Bing Reports 8 Percent Visitor Growth Its First Month After Launch

So, is that a win? How much is engineering (which I don't discount, it's a reasonably good site) and how much is $100M in advertising, to count for 8% over Live Search's numbers?

I'm not that big of a MS fan, but I really really hope Bing gives some serious challenge to Google. Its good for users to have a few choices than just one.

My product places on Bing's front page and gets crowded out by content-free SEO sites on Google. Go bing!

It's nice that Microsoft is reporting Bing is up 8%. Of course, no one else is reporting that and StatCounter even shows a huge drop in total usage.<p>And 8% increase of what? 8% higher than Bing last week? 8% market share? From everything I've been able to find, Bing is still way back behind Yahoo which doesn't do any advertising at all!
