Utilizing Bing for the Future

    I've found that when it comes to search engines, it's very easy to show up on the first page of Bing, though not a lot of my traffic comes from the engine itself.

    Bing is slowly growing in popularity and has a lot of paid advertisements to back it, so would utilizing Bing and maxing my page ranks be a smart move for the future? Personally, I'm not sure if I see Bing at the level of Google and Yahoo, but it could certainly be a valuable asset.

    Is it worth taking the time to optimize my page rank in Bing?

    Absolutely false! When Bing was new, it grew to 10% market share. Since then it has fallen back to LESS than where Microsoft's Live Search was; at around 3%! On top of that, Bing now does Yahoo searches and has drug Yahoo down from 25% market share to about 10%.

    Bing kills search.

    I do not think will be grow that fast, even the search results seems better compared to current Yahoo. However, it does not hurt you to optimize your website for Bing as long as it does not effect your ranking in Google or your own preferred search engines.
