Firefox : Bing has no real market share
December 17, 2009
In perhaps the biggest slap to the face, the popular Webbrowser Firefox is now on record stating the reason you need a plugin to have Bing as your default search is because no one uses Microsoft’s Bing.
Our stats agree with Firefox. We see Bing at under single digit market share. The next step below is ASK.com and Dogpile … yet advertising agency WPP Group plc backs that search engine as where it’s wasting it’s clients dollars. We knew these large ad agencies don’t understand SEO to any valid extent already. It’s a fight to just to get them to adopt Meta tags.
A complete waste of ad agency client dollars. Why not throw up ads on Million Dollar Homepage while you are at it?
The only point to this where there is a silver lining (and we stress, it’s silver coated.. not pure) is that Yahoo is going to adopt Bing Results).
This is an ongoing problem, these agencies developed relationships with these companies years ago, well before search became such a powerful force. We predict these relationships will eventually change hands to more technologically savvied ad agencies eventually (it’s been happening at a more rapid pace recently).. but honestly it’s reached the point where if an ad agency is throwing up client sites with no metas, throwing their PPC dollars at Bing … then that is the exact point where the client needs to say “WTF is going on?”
Enjoy the new reality.
