Hi guys, Microsoft is to release Bing, do you think it will become a strong competetion to Goolge? And how it will affect our traffic and earnings?
Bing is nice and I am pulling for them. If it were to happen it would probably take some time though.
Bing drive traffics to my website, I think it's good. I don't know how long the bing will exist Google is still the best one. Google has some good products like adsense and accept everyone as their member in the world. Bing, MSN, Live, Yahoo only for limited country and they don't give feedback to their visitor ( i mean money ), according to me google is the best. I see something funny on bing one page dominate by one domain content, like this if you have keyword "bluetooth", bing will record all content that have "bluetooth" keyword and show all of its or repeat the content again. The search result like spams. They don't filter search result.
I also got traffic from Bing today. So this makes me happy. Have to see how this turns out. Remember. Yahoo WAS King before Google.
Agreeing with cdbelajar, I too am observing a spike in traffic from Bing today. I think it has got a very good image searching algorithm because, the alt names I have used until now are prominently being displayed in the image searches. Waiting for more visitors and more crawling of webspiders from Bing in the days to come.
nope.. I guess google will improve its algorithm to produce more accurate and more appropriate results.
Maybe even a MSN-Yahoo tandem could not take Google down that easily, Bing will gone through a lot before they get next to Google.
BING Will reduce google but not completly take over. Maybe putting bing as the homepage of ie after launching windows 7 will help them a lot
I hope Bing will emerge as strong competition to Google. If they come out really tough, Google will be forced to improve even more. I agree that competition is good news for us
I think google has built their reputation over the years, it is not easy for bing to compete with Google. Google still no 1
Well , i don't think so because they just change the name , they not change server style and algorithm ,
Bing has a much faster image search. Also web search is faster than Google. But will have to wait and see whether it does it consistently. Still it will take it years to earn the reputation that GOOGLE has. GOOGLE is still the best for me.
Mmm, Its 10:45pm here in Australia, Analytics stats are a bit delayed, but so far today.. Baidu = 1, Yandex = 3, Ask = 4, altavista = 4, MSN = 5, aol = 5, Live = 6, search = 28, Bing = 49 only got 15 from bing yesterday. So not to bad I guess, hope it increases. But then there's Yahoo = 571, Google = 1,852. Bing has a long way to go to catch up to Yahoo and Google. But I wish them luck. Cheers James
The larger competition the better for us . Bing is live evolution. For my country, Google is still better. Last several months Live took share in search market, but from Yahoo!. And another thing: I noticed that pictures in background in Bing are Silverlight .
Whenever it comes to bing discussions, the first question that pops into my mind is "what about live search?". If live failed and was - seems like - just abandoned, why should bing be a wonder of a search engine. Right now, I'm pretty skeptical. Anyway, we'll have to see until there are tangible results to analyze, because speculating about Wolfram Alpha's/Bing's beating Google is all fine, but what's the point.
