    Except you get as much traffic when you are on page 5 of Google as you do from being #1 in Bing.

    At Pubcon last year (Big SEO Conference), there was a Bing rep there to do a session on Bing. People went to his session... and he never showed. Bing doesnt even take themselves seriously.

    There was also one of the head guys from AOL teaching an SEO session on... how to rank in google. LOL.

      LOL that is hilarious but completely what I would've expected based on my experience with them.
      I was speaking with one of their sales representative asking about their rules and regulations for acceptable ads and their answer was "you know Google's rules right? pretty much the same as them"

      There is no doubt about that, but once search results get "annoying" and the obvious commercial BIAS cannot be ignored anymore it's time to switch.

      Go and do a few searches on Google and the same search on Bing (or other good search engines) and compare. And then make a decision.

      And maybe other people will follow...

        I have favorable rankings across all search engines. I dont have to go do searches to see if I like a search engine better. I like Google. I tried Bing and hated it. Back in the day, I used to use Hotbot. That was my favorite.

        I look at my analytics. My main two traffic sources are google organic and PPC. #3 is Bing organic with less that a third of what google organic brings in.

        My business model is to target traffic where it is. Right now, traffic comes from Google. When I see Bing or another search engine taking over Google, then I will adjust accordingly. In the meantime and near future, and by near future I mean next 5 years, Google is the #1 traffic source.

    I am completely taken back by the amount of usable information in this post
    To add on to the informative information provided I will offer up the following, you get about 5% of the maximum traffic you would get from Google with the same conversion rate.

    If searching for something I no longer use Google, they are ***** and am not prepared to help their business in any way. Now the Searching Engine of choice is: DuckDuckGo. It is decent search enginge that is as good as G.

    Only use Google to see where sites are ranking, etc. I say everybody should boycott Google.

      I thoroughly enjoyed the cleanliness of DuckDuckGo and they definitely bring back relevant results to exactly what I'm looking for.

      LOL. I rank #2 for a few one word and two word head phrases on that search engine (keywords which drive 100K plus traffic a month). So I went and looked at my analytics for the past year. I have 4 visits from them.

      Good luck with that.

    Over the past 3 months I've had more and more visitors to my sites from DDG.

    Search Engine Land wrote an interesting Google vs. DDG article at Could DuckDuckGo Be The Biggest Long-Term Threat To Google?.

    One thing I like about DDG (other than their privacy policy) is how more search results display on the frontpage.

    DDG search volume is exploding since Jan 2012. Google was once the upstart. It's not inconceivable another search engine dominates. Although Google can easily tweak its display/presentation to stop annoying people.

    Will I bet the farm DDG will dominate? No. Is it impossible? No.

    DDG has an ad campaign promoting how Google tracks users and that DDG doesn't. I think it's a search engine worth watching and I'm sure Google is paying attention given its increase PR and explosive search growth.
