New Microsoft Search Engine - Bing

Postby eoinzy » Wed Jun 03, 2009 3:53 pm

It definately has a crap name, but is it any good?

It looks just like a lighter version of google, and this site doesnt rank highly in it for phrases like dingo and stew, and even eoinzy!

Therefore, I declare it 4th in the list, after Google, Yahoo, and MSN, even tho it replaced MSN and MSN isnt even in use anymore!!

Funnily enough, the search engines i rank the highest always happen to be in my top 5 last bots visited on the home page.

Being serious though, I'm happy it has it own webmaster centre. Its a lot like Yahoo's webmaster tools in the way that it basically lets u do relatively basic stuff. It shows you a few sites that link to you. it lets you submit sitemaps, u can also see how ur site ranks for particular keywords, which is a nice feature, and one that google webmaster tools does not have.

However, the google webmaster tools are much better, especially for sites with a lot of inbound links. You can also tell google which country ur site is aimed at and it gives u a week by week display of what phrases ppl have been searching for when ur site came up, along with their positio and where they ranked. Bing webmaster centre is not nearly as advanced as this....YET!

I'll admit, its only new (a few days old at this stage) so theres probably still gonna be stuff added to it.

so as long as they start to rank the word eoinzy higher, then i'll be happy! :D

Don't like it.
Its throwing up too many non-related stuff - and sometimes some right bizarre replies.

Best one for me was/ still is the Yahoo search engine.
