Microsoft’s Bing Gains 2% Market Share- Will it Retain?
by Eric Dudley on June 19, 2009
By now most of have been exposed to Bing’s ad campaign, due in large part to Microsoft’s huge marketing push recently. According to a comScore report, Microsoft’s share of search result pages in the U.S., a proxy for overall search intensity, increased from 9.1 percent to 11.1 percent during the time frame of May 26-30 to June 2-6.

The question is, does Bing have what it takes to build loyalty among users or is it just a pretty shell without much different. Tom references Bing’s differentiators: “Microsoft Announces New Search Engine at Bing.com.”
So, what do you think? Will it retain any gained market share or is it just a curiosity spike driven by advertising? Does Bing have what it takes to build loyalty among users? Please comment.
