In this question there could be no right or wrong answers. I am asking for opinions from experts @ Y! answers.

Bing worked hard to put together a quality search engine. It is not any less functional than Google

but Google’s market share is not decreasing and Bing keeps on lagging behind very badly.

What do you think is keeping Bing from gaining any market share?

baidu has about the same number of shares outstanding as google. baidu and google are both their country’s main search engine. China has 1.3 billion potential search engine users compared to america’s 300 million. google’s stock price is about 500 per share. baidu’s share price is about 85 per share. googles market cap is about 158 billion. baidu’s market cap is about 29 billion. Do you think baidu’s stock price is set to go up? Why? Why not?

What is the outlook on Yahoo, I am thinking that they are ok being #2 to Google, it may be risky as Google may be flying too high now or maybe not. Thinking being #2 for Yahoo is still a good thing, purchasing stock which seems in a trough now (close to 52 wk low) with intro of VOIP and other revenues from ads, would this not be a safe 3-5 year investment? Also in order to buy MSN we must purchase Microsoft stock, which does not reflect the true performance of the MSN search engine but the whole MS corp.

I’m thinking that Yahoo can’t lose, but fear I’m missing something, I think they’ve had the crap scared out of them by Google and may be mounting some exciting things to fight back, if Google is 0, why would it be unrealistic to think that Yahoo should be worth at least half of that or if Google is inflated by double it would still stand to reason that Yahoo could climb to half of the deflated Google price and wind up at . Will Yahoo likely make sustainable profit?
Yes I saw the same article about googles market share++ BUT Yahoo stilll has MILLIONS of users, also the numbers are scewed, you have to compare europe/Asia/NA Yahoo’s market share seems to be better in NA and the Google ++ mkt share seems to reflect Europe. I think there is nothing wrong with Being #2 like Yahoo, it is still a VERY poswerful position to be in, I’m thinking of sinking -60K into the stock and need to know what the dark side may look like. Like I said, it seems to be in the safe part of the trough, but I’m know there are some aspect I’m not aware of … specifically concerned with their VOIP play, they could STEAL a large market share if they are quicker to market with the product.

I assume Google and Yahoo up at the top of the list for most engines in Asia. What are some others or are they insignifcant compared to Google and Yahoo’s market share?

When it comes to market structure, is Google’s market (search engines) an oligopoly or a monopolistic competition? I can’t figure out which one it is!
