Do you rank better in Google or Bing?

I rank a lot better in Bing. For my exact domain search, after around a month, my rankings for 4 of my sites are:

Google: #41
Bing: #6

Google: #19
Bing: #4

Google: #15
Bing: #4

Google: #38
Bing: #13

Strange how different they are...

What about you?

    You may be ranking better in Bing, but bing search volume is only a portion of what google's is.

    Of course. Not only focusing on Bing/Yahoo, when doing SEO-stuff it -hopefully- effects both, can't do Google-only SEO or otherwise, as far as I know. But, not always bad to be a big fish in a small pond, too!

    As all know Google is the king is SEO industry. But its true sometimes you are not in top rankings for some key phrases in Google but in Bing you are. But is doesn't mean that Bing is best or Google is best. Simply logic is that both have their own spiders and algorithms. If you want to reach to common man then start trying to be in top searches in Google because people usually search in Google more then Bing.

      For some reason I actually rank better in Google for most of my sites. Not sure why - I always thought that it would be easier to rank in Bing.

        I don't even try getting ranked on Bing. For me, SEO means Google.

            Bing will probably have different algorithms to Google and most of the time your site seems to rank higher with Bing than Google, but all of your energies should be with Google as approximately 70% of people use that as their preferred search engine, but don't ignore totally ignore Bing and the others.

      Bing uses the same algorithm as Yahoo, the search results are identical for me between the two.

      I rank better in Google and I think Google's results are better

    You really don't need to waste your time on Bing even yahoo because 85% of Total Search Market is on the hand of google. So Focus on Google and see wonders comes to you.
