    Supposedly it has been live since Friday. I meant to check it out, but went for a mini vacation this weekend and didn't get around to it. I am anxious to see how it ranks things.

      It's picking up my Ip as far as I can see and giving me results that are localised to my location..

      So far Im not too impressed with it.

        Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to mess around with it later.

    I didn't know about Bing. I saw some hits from Bing to one of my article directories and thought it was just one of those little second tier engines. LOL

    Guess I should read up on it, huh?

    Every day I check the obituaries. If I don't see my name there, then I know it's going to be a good day!

    First impression looks like a copy paste from good ol Google. I thought this was going to be something new?

      Where as I'm ranking lower, so thumbs down

      But in reality, if this thing can deliver a different set of top 3 results to Google, I'd consider using it from time-to-time when I'm in need of something specific and Google isn't helping.

      The problem Bing will have is the same problem MSN Live Search had - what does it do that I'm not already getting from Google? And so far, I haven't found anything.

      It's too soon to make this call - but so far I haven't found the "killer app" usually required to steal marketing share.

        I had my first visitor from bing today.. I checked some of my rankings and I'm doing pretty good with them, not that I'm not already doing well enough with Google :-)

        I'll give you a hint.

        When your search results come up, click on the "video" link on the left.

        When you see the video wall, roll your mouse over any video.

        Wait a few seconds . . .

    Just saw this earlier today when i was checking to see if my new site had been indexed yet. Weirdly msn live search engine never use to index my site for ages and then i checked today and it was already indexed so definatly a good change i feel (so far anyway).

      Dang wonder if those "own Live search ebooks are still good":rolleyes: It won't be long before we have a few of them run through find and replace with Bing replacing Live.

  • Yup, checking Google Analytics I noticed some good traffic numbers from Bing.
