As Google gear up to make some changes to their Image Search, traffic data has been released showing that over a billion image searches are carried out every day.
This comes as a boost for the search engine market leaders, especially as the young pretenders at Bing have increased their market share substantially. In the past 12 months, Bing’s multimedia advertising campaign has helped Bing corner 12.7% of the US market. Second place Yahoo are only slightly ahead on 18.9%, but Bing will need to pull out all the stops to overtake Google – who currently account for 62.6% of search traffic.
Strangely enough, image searches for FirstFound tend to take you to Optimise Magazine – which is well worth a read. And don’t forget to give us your feedback in our survey!
