    I quite like the results from Bing. In the UK, Google results have been pretty poor since early June in my particular niche - lots of US sites domainting the results. Bing shows a better spread of UK sites.

    Bing is an ancient search engine that does not include semantic
    probabilistic programming. But I do love the backgrounds. They are gorgeous
    and the best part is they did not change their formulas at the same time
    Google did so my website still has many (7) No.1 rankings for keywords and many dozens of first page results. So God Bless Microsoft. I never thought I'd say that, but yes now it is in print and I will be harassed forever. Ofcourse,
    I just meant in that small context.:)

    Bing traffic is insignificant at this point. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I get less than 10 referrals from Bing compared to hundreds from Google and Yahoo.
    You'll eventually get indexed by Bing. Until then, you are not missing on anything.

    For older sites you are right but for new sites I'm finding Bing sends most traffic while the sites are pretty much ignored by Google. Sites I've launched since Bing seem to be getting more traffic than they might have had I launched them last year.

    Yahoo indexes everything and it sort of Overdo it.
    I personally think Indexing is more related to more of Citations

    I just hope that Bing can catch up with Google and hope that it's bots can crawl as good as Google do.

    There are so many problems with Bing but maybe we're hating Microsoft form the start? A bit of a prejudice?

    Yeah, be patient. I'd focus on Google in the mean time.

    Bing is pretty much crap. It is a crappy search engine that looks nice.


    The STUPIDEST thing which I can not stand at all.. is how MSN.com is trying to push Bing sooo much. Not that I really use MSN for news, but half the time I do and try to read more information about a story, the link on MSN.com just goes to a Bing results page.... where 90% of the time the content on that page doesn't even relate to the story..

    Bing's sandbox is having a long lag.
    Thats why your page is not coming now..

    They have some major issues with bing. If you go in there community forums your see tons of instances of peoples sites disappearing for no reason. Hopefully they can improve or they will have no chance at all in making up ground on Google

    They indexed up to 5 pages of my site, now that dropped back to 2 pages. Gave up wondering why, I don't think that their technology is working fine for the moment.
    We'll have to give it some time and focus on Google in the meantime.

    bing by me is not user frendly, somehow I was dark and repulsive (hard), which certainly affects the entire user experience.

    We have all been in the same situation at one point or another. Try focusing on improving your site and making business relationships. Try some PR. Try writing a few articles. There's lots to do....
