Optimizing for Bing. Microsoft’s introduction of its new search engine, Bing, is proving to be a challenge for search engine optimization experts because it is changing the established ways of optimizing a web site. – - more…
Despite the best efforts of Bing and Yahoo, Google remains the king of the search engine jungle. As a matter of fact, Google has hit a full 72% of the search market. That’s huge!
The only search engine even on Google’s radar for U.S. usage at this point is Yahoo. Bing is not even a factor for Google at this point here in the States. While this could change eventually, the numbers are not doing well for Microsoft’s attempt.
What is actually comical when you look at the numbers really closely is that both Bing and Yahoo are mutually DOWN from Oct to Nov of 2009. But hey, maybe Bing can regain that whopping 2% over the month of Dec? After all, Bing is still pretty new and Yahoo has always sucked. So anything is possible.
It’s funny as one of the things I preferred about Facebook is that I was able to maintain more control over who could see my profile. And despite their push to get us to go public, I guess I still can.
So what is the deal with Facebook wanting to make our profiles public all of a sudden? What’s the catch? At least they were up front about it. To the degree of being able to make sure that we are still in a strong position to choose how public our profiles actually are.
Despite Facebook being fairly upfront this time around, many users are none too happy about the settings changes. Then again, I am not all that worried about it as Facebook did do a fairly good job explaining the differences with each choice selected.
