Bing to continue growth.


Posted by Chris Consorte

Hopefully the big clean-up of the Internet has begun.

With Bing grabbing month-to-month growth, it appears that the days of multi-hundred page search results may be numbered.

Research shows most folks don't go past three returned search pages - IF they go that far. In fact, page one or two ranking is really statistically where most people's comfort zone is located. Then why return hundreds of results pages?

More refined search results - more geographically relevant - search results are on the way. Bing will likely continue to gain 1 - 2% market share in the search market over the next several months as Google appears to have interests elsewhere.

Overall, won't be long before Bing has 25% of the search market - probably by this year. Working with Yahoo - they may just have half the search engine world in 18 months.
