I personally have seen the gap existing between google and other search engines relatively. Its a welcome sign that MS is deploying new strategy to make their advertising industry to work for their own right. But how are the end clients going to reap the benefits? According to the above data mentioned by the advertising company bing can be more susceptible but i am little worried over the longevity. Lets wait and see if the same trend continues in the future too.
Cheers!

I think Bing’s success may be largely due to the hype of it being new. To be honest, I have yet to see how it is a “decision engine” although admittedly, I haven’t used it that much other than the curious searches of a new search engine. I think Microsoft would better serve itself and the browsing community if they started showing exactly why this decision engine makes searching better and how to do it. Again, I speaking from inexperience so perhaps others here can comment on their experiences. And maybe Microsoft intends to roll out instruction a little bit at a time so as to not overwhelm.

Best,
Jim

This is really interesting. Is the (relatively small) crowd that use Microsoft’s service a better focus group for affiliate marketing, i.e., should you put more effort into focusing on optimizing for Bing? Another factor that could have an effect on these result is how Bing and Yahoo will be integrated.

Very interesting. I think you are probably right that people who use Bing are more susceptible to being caught by advertising. MS is a very commercial company and atracts to it people who like or don’t mind heavy commercialism. Google on the other hand has a sort of educational air to it – staying close to its roots at Stamford.

It’ll be interesting to see if that trend continues long-term, especially as search volume on Bing increases. If it holds, that’s good news for content providers. Recently I was pleasantly surprised to see that Bing was sending more visitors to one of my sites than Yahoo, and I guess a bit more competition for Google isn’t a bad thing at all.

It’s just the other way of Microsoft to conquer the world
