In the month of October, Google was the clear winner, accounting for close to 71% of all searches in the States.  Yahoo was next at 16.14%, and Bing received 9.57% of searches.

Data from Experian Hitwise

Also according to the article, Google’s and Yahoo’s search share dropped slightly from September to October, each losing about 1%.  Bing’s searches, however, grew about 7%.

What do you think – will Google’s dominance in search ever end? Will Bing ever pose a bigger threat to Google?
