A bit about Bing

Published | 12.04, 16th of July 2009, by Chris van Aurich | SEO

Bing is Microsofts new search engine and replaces www.live.com.

They say:

"The explosive growth of online content has continued unabated, and Bing was developed as a tool to help people more easily navigate through the information overload that has come to characterise many of today's search experiences. Data from comScore Inc. shows that across all search engines, as many as 30% of searches are abandoned without a satisfactory result. The data also showed that approximately two-thirds of the remaining searches required a refinement, re-query or click back to the search results page.

With Bing, Microsoft aims to help people complete tasks faster by presenting better organised and more relevant content, great tools to help people in their search experience."

It is already the third most poplular search engine after Google and Yahoo, but could soon take over the number 2 spot. We have been looking at the impact of this new search engine and some key aspects that are key to SEO success are:

• Domain name age
• Anchor text
• Meta titles
• Content themes

These may change soon as we find out more about its structure and algorithms. So check back to find out more.

Microsoft only 3 years behind Google

Published | 10.31, 14th of July 2009, by Jay Vincent | Random

Microsoft have just released details of their online document suite, a lightweight version of Microsoft Office which will rival Google Docs - launched 3 years ago.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8148969.stm

I can't believe it's taken this long for Microsoft to catch up with this, 3 years is a lifetime in the technology world. 3 years ago, I still owned a couple of VHS video tapes and listening to CDs!

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Microsoft's new 'innovative' products, I use XP rather than Vista, and prefer Office 2003 to 2007. And I doubt the online Office 2010 will tempt me away from the simple and efficient Google Docs, but we will have to wait and see.
