Bing Hits All-Time High Market Share, But Isn’t Taking It From Google

Bing hit all-time high market shares in June for both “core search” and “explicit search” according to the latest comScore figures out today. But, Bing’s gains aren’t coming at Google’s expense; Google maintained its share in explicit search and made gains of its own in core search.

Here’s a look at what comScore is reporting:

Google: 65.5% (essentially unchanged from May)Yahoo: 15.9% (essentially unchanged)Bing: 14.4% (up from 14.1% in May)

Bing’s 14.4% is an all-time high share of explicit search. Combined, Bing/Yahoo is now at 30.2% market share, up from 30% in both April and May.

Meanwhile, both Ask and AOL are at record lows of 2.9% and 1.4%, respectively.

Google: 64.5% (up from 63.3% in May)Yahoo: 17.5% (down from 19.6% in May)Bing: 14.1% (up from 13.1% in May)
