Bing?

[svrpaul]

What does everybody think about Bing? I've been getting some traffic and just wondering what everybody else thinks about this new search engine... Besides that... they've been doing some heavy TV advertising.

Results are quite spammable (and as a result, generally poorer) compared to Google.


I rank #1 on bing for some of my main searches on my main site, and I get 3 times more traffic by people manually typing my URL, than what bing brings in.


Bing is the same pig - just wearing different lipstick.

I think it is the same at Microsoft Live just with a new name...kinda like Vista and Windows 7, same thing, different name...IMO

I also don't see much difference between bing and the previous MS search engine.

Hi all...

In six month we all able to see lots of changes in Bong because Microsoft has take over the Yahoo.

I think M$ is going to be following a lot of the same model G! has setup from an SEO standpoint. Bing does give more credit to things like Domain age, H1 and H2 tags.

One thing I found really interesting was the ability of Bing to read flash content on sites. I wonder if G! will ever follow this trend?

From a user POV, Bing is trying to provide more content per search for users utilizing a lot of different features. It will be interesting to see if it does pay off.

All of these name changes are confusing for me and for my analytics. I just hope msn search/live search/bing/yahoo finds a name it likes soon and sticks with it so that I can make some sense of the traffic I get from their name-morphing search engine.

I have been getting a descent amount of traffic from Bing, but that's probably because I am not in very good Google placements as of yet. If Bing takes over, it would be good for me, but I don't see it happening.
