When did it jump up? Do you know of anything they did that'd make them suddenly more popular?

You guys should hire me for SEO consulting if you can't answer this one in-house. ;)

Jokes aside: BingHoo share, followed by comparison to Google (which makes it harder to see).

I'm not specifically aware of anything material which would have materially affected BCC's performance on BingHoo in the last 3 months, and the big candidate for affecting performance at Google (Panda or whatever you guys call content farming internally) largely seems to have missed me. When you compare year-to-year to back out the seasonality, though, both Yahoo and Bing show strong growth in my Jan/Feb/March numbers and Google growth is much more muted. Feel free to backchannel me if you want the spreadsheet.

For reasons known only to the Excel gods, the X axis considers the last data point (March) to be in February.

I suspect that if you wanted a job at Google it would not be terribly difficult for you to get one. ;-)

Anyway, I bet there's probably somebody in search quality whose job it is to track these numbers, but I don't know who it is, and it's easier just to ask you. Plus, this way the HN community gets some interesting numbers. Thanks. :-)

Could it be something to do with IE9 or new OS installs leading people to give Bing a shot?
