Most of that 30%was bought. Organic growth is incredibly slow. Google has an incredible stringhold on this market and more so on the mobile.

If Bing:

(1) gets another 4% from Google over the next year due to IE defaults and advertising;

(2) gets another 2-4% from the FB deal;

(3) signs a deal with Apple to become default on iOS (2/3 of mobile = 5%+) and desktop Safari (4%+).

That could potentially put them around the same market share as Google. None of those propositions are crazy either.
