Bing.com is doing ALL the right things!

Well... just look at the threads in this forum! Microsoft has A VERY LONG WAY TO WALK... And money is not the answer.

Google buy services and let them go free. For example, Analytics used to cost $150 a month before Google made it valible for free. Also, Google open the API for these services. API = Application Programming Interface.

It means, developers around the globe can use the information made from these services to create stand alone applications or web services.

Google pay BIG money to the webmasters. When will Microsoft pay BIG money to people out there? Will it ever happen?

Microsoft has a giant mountain to climb... It's huge... and growing and feeding every day!!

Microsoft really has no choice. Compete with Google or die. The economy "as it used to be" will never return. Google gave the traditional economy the middle finger... and the handsome employers in the good-looking clothes at Microsoft didn't care... Why would they!?

Very many people think Google is only the searchengine and Microsoft focus on these people... But when will Microsoft "bust a move" on the developers? When will MS hand out easy-to-use API and hand out money...?

If they are clever, it will happen very soon...

 

I just had to point out that Google does not pay BIG money to webmasters. It pays peanuts compared to what it rakes in on adwords.

A very small percentage compared to what other advertising mediums pay to the space owners, and producers of content.

Generally in the ad world, content producers, and space owners make the lions share of the ad money.
In Googles world of advertising, content producers, and space owners get paid peanuts, while Google basically brokers the deal, and makes more than everyone.

Adsense is not a great deal for publishers, only for Google. So I have to disagree that Google does not pay BIG money to webmasters, Google pays peanuts to webmasters...but one mans garbage could be another mans riches.

 

Agreed, Google don't give much money to webmasters. Instead they eat money from Advertisers and Webmasters from their Adwords. Pay per click cost as much as $100 and most of the advertisers don't recover their Adwords costs.

 

hmm.. looks like its doing quite well.. not the stuff to beat google though yet!

 

Actually after trying Bing for first time I cought myself searching things daily on bing what I usually did on Google. I think it will do just fine. And it would be totally awesome if Bing got at least 30-40% of market share. If you are marketer you should know that means lower adwords cost and stuff.

 

I think this is good. Maybe it means google wont be such a monoply nemore.

 

Bing is going to increase on the searches thats for sure. I noticed this yesterday which google does not do say you search for a site the page comes up now before you click to see the site slide your cursor to the right of that site another box comes up and will give you more info on the site, I like that feature and when people notice that will stay with bing thats a big plus.

 

I now use Bing and HopHunt everyday. Bing is for new generation and Google is for old child generation.

 

Haha Bing is no more "new generation" than Google. That's just the hype.

 

As you can see, Bing with HopHunt back end is now being used by young generations than Google.

 

Google still works just as well, it's the hype that's targeting the younger users.

 

I think there must be real competition with google.

 

Bing is latest launch by MSN. Hence, they know their work & we all know that they are doing right things.

 

Bing is only going to get better. I was struggling all day with adding Google's Custom Search box to my site...so many things that just weren't right...out of frustration i went to Bing to see what they had ...In no time Bing had me rethinking what I wanted for my site and I installed Bing's search box widget to my satisfaction with absolutely no trouble at all...I think I'm giving up on fighting with Google's search box..

 

zing! gotta love that last line

 

Is there a way to submit a website to bing? Like Google, Yahoo and MSN...

Thanks!

 

Now you see the difference, Bing loves webmasters
