The real story is that Yahoo has simply had a steady slide downwards. And Bing has barely increased. Plus, AT WHAT COST for Microsoft? Lots of $$$ spent with their online division and so far, they are in the red since Bing started… So basically this is really a story of Google continuing it’s dominance with a 65% market share since like forever… A non story really… Oh well guess it was a slow news day

Are you  working on your Bing / Yahoo optimization?? You should!

That record high for Bing is 14.4 percent of market share – fairly impressive when you consider how young Bing is overall and that they only breached the 10 percent mark over the last year. This 14.4 percent market share combines with Yahoo’s 15.9 percent (about the same as Yahoo has held historically over the last couple years) to hit over 30 percent of the total market – up from about 20 percent last year and 25 percent at the end of 2010.

Yahoo has announced they are shutting down one of the old and beloved SEO tools, Yahoo Site Explorer.

Bye Site Explorer! It was nice knowing you!

Blekko is doing some neat things with their search engine, like massively fighting off ALL spam from their searches and now they have a neat tool to compare search results from google, yahoo and blekko. Will it help? 

Could Blekko be Google one day?  Perhaps…  maybe it will at least give some much needed competition.
