE replacing other search engines installed before, including Google. They do it during initial IE installation or a regular program update from the MS site. A lot of people just don't actually care about and use this Bing when they need to search for something. I believe Bing partially succeeded in quantities just because of this non-initiated by users replacement.

Impressive growth, but may be due to the buzz and the advertising. Waiting to see the Bing July status.

Yes, but Google has had time to generate familiarity, and Bing, despite being a rebranded Live.com, is newer. Yes, I know about the TV commercials, but since I don't watch TV, I've never seen one. I heard about Bing through a co-worker and have been using it for the past 4 weeks or so. Most people will probably stick with Google or Yahoo, but a small percentage of people will stay with Bing.

What I find odd is the emphasis on market share. Does it matter whether Bing gets 5% or 75%? As long as it gives you the results you want, market share doesn't matter -- unless you are need high placement for your business. So I can see why most people are still sticking with Goo.

Funny, ever since the week it came out I've not used bing again... it's hard to change the habit of using google when it just works so well already.
