Saw this on Digg, they are search result comparisons between Google and Microsoft’s new “Bing” search engine with an $80 million ad campaign behind it:
Given those results, I have to imagine Microsoft is going to allow advertisers to pay for higher search result placement — which, like this, will give us more helpful and completely unrelated search results to pour over.
Update #1: Awesome, Marc Chung noticed this morning that using Microsoft’s new super-search engine Bing, that when you searched for “Search Engine”, Bing ranked AltaVista higher than Google.
Dave Bullock just commented that Microsoft seems to have fixed the problem by completely removing Google all together from “search engine” search results. Nice! Just wait until advertisers start paying for those results and Bing will give you “PetsMart.com” as a search result for “Toyota Prius”.
i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.
I use both Bing and Google search engine and i dont see much difference in their search results. I use google for searching hard to find academic topics and Bing for general search.
