			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>In the month since Bing&#8217;s release by Microsoft the internet has been<br />
abuzz with rumor about how Microsoft was finally going to overtake<br />
Google. NOT!</p>
<p>MS has been running advertising up the ying yang, television,<br />
internet, etc., talking about the wonders of their<br />
&#8220;decision engine&#8221;. What the heck is that? It&#8217;s just a fancy marketing<br />
term for search and we all know it. More &#8220;Ballmer Wonder Words&#8221; I<br />
guess. Did he do one of his crazy Ballmer wardances over this thing?<br />
I&#8217;m sure he must have.</p>
<p>But listen up &#8211; the stats are in, and all should bow to the only true<br />
king of search, King Google.</p>
<p>StatCounter released numbers this week that might suggest Bing has<br />
taken a bite, albeit a micro baby bite, out of Google&#8217;s search<br />
dominance. Their statistics showed Bing securing 8.23 percent of all<br />
web searches in June, the month of their launch, up from 7.81 percent<br />
for MS the month previous.</p>
<p>Oh My, Google catastrophe. Think again. Like most people, even I went<br />
to check out the buzz and did a couple of searches through Bing to see<br />
what the Bing Buzz was about. I would venture that any increase they<br />
saw is temporary in nature and just the curiousity of people looking<br />
at a new online tool. Not that the increase was substantial, to say<br />
the least. It certainly doesn&#8217;t indicate they are actually acquiring<br />
new search users.</p>
<p>Now, check out Google&#8217;s stats from StatCounter. For June, Google had<br />
78.48 percent of ALL US searches. That is what is called Dominance<br />
folks. Granted, Google slipped a measley half percentage point in<br />
June, as other people like me tested the waters for a brief moment in<br />
time, but trust me, there is nothing on Bing that would ever convince<br />
me, and likely not the other curiousity seekers, to switch to Bing.</p>
<p>After all, Microsoft is still a much hated company &#8211; so why should I<br />
like Bing or even give MS the benefit of the doubt?</p>
<p>Now here&#8217;s the interesting stat from StatCounter. Google fluctuates<br />
regularly on a month to month basis averaging between 76 and 79<br />
percent of all US searches, so a case could even be made that it<br />
wasn&#8217;t even Bing at all, just normal variation in the incredibly<br />
dominant numbers Google puts up.</p>
<p>I know this, I won&#8217;t be switching &#8211; and I seriously doubt other Google<br />
users will either. So keep pumping money into your &#8220;Decision Engine&#8221;<br />
MS &#8211; and maybe if you want to increase your search market share, you<br />
should look at buying Yahoo again &#8211; that&#8217;s probably your only hope<br />
from where I sit.</p>
<p>By the way, I found this cartoon that illustrates perfectly the<br />
dominance of Google, enjoy!</p>
