With the headlines that Microsoft’s new search engine Bing (bing) has been grabbing, it’s easy to forget that it only went live about a month ago. Since its launch at the beginning of June, it has given Google pause and even had its own web infomercial.

But none of that matters if Bing doesn’t grow and find a way to compete with Google (Google). So after a month, where are we? We knew that Bing was growing, but the numbers being released tonight tell a tale of success, as Bing is now the 13th most visited site on the web.

According to Compete.com, Bing was able to amass 49.57 million unique visitors in its first month as Microsoft’s official search engine. Bing’s traffic trumps that of Digg (Digg) (38.96 million) Twitter (Twitter) (23 million), and CNN (28.54 million). We want to note that this focuses on U.S. visitors, since Compete does not track international visits.

Bing is now only beaten by 12 other websites according to the Compete numbers. Interestingly enough, one of those websites is Live.com, its predecessor, which actually garnered 79.4 million visits in June. This can mostly be attributed to the fact that a lot of Microsoft services, most notably Hotmail, are on the Live domain.

Still, Bing is showing some solid numbers for its first month in existence. That said, it’s got a long way to go before it can begin to challenge Google’s top position in search.

I doubt that. Twitter is so much popular. The stats in Compete might not be too accurate.

Bing is making its presence felt in the industry. Its pr has increased from 2 to 9 and it is making changes in its algo for making it more precise and more accurate. So, this is not a surprise to me.

The growth of Bing is quite impressive, but I'm quite pessimistic if they can live up with their targets. Their sudden popularity might just be ephemeral.

Yes Bing has grown in a quick time. And some what is more effective than existing sites twitter and Digg. It surely is getting bigger on Digg and twitter.

Even if the details are only based on US visitors, I still believe that toppling down 3 of the most popular sites we have now means a lot to Bing. Personally, I didn't expect that they will make it. Considering they were only launched last year.

I really hope Bing continues to go from strength to strength. Google has completely dominated the market for too long, and competiton is good for us as customers. Whether you're a webmaster looking to gain favour with a SE or a searcher looking for a better search experience, we need more options and Google needs some competition against it to help us and searchers out.

the thing with bing is that some of the things it values for its serps are unfair, so I'm not too keen on it. Mainly because of the domain age thing.

So I hope it doesn't succeed. Sorry Bing
