I always ask about this, I think Bing is not so bad compared to the competitors such as yahoo and google
Because Google and Yahoo are already established when Bing came to the internet world. It is actually not a right time when Bing came out because Google was already the best search engine you can use out there.
For the record, Yahoo isn't compitetor of Bing. Yahoo is using Bing, as far back as 2009. Read http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8174763.stm. You can also look at the footer of search.yahoo.com. It says "Powered by Bing™"
and you've never accepted one of the answers you've been given? Lets see if I can be the one that stops you always asking. Bing was "late to market" and didn't bring anything that wasn't already being done. To get a significant amount of market share they needed to be doing something different or better, and they're not. They only exist now because Microsoft and Yahoo have managed to get strategic partnerships with large ISPs whose customers (on the whole) are too thick, lazy or complacent to change their default search back to Google.
because most people answer with a little information. I agree with BING already too late to come up with the popularity of google, but I think people also need a little bit to see what can be done by BING.
That's what Bing needs but I don't think people NEED that at all as they are searching and finding what they need well enough right now.
Google has dominated the worldwide traffic. If checked from Alexa tool, Google is having top 1 largest traffic in the world. This make people to prefer use Google compared to Bing.
Bing has long surpassed Yahoo. I remember back in 2011 or 12 they were saying how Bing is more influential than Yahoo. And I wouldn't throw Google into this mix since neither Yahoo nor Bing are on par with it.
Dear, The main reason is Google have more specific content then other search engines. And it is delivering, what exactly user wants. And Google has made a name like everyone has its name in their mouths. So any search engine who wants to fight with Google, he need to do online marketing + mouth to mouth marketing for making his name in the market. Thanks, Abhishek
Google is well established And people know about it And what to expect. Bing is new… They will grow in time.
I think Bing is less popular as Google, because Google is a fast and the oldest service, it is really popular among all the people because it works with of websites and allows people to embed their search engines in their websites.
Bing is actually decent but Google was in the search game well before Microsoft "got the picture". Therefore, Google has brand superiority. In recent years, Bing introduced some novel ideas (such as categories on the search pages, theme for the front page, etc.) that Google started copying them. Google was smart enough to move beyond the desktop and into tablets and mobile, so it's search engine is basically everywhere. Apple did the same with its Safari browser. Microsoft is forever playing catch-up - even in the mobile arena. I do like Bing though and occasionally, some of their search pages yielded more accurate results than Google.
I don't agree with you! Yahoo! isn't a popular search engine! In my opinion, Google is number one because it always gives you what you want! Bing is also one of the best search engines, but it still not too good as Google is.
I tell you the reason by an example: search for example "wallpaper" in both Google and Bing. Google: 584,000,000 results Bing:17,100,000 results Of course quality search in Google is better than Bing.
The days of the number of results meaning anything are long gone. I take a more personal approach when evaluating the two. If I do a search how likely am I to find a useful result on page 1? page 2? I don't even go to page 3 any more.
ummm the reason is.. google is very user friendly and the information you get will be really relevant.
