    How many of you switched to Bing recently?

    Just curious...

    After 13 years, my home page is now Bing... (they've made a few changes over the years and the results seem far better than Google's lately).

    Between the enormous amount of ads on Google now, and Amazon.com being in the results on page one of nearly every non porn search (and some porn searches too lol)... along with a ton of results on page 1-2 that are just blank pages or empty blogs with "hello world" it was just too much for me.

    Google calls their recent updates a success, but based on that I'm guessing they are not actually using their search engine. lol

      Since I learned HTML I've always made my own start pages. I point my browser to a collection of pages locally on my hard drive and I update them as needed.

              Bing stealing results from Google is all I really needed to know about Bing.

                  I find I have to use Bing for about 70% of my searches since Penguin. The results on Google are just not meeting what I am looking for. Especially local searches.

                      Yeah I do too. I got the idea from a computer mag article about SuperKickStart.

                      I also find I'm using Bing a lot more these days. Pretty respectable search.

                          You clearly aren't a webmaster. Metrics are what matter, not some retarded ass feeling you get about an engine based on what they supposedly did.


                          For me yahoo/bing traffic has a lower bounce rate across the board right now.

                              No but I have been getting pretty frustrated with google results lately. Those annoying "local directory results" taking up the first half of the page when it's not what you're looking for, and too much amazon crap.

                                      I tried https://duckduckgo.com/ (got some cool features) a while some months ago but then I switched back to google.

                                                  about:blank is my start page, but yes I've been using Bing a lot over the past week or so.

                                                  Google's results are getting more fucked up every time the sun rises. If 6 results on page 1 don't even contain the majority of the keywords you did a search for, you know they messed up really bad.

                                                      It makes me happy to hear more and more complaints about google search quality.

                                                      Hopefully more and more people will switch to yahoo/bing, as I'm conquering 1st positions there while google thinks my sites are shit and not worth first 100 pages or so :D

                                                              Seems that Bing and Yahoo results have been much more relevant for the last year really.

                                                              The bounce rate is much lower for Bing and Yahoo too, which indicates more relevant results. Unfortunately the volume of traffic is less than 10% of Google on my sites, even though I usually rank much better on Bing and Yahoo.

                                                              Only problem is that only Internet marketers pay attention to these differences. The general public just goes with Google based on habit and lack of knowledge.

                                                              If only there was a way to convey to the masses that they will be much happier and more productive with their searches on Bing.

                                                                          I guess I should have worded it more about switching search engines to find shit vs a homepage.

                                                                                                          That was only in very isolated cases, like a completely random word that appeared in only one page on the web, that Bing hadn't yet crawled. From memory it had something to do with the toolbar finding that URL; they were not routinely and systematically scraping Google's SERPs.

                                                                                                          I've been using Bing for a while due to Google frequently requiring me to complete a CAPTCHA, or even just showing a page saying "we can't process your request right now" with no offer of continuing once I prove myself to be human. I still use Bing even when I'm on other computers that aren't saddled with this issue. Give Bing a try, you may be surprised...

In fact I would say they did a self-inflicted body shot...Media is picking up on it fast as it affects all the businesses that own the media that Google is fucking with.lol

                                                                                                                          Increase profits from Adwords, while also losing some search market share to competitors...thus making it harder for the government to bring an antitrust suit. Ridiculous theory maybe. But the fact that they are claiming Penguin to be a success makes it seem they are perfectly happy with the crappy search results.

                                                                                                                            Comment
