    GA is counting Bing.com search traffic as referrals and not registering the keywords that Bing.com traffic is bringing me... whats up with this?

    I just checked mine and it showed up as referral.. Maybe Bing is to be taken as a competitor for Google ;)

    Or so Google consider them to be one..

    Yeah, I got a bunch of bing traffic the last couple of days and it's showing up as a referral. I'm sure google analytics will get it fixed and start showing it as search engine traffic before too long.

    I don't care how google analytics is recording it, it's nice to have a new source of traffic. Bing seems to be producing more traffic than MSN or LIVE.

    Yes, definitely agree that, early in the game, Bing is generating solid traffic numbers. Not as high as Big Brother, yet, but promising.

    how much traffic are you getting from Bing exactly? And if you don't want to disclose that can you give the ratio of Google to Bing traffic so we can get an idea if you are receiving more Bing traffic than G? Chances are you have a well optimized Onpage SEO..but not so good offpage if you are getting more Bing than G traffic. Just a guess though.

    Sounds interesting you are getting good traffic, how much do you get? Bing looks promising and love their feature of on-mouse-over, you will see some other information, email and "sitelinks" of the site.
