It’s not going as fast as it has been, but comScore reports that February was in fact a month with a small growth in Bings share of searches in the USA.
Bing (Microsoft sites) went from 11,3% to 11,5%, but unfortunately Yahoo! went 0,2% down, so MicroHoo had a unchanged share of the searches.. still there’s a combined share of 28,3%!
And yes, Google went 0,1% up to 65,5%.

February was also bringing Bing growth
Thursday, March 11th, 2010January was another month with Bing growth
Thursday, February 18th, 2010comScore reports that January 2010 was another good month for Microsoft Bing with a small increase their part of the US Search traffic.
Bing added another 0,6% and are now at 11,3%, whereas Yahoo! goes down 0,3% to 17,0% – interesting is though that the combination Yahoo!+Bing adds 0,3%.
And another interesting thing is Google US Search share going DOWN o,3% to still a massive 65,4% – still very impressive!
Bing is still growing!
Saturday, January 16th, 2010It seems like Microsoft did something better than before when they decided to launch the search engine Bing.
All the way since the launch in late May 2009 Bing has seen an increase in their share of the search market and the month of December in US was not different.
comScore reports that Bing in December went up 0,4% to 10,7%, but Google is still the BIG one adding 0,1% which makes Google take a massive 65,7% of the US search market. In the same period Yahoo went down 0,2% to 17,3%, but the really interesting part about it is that Yahoo+Bing is at more than 25% procent (28%), so for a US PPC campaign you really have a big chunk of extra traffic to gain from also using them… not really the same in Denmark where Yahoo+Bing might add 3% on a very good day… 
Personally I really like that Bing is growing, not because its Microsoft or.. but simply because I hope at some point that we’ll see Google massive position as the clear number 1 in search shaken just a bit – some competition would be really good!
Google Opt Out will send you to a remote village
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009This is really a super joke Google is making here – check out this clip from The Onion where Google is telling about their new Google product “Google Opt Out” – a product sending you to a remote village – damn, these Googlelers are just such nice people.
And I love the big G you get in your forehead when you return from Google Opt Out village..

Google now up at 74% of US searches!
Friday, July 10th, 2009Wow, Google as a Search Engine just keep on growing – news data from Hitwise shows that Google is now at 74% and Yahoo down at 16,19%.
Bing looks to loose momentum in June compared to May, but Hitwise has in fact been comparing June 2009 searches week by week… and Bing showed 6,63% for the last week of June 2009.
I think it will be interesting to see if Bing can keep that 25% extra..

Google Wave looks really cool!
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009First of all I really like the idea of Google Wave when I heard about it the other day… but hearing about the 1 hour and 20 mins. long presentation I got a bit scared..
Luckily some nice people made a 10 mins “executive summary” video clips, which I find enough for a product not lauched…
Sorry Google and the 2 Rasmussen brothers (must have some Danish connection..) I cheated by doing the 10 mins…
Among the first Danes with Google Analytics IQ
Monday, March 9th, 2009Been a busy boy from the morning and decided to spend some time on taking the Google Analytics Individual Qualification (IQ) test – and I passed it among the first Danes…
I haven’t found a place where Google says it as nice as TraceWorks’ Morten Wulff does it with “Data is the new creative”, but Google opened up on March 3rd for the Google Analytics Online Course and Test because they find that “In today’s economic climate, data-driven marketing and website decision making is increasingly important.”
Google describe the The Google Analytics Individual Qualification (or Google Analytics IQ) as “a proof of proficiency in Google Analytics that is available to any individual who has passed the Google Analytics IQ test”.
The GA IQ Test wasn’t that difficult, but there were some rather tricky questions included, too…
What I really like most about the this Qualification is that Google decided to make a great step-by-step online course, which they see as a way to prepare for the test. I like the course because it keeps you updated (at least for now) and you might find a couple of areas that you dont really use that much – for sure it wasn’t all areas that I has been using that much…
But try doing the GA Online course without any experience with Google Analytics from some sites and I don’t think you’ll pass… But do tell me if you succed!
I once passed an Ericsson course in GSM when I was at Telia, but when you’re not a programmer, a ingenieur or a software company you just don’t get all these nice certificates to hide the wall with, so please excuse me but I need to flash the Google Analytics IQ Certificate… uhhhh…
Update December 4th 2009
Now with the official Google Analytics IQ Proof of Qualification – check my GA IQ here
Yahoo! Search Ad Share in UK down 40%
Thursday, January 29th, 2009Ouch, it’s quite a beating that Yahoo! Advertisning has taken in UK – 40% down from 2007 to 2008 even though the Search marked went up 11%.
So the UK Search Ad Marked now looks like:
Google 88,2%
Yahoo! 8,4%
Microsoft 3,4%
(Efficient Frontier)
Is it really only US and Japan that can show the advertisers a good reason to spend time on Yahoo! ?
Barack Obama got hit by the famous Google Bomb on Yahoo!
Friday, January 23rd, 2009So Google did a couple of years ago “dismantle” the Google Bomb (the techique used) that got famous by hitting former president George W. Bush by making his White House biography number one ranking in Google on the search for “miserable failure”, but it seems like Yahoo! didn’t “dismantle” the Google Bomb on their search engine part…. and now president Barack Obama is number one of “miserable failure” at Yahoo!
That’s a tough job not even finishing your first week at the White House and Yahoo! already “nominates” you as “miserable failure”….
I guess Yahoo! just got one more incentive to make their algorithm better..
Having only around 20% of the searches in US (opposed to Google’s 63%) does create some expectations, Yahoo!

Great IUM Bob Tournament 2008!
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008First of all a BIG thanx to the IUM staff for this great IUM Bob Tournament 2008 and of course for inviting me – I had great fun and you always manage to invite the best (party) people from the bizz..
Again I wasnt partaking in the Bob Tournament… I was late, not fully over the loose together with MP 2 years ago and I didnt have a Bob-partner … I guess I need to be playing next year, but on the other hand its always cool just enjoying the beer and super drinks served by the IUM bar staff – Jesper, you make a mean GT, nearly up to the standard of the famous Busch-drinks… ouch…
In the bar I did of course find the 2 Danish Googlers Sune Nielsen og Nikolaj Thonbo
Good seeing you again.
IUM had ‘dressed’ up their office in Bob Style – and this year the theme was Bob and German Beer festival (sort of explains all the German flags..)
If you look a little closer you can see Nikolaj Thunbo ordering for us in the bar… good job!
