More news on Bing (MSN, Windows Live etc) this week - according to Nielsen Bing has acquired over 10% market share.
News about any online phenomenon is close to obsolete as soon as it is
reported. This is especially true in reporting on the battle for
supremacy between search engine leaders Google, Bing, and Yahoo!.
It is not surprising that it's hard to get relevant information on
what recent search market developments mean for the online advertising
and SEO community. The search algorithms of these search services are
updated daily; interactions between these companies are complex and
constantly shifting; proposed corporate partnerships involve anti-trust
issues and require the approval of a cautious government.
How cool is this, Bing (you know, one of the other search engines) is giving away cash and a cool Bing backpack.
I was asked by a photographer friend of mine the other day for some
help with her ad words copy. Though a little rusty since I ran a full
campaign I figured it was a good excuse to blow the dust of my Ad Words
hat and familiarize myself with the Google search marketing tool again.
