Bing is bringing some traffic to here

Posted in Stuff in General on June 2nd, 2009 by Kent

image Microsoft just released its new search engine lately which they hope they can compete with Google in some way. I started seeing some traffics that came from it, a little bit more than before. Not sure if it continues but I hope so. For that matter, I actually welcome this new service and hope it will be doing good.

The home page, see the screenshot at right, looks not bad, certainly not decent but can’t really say ugly or bad either.

The search result page, however, is certainly very poor designed. Whoever designed that page is no way a designer and should not be doing job like this at all. Even in-creative I can do the design much better than this. Why the heck did they put this ugly blended image in the background at the top the page?

Not only that, the logo, is crappy which looks more like something you’d use for a yogurt brand than a search engine, which I agree.

    BING search engine is just as good as Google. In my own personal experience, Google does give more releveant search result than Bing but the difference is very small. **

    i am a user of Microsofts BING search engine and it is as good as google for static webpage search. for searching blogs, i think google gives more relevant search results compared bing.

    my default search engine is Yahoo but now i am using BING because it is much better than Yahoo. i heard that Bing search engine would power Yahoo search also.

    i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.

    I use both Bing and Google search engine and i dont see much difference in their search results. I use google for searching hard to find academic topics and Bing for general search.
