I would love to see a bigger improvement of bing. Especially in my country (italy) it’s around 1% usage and I think that in this moment (panda, then penguin) they should do a great seo favor to the community improving their quality.

Honestly, what is bing waiting for? sometimes I get the feeling there is a gentleman’s agreement on the part of bing and google to not compete with each other

bing/yahoo: “LoL, we’ll remove YSE, what’ll you guys do?”

google: “We’ll remove referrer data (unless you are a paying client) and call it a ‘security’ issue. They’ll see ‘Not Available’ for their keywords. It’ll drive them nuts! LoL”

bing/yahoo: “ROLFcopters”

I had ping the bing for my website http://www.addenda.us so many time, even its daily updated, new content there but no crawl

I also agree that Bing should make their first big step. Although Google is so difficult to defeat, nothing is impossible in this world. Maybe who knows, in the next 3 years we’ll start saying “Bing it” rather than “Google it” (Bing it honestly sounds funnier, now that I say it).

Thank you for your nice post

I would like to see a bunch of other SEs give Google a run for their money. But, seriously, they have to return valid results if I’m going to use them. Bing, for one, returns millions and millions of results . .. and who cares? If the top ones aren’t really close to what I wanted, I click back over the google and try again.

Thanks Dewaldt! Me too. I think they can do a better job of listening than Google, because honestly, you can’t get worse than G when it comes to listening…

Thanks Kristinn, I feel the same way. There days are now numbered. It's just tough because I feel like we've been saying this for the last 12-18 months, and almost nothing has come out of their competition. I just want to see some progress against them.

I really hope so Tommy, but it’s scary knowing just how many bright minds work at Google, and that even if they make a mistake in the short run, it’s hard to completely extinguish them; that’s why I just want to see some healthy competition to keep them in check.

Exactly, we need healthy competition to keep the other in check. When we don’t, we see stuff like what Google has done recently with Not Provided and SPYW.

Exactly. It’s stupid that they’re not including them, because honestly, they’re a lot more helpful to a searcher than a ghost town of a G+ profile.
