Is Bing slowly overtaking Google?

15 years ago

I'm still loving Google because their search is so much better, but Bing may be overtaking other parts. Who knows what happens in a few years. Skynet?

Thanks

I think that depends a little on what you're searching for. I've been getting better results in Bing for some searches. As an interesting aside, Google gets compared to Bing more and more as being too big and too powerful.

Lots of sites are using bing maps , Garmins online tools switched as well so it must be a marketing ploy by bing.

Forget about bing overtaking google it's facebook that are setting the pace now, I did some research last week for a blog post and Facebook is driving more traffic to a lot of sites now than google.

i hope not, i always have a tough time ranking in Bing. some sites won't even get indexed, and i just put that down to microsoft being cr*p. but we'll see.

if you look at most search trends in google (using trends) you'll notice that MOST tend to decline - i'm not sure whether that is down to the economy or google slowly losing market share.

Thanks

I have a tough time ranking in Bing too. But I'm told that it's the exact opposite of Google to rank on. While Google mostly relies on backlinks as more important, Bing relies on on page SEO and valued content. It's what I've been told anyway.

that's absolutely right, but i've tried pumping out the keyword thick content to no avail. i know bing also loves exact match domains, which i think google was doing about 10 years ago. which shows how far bing has to come to match the mighty G.

Maybe we should work together
I will rank the site in Bing/yahoo and you in google

As a search engine Google is still king

As a traffic generator for website owners Google still is king.

In fact my yahoo and bing traffic combined still doesnt beat Google.

However Bing has definitely grown and has gained lots of ground on Yahoo.

  It seems like it has just about fallen off the map. It's so funny how fortunes can change so quickly, especially since Yahoo was such a dominant force back in the 90s - it was the de facto search engine back then, but today it's lost a lot of its significance.
  
  It's a little like the role reversal between Facebook and MySpace, which has been relegated to nothing more than a curiosity.

Yahoo search is powered by Bing!

Google has more users than Bing but that doesn't make it a superior search engine.

A marketer not being able to get their page ranked high on Bing doesn't make Google superior either.

Microsoft has also partnered with Facebook to share data such as the Like feature so it can be implemented within Bing.

Latest search engine market share results are still showing Google in a very strong position, and in many cases the Google market share has risen a bit (c.f. Bing et al). So it might be that Bing maps is being used more, but the search aspect of things is still solidly in favour of Google (despite the recent bad press they've been having)

Google could be overtaken by Bing if they stop whatever they're doing and not care about further developing their business, which is not the case.

To be fair, people said that about Google competing 10 years ago when Altavista was the biggest (by far) search engine.

So I wouldn't say that it's impossible for a company who makes tens of billions of profit per year (Microsoft) to overtake and/or kill Google.

That being said: I don't think that Bing will beat Google no (I'm just pointing out that I wouldn't say it's impossible 'is all)

Bing may steal a little of the market-share from Google, for regular search ... but in the long-run, I think Google is still going to win out.

That said, I do actually prefer Bing maps. I think the "birds eye view" / "aerial photographs" are taken from a more pleasing perspective. Google's are more or less just "top down", but Bing's look to be taken from something of an angle, which gives them more depth and allows a place to be more easily distinguished, in my opinion.

At least, I can certainly more easily distinguish and recognise areas round here from Bing's photos, than I can Google's.

Thanks

You sure you weren't watching MSNBC? Of which microsoft owns roughly an 18% stake in... All kidding aside, with the fusion of bing+yahoo there is going to be more people using these two search engines in the future.

Sure Google is #1 when it comes to total traffic, but you should never forget about the other search engines.

Facebook is easily in a position that it could overtake the search engine market. Right now it's search capabilities suck, but if they ever decide to hone it in, they'll quickly swallow up a huge market share. The way facebook allows the spreading of apps, and the integration of their api into websites is marketing genius. The entire internet is being swallowed up by them like a giant virus. - And who knows, the way facebook is going, you may not even need a search engine. Facebook will know what you're looking for before you even ask.

Who cares? Because your SEO methods will need to change to accommodate Bing if they do take it over. They are different algorithms, etc.

I'll bet a Nickel that you were watching either NBC or MSNBC.

Those news networks would be using an MS product for the same reason they promoted Obama. Their parent company instructed them to do so. (In the politics arena, GE had business relationships that were enhanced with Obama's election.)

If Bing is trying to compete with Google then It'll be a great challenge for Bing. Google is the top most search engine in the world for a long time and still now Google is dominating the world of internet. I don't think Bing can provide more updated service than Google.

The licensing deal for the maps is probably better than with Google. Or maybe it was an NBC/MSNBC kind of thing going on.

psst... kids,

If you are really trying to figure out how to rank well on both bing and google. Do a search, find a couple of sites that rank well on both and look under the hood. What are those sites doing that works for both?

101waystomakemoney.com is a starting point for ya. #1 google, #2 bing

Buncha microsoft haters, nothing wrong with bing. Google appears to be doing everything they can to copy all of bings features.
