Bing is Doing Good

I have written previously that Bing is Microsoft’s last stand and their ability to get bigger market share and become a real player in the search engine wars largely depend on the performance of Bing in the coming months and years. Initially, when Bing launched, traffic spiked which was normal but was no indication about a long term usage and growth.

For the month of June, Bing is looking great by becoming the 13th most visited site in the U.S. with 49.57 million. This puts Bing ahead of Digg, Twitter, and CNN. While their ultimate goal is far from happening, their burst of traffic in the first month or so has been impressive. I believe their development team should work overtime and fast in hearing out all the positive remarks and do something on the negative items in their search engine. As long as they continue to read and address user comments, their growth traffic can grow over a long period of time.

Digg has received 38.96 million visitors, Twitter 23 million visitors, and CNN with 28.54 million visitors for June.

Have you used the Bing search engine lately?
