For the first time ever in the search world, Microsoft’s Bing overtook Yahoo in August search share, according to the latest data from Nielsen. Bing’s 13.9% share edged out ever- so-slightly Yahoo’s 13.1%.
It should be noted that Microsoft and Yahoo have a partnership that kicked off in August that involves Bing powering Yahoo’s search. If Nielsen combined Bing-powered search it would represent a 26% share of search.
While Bing and Yahoo scrap for second place, Google blows everyone out of the water with a 65% share of all U.S. searches.
Furthermore, Google dominates most of the U.S. search advertising market with around 71% slice of an estimated $12.4 billion in search advertising spend, according to eMarketer.
