Bing is the default search engine for internet explorer. They also have a nice layout. I think they will become number 1 soon.
You are a lucky man, I did not see any traffic increase from Bing although it does get me a little traffic.
I dont see any real traffic from BING, probably they are going to be a bigger hit with non technical users, than the webmaster type.
Well I also feel that Bing is giving better traffic then Yahoo atleast for my 10 days old Blog. I am getting 4-5 hits from Bing daily to compare 1-2 from Yahoo. Although Bing only index 4 pages of mine but I am happy to get traffic. Google always king for me who sent 130 hits so far in last 10 days.
I think and hope... BING must fail. And all of you, should be supporting me on this... WHY? Because Bing allows users to see the content before the visit the website, through AJAX tooltips. What does that mean? They might see a bad section of text from your page, and based on that, decide your website is not the best option, and not come to your website (even though it may be what they are looking for). Of course, there could be a counter-argument, like "well then now they judge you on your title instead of a description", yes but in terms of amount of users searching the web, there will be a lot less clicks to visit sites, unlike in Google where people will open 10 tabs of the SERP, just to see which is best.
I think this new search engine is indeed promising, especially now that it's attempting to compete with Google. Way to go Bing!
As a CPA marketer, the quality of traffic from bing is far superior than yahoo or google. BING is an affiliate marketers dream. Cheap, high quality traffic.
lol. Good luck with that. Like I said elsewhere, getting traffic from Bing is like a tree falling in the forest when there's no one around to hear it.
Are you guessing or lying? ALL the market share charts show Bing has half the usage of Yahoo which is 1/3 of Google.
SAN FRANCISCO – Microsoft Corp. has finally roped Yahoo Inc. into an Internet search partnership, capping a convoluted cat-and-mouse game that dragged on for years. The 10-year deal announced Wednesday gives Microsoft access to the Internet's second-largest search engine audience, adding a potentially potent weapon to the software maker's Internet arsenal as it girds for an all-out assault against online search and advertising leader Google Inc. The extended reach will allow Microsoft to introduce its recently upgraded search engine, called Bing, to more consumers. The Redmond, Wash.-based software maker believes Bing is just as good, if not better, than Google's search engine. Taking over the search responsibilities on Yahoo's highly trafficked site gives Microsoft a better chance to convert Web surfers who had been using Google by force of habit Read more of this on yahoo home page
I think its a good feature to save your time and avoid MFA websites. At least the hard working guys will get top positions in a search.
I ,myself, am sick of Google and having to arrange my sites according to their liking. I hope Bing takes over Google's spot. I've already began SEO for Bing and feel comfortable it won't be a mistake. Most of my traffic now comes from Bing, Bing likes my sites! Google is a daily hope and pray I've not upset them and got penalized for no telling what...
I've also noticed the click thru rate higher from Bing users, can't prove it yet but it will become more evident with most of us, someone will figure it out. I saw a post on chitka's blog claiming the same with a little graph but who knows for sure? Google is a tyrant, needs to go down! Hey I just came up with a new blog site title!
