In August of 2010, Yahoo and Microsoft combined their resources in a new search engine called Bing. Many in the search marketing community were anxious to see how this would impact Googles domination of the industry. So whats the damage? One year later, Googles U.S. market share is down from 71% to 65%. Bings share grew 4%, from 24% to 28%. In March 2010, Microsofts CEO, Steve Ballmer said, Tomorrows goal is to gain a few points, a tenth here, a tenth there, and just keep working and working. Slow, steady growth is their goal and after one year, it looks like theyre on the right path.
