Bing stole traffic from Google in March

Bing's share of the U.S. search market grew 0.2 percentage points in March as Google's dropped 0.4 points, according to comScore.

It's the 10th-straight month that Microsoft's search engine has gained eyeballs. Since the June launch, Bing has mostly taken that traffic from Yahoo search – but in March, Yahoo's share grew as well ... by 0.1 percentage point.

It seems that this time, Bing (and others) stole traffic from Google. Bing's share increased from 11.5 percent in February to 11.7 percent last month while Google dropped from 65.5 to 65.1 percent, comScore said. Meanwhile, Yahoo grew from 16.8 to 16.9 percent and Ask.com grew by 0.1 point.
