I have started using bing from some time now, but i still feel Google is the best, Bing is new from the MSN basket, they have changed the algorithm a bit and looks good but a long way far from Google to compare. Thanks
Bing was like the promise land because many thought it would even out the playing field as msn promised it wouldn't rip any data stats from yahoo or google and would start off its indexing freshly..not sure what is up though because it seems to index sites at such a slow pace that's it not worth of focusing on optimizing for it. I applied and submitted on day one and have about ten urls total coming up in bing searches behind sites that don't even carry my type of content.
My average is like 1 bing visitor for every 50 from google..if you got bing to work for you please by all means share the details.
I only use it a couple of times just to test it out. But seriously the search results seem to be relevant as well. But anyway, I haven't fully using it because I've been so used to google for so long now.
Bing has a new algorithm because:
1. My sites where always ranked well in MSN, but they never show up in Bing
2. Bing never makes me relevant search results
3. You can't be even top in Bing by searching your own doman name so that's really sucks
4. While before MSN still sent me some visitors (5-6% of Google's volume), Bing hardly sends anyone. Even such kind of engines like Aol, Search or Ask are sending much more.
One big complaint I`ve seen is the length of time it takes to even get indexed by Bing. I can`t understand why they are so slow compared to the other `biggies` like Google and Yahoo. I jut don`t think they are helping themselves.
