Wow, incredible Bing traffic to my site!

    Most of my sites are enjoying significant Bing traffic and one of them gets more traffic from Bing than from Google! It's a gardening site.

    Seems things are really taking off for Microsoft! My hope is they have to grow stronger by standing on its own feet, monetizing on advertisement like Google is doing - or it's simply unsustainable.

    Thats interesting for me Bing is still trailing behind yahoo on all of my sites. Maybe it publikly pushed did everyone from bing go to the same page or follow any trends.

    It's nice to see people, like gurukid22 and others, who truthfully report what they are seeing instead of being a Microsoft shill like the OP and others elsewhere. Bing usage is less than Yahoo's and if you're site is getting more traffic from Bing than Google, that's a sad comment about your site and not anything positive about Bing.

    Bing/LiveSearch has never sent more than about 3% for me.

    Though I did hit it big on one keyterm which sent about 300 hits per day once, but that faded after 2 or 3 months.

    I have one site that receives more traffic from Bing than Google/Yahoo but that's only because Google banned it because of duplicate content and on Bing it is at #1 spot :)

    I've actually seen a drop in traffic from Bing recently; down from 4% to 2%. I guess Bing doesn't like my sites :D

    i have noticed any increase in traffic from bing lately too...probably has a little to do with the massive advertising campaign they have been running recently

    bing traffic surely picked up after launch but only time will tell if it'll stay this way. It's always nice to have an alternative to google.

    I've noticed that a few sites are killing it for certain keywords on Bing while the big G just ignores them. The sites are low on content but high on backlinks.

    All engines adjust things from time to time. :)

    Bing traffic consists of around 6% - 10% for most of my sites. Considering Yahoo is now using Bing as the search vendor. Bing is contributing 15% of my overall traffic without a doubt.

    For a couple of my non-English sites Bing surprisingly brings more traffic than local national search engines.

    Hi,

    My experiance with google and bing:

    I'm in very very strong competitive market/niche about 50-70.000.000 competitors and my site is struggling on page 1 to page 3 for few very strong keywords, it is been very hard work to get even there and now it is even harder to get that top 10 rankings to be strong and stable.

    Before a month or so I have noticed that Bing is bringing me quite a lot of traffic. Now Bing sends me 60% of my site traffic and has overtake even google, also I'm top 10 for all my targeted keywords on bing and also top 3 for some strong terms. I have done nothing for bing optimization and still he brings me so much traffic. I'm very happy with that and hoping that site would stay that way for a long time..

    Also, I would like to mention that conversion from bing is better than google.

    Nemanja
