Google VS Bing Vs Yahoo! Who Gets More Traffic?

We posted last month about November’s search results… Here is the latest:

Working closely with the three major search engines, Google, Yahoo, and Bing, we often get asked the question: how much traffic does each of the search sites get? To answer this question we turn to the latest results courtesy of Experian Hitwise:

So what does this all mean? For one it shows us that Google has found a way to increase its share of searches despite recent intense competition from Bing. It also shows that Bing is going to have to figure a way to increase its popularity now that the honeymoon is over for searchers!

Will anyone be able to dethrone Google from its search engine throne? Only time will tell.
