A new report by Experian Hitwise shows that Bing and Yahoo have higher success rates at sending those who search to appropriate websites. While Google is still the king of the search market, it’s success rate for the month of July was only 67.56% compared to Bing at 81.36%. To be fair, Google receives over 65% of search volume whereas Bing (if you count Yahoo searches, powered by Bing) hovers near 28%.
