Bing market share grows in October on strong search traffic

According to the most recent data from comScore, Bing market share is creeping up, growing some 0.3% from September to October of this year.

That growth did not come at the expense of Google, who grew a respectable 0.2% over the same period. Total final market share for Bing and Google was 11.5% and 66.3% respectively. Yahoo, Ask, and AOL all shed market share over the same period.

comScore also reported that total explicit Bing searches were up some 7% from 1.79 billion to 1.919 billion from September to October. For those who would like the exact percentage, we did the math for you.
