Bing up in US but down in Europe because of Seznam Internet monitoring company StatCounter this week displayed results showing that Bing saw again an increase of market share in the US. With a market share of 9,41% in July they were up 1,18% compared to a month earlier. In Europe Statcounter provides these numbers when it comes to market shares in July 2009:  The numbers do suggest that compared to Google Bing is also gaining market share in Europe. This is remarkable because Bing in most countries still uses the 'old' Live Search and doesn't have the features the US does. Only in the UK users get more functionalities. That doesn't really show in the user statistics so far, only a growth of 0,01%. Though in the UK Google is losing slightly, 0,28%. In other countries Bing's growth is minor as well, 0,12% in Germany, no growth in France and even a small decline (0,05%) in the Netherlands. The Google dominance stays big in Europe, but July was a month with some movement in the market. Though the movement was minor.

Personally I don't think we should take these numbers for granted.
First I find it hard to believe that Seznam is bigger than Yandex.
And the fact that Google and Seznam switched with tens of percent points in just a month is also not realistic.
But unarguably Google is by far the most dominant search engine in Europe.

I like the article however it is lacking some very important insights. Seznam is main search engine for internet users in CZ. However Seznam was using Google technology for non Czech/local search until this july and they have switched to Bing. So if the user wants to search for Czech content the search engine used is Seznam. If you choose to search for non Czech content Seznam uses Bing (was using Google before 07/2009). Hope this clears the confusion a bit.

Hi Anculik. Thanks for that information, that does give some new insights in the growth numbers. AND it does make you think, how big is Bing really?
