My First Thoughts on Bing and The Results for Crenk
There has been a lot of talk recently about Bing and what amounts of traffic and growth it has been seeing. Other blogs such as the Inquisitr have been talking about how Bing has been bringing in more traffic than Yahoo. I just wanted to run through my first impressions of Bing and the results they have sent to Crenk.
Bing is very much the same as Live.com and I really think this is a marketing ploy from Microsoft than any major changes. The search engine still delivers poor results in comparison to Google and Yahoo. However, they are now adding channel specific search engines. For example if im looking for flights Bing works this out and then delivers me to the flight specific search engine within Bing. Thus, doing search this way provides more specific advertising opportunities and deliverys more detailed results that Google just cant compete with.
With regards to results from Bing to Crenk it has been very minimal. Bing has sent Crenk 171 pageviews, while Yahoo sent 1,629 and Google 60,195 in the same period. Thus, Bing has a huge amount of work to do to bring itself up to where it needs to be.

I use Bing found it very acceptable-I also use Lijit Topsy Google Nsyght Mahalo and more your evaluation is rather simplistic- get a statistician set up tables and graphs for let’s say for a year then I can agree with your comments! Remember as a user not really a Geek I am not so sure you are taking a really scientific approach-The Math behind no two search engines is alike or are their results-you must know that- Trust me Steve Balmer understands math semantics and general semanitcs-Bing is a new app how can you compare it with Google-Google is a one of a kind mathematical and semantic model
To be fair you should use results from at least 10 search engines not just your favorites
use-Mahalo,Topy,Nsyght,Lijit, and more then I can rate you as a critic-Respectfully Marshal Sandler a Crenk Subscriber !
