Last week, Microsoft launched Decision Engine (not to be confused with Search Engine!) called Bing.
Microsoft Bing buzz rose 21% last week, and I gotta tell you – it’s very interesting. PLUS, my site ranks higher for a lot of keywords compared to Google so I’m already liking it a little better.
When you visit there – scroll over the picture facts. And check out the “videos!” You don’t have to visit sites any longer – you can just mouseover to see the whole video. All these features from the video – don’t worry – Google is on top of it and racing to implement new features soon! It’s the nature of online business.
Enjoy the video!

Hi there. My name is Kit Elliott. I'm living proof that someone with ZERO marketing knowledge and ZERO programming/design experience can create a residual income online. I understand the struggle because I was stuck at ZERO for a long time, and after 1200 websites, membership sites, adsense sites, funny websites, and more - I understand the key components to building passive residual income. SuperAffiliate shows you the strategies, the tools, the pitfalls, and the scams to watch out for. If you need anything from me, let me know. I'm here to help! Just Ask!

Not personally a fan of the whole popup information thing on the side of results. Just a personal preference, but I can see the appeal for others.
I did several tests on Bing the day of launch and wasn’t totally unsatisfied, but just as unsatisified with the results as I was with Live Search. Of course my searches don’t have to do with Travel, Healthcare, or Shopping, so that may have been my issue.
I suspect the “buzz” or increased comscore or increased traffic all had to do with launching a new site. It isn’t hard to see that if you do a media blitz on a new site (especially for someone like MS) that you will see an uptick in your traffic. If I had that kind of media coverage and did TV ads, I would also suspect a big increase. That doesn’t mean my site has done a good job of actually enhancing its search engine, it just means it has done a good job of marketing. Getting people to the site is 1/2 the battle. Getting them to come back after testing it out is where the implementation of strategy is going to be seen. I personally can’t say I will go back any more than the amount of times I went to Live Search (usually only to test it out to see if they fixed the thing and compare results to other engines).
I am interested to see how much marketshare they pick up in say a years time, as that will be a better measure.

Well, that’s just Johnny’s 2 cents.
