Bing Beating Yahoo Internationally for First Time
Posted in: Google, Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili, Yahoo
I’m sure whether this qualifies as a good sign for Microsoft or a bad sign for Yahoo–the truth likely lies somewhere between the two. According to new numbers from StatCounter, Bing has managed to overtake Yahoo in global traffic numbers, for the first time, ever. Microsoft hit 4.37 of global search engine traffic in February. Yahoo was at 3.93.
Yahoo still maintains a slim lead in the U.S., beating out Bing 9.74 to 9.03 percent. Of course, it’s not as though there’s a huge difference between the two, these days. Yahoo’s search is powered by Bing in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Australia.
Google, meanwhile, is still dominating the field in its native country at 79.63 percent of traffic. The number’s even largely globally, with the site pulling in 89.94 percent. That number is actually down slightly from 90.11 percent in January, marking the first time since August 2009 that the search giant has dipped below 90 percent.
