The Maine SEO Blog

I admit it, I’ve been positively ignorant of the fact that there’s another search engine out there willing to trifle with the power of Google; you’ll have to excuse my hesitation, it’s just that we’ve seen it before.

I put it out to the people, and here’s what I got:

What people like

• “I love the Travel Search feature Bing has.  It has a cool Price Predictor which tells you whether to buy now or wait for a better price. Imports prices from all over ” – @ccmaine
• “Love how Bing lists its videos.” – @sarah_wallace
• “I’ve had really good luck with it when search for something in the form of a question or multiple word descriptions.” – @MeRAbiz

What people don’t like

• “Nothing special (I’m kind of partial to Google though)” – @musicsGF
• “Like Chrome, adequate, but no compelling reason to switch” – @JMunk
• “I don’t think the search itself offers much new; some of the media type searches (images, for example) are good alternatives” – @justinrussell
• “Like the Cashback and Live ID integration…not a huge fan of the results or auto-suggestions really” – Justin Cox
• “To be honest I haven’t even compared it’s functionality to ever awesome Google, I’m too distracted by the pretty background pictures!” – @kwallace2

There you have it, folks. There are of course the negative reviews and (somewhat) positive ones. But what it really comes down to is…what do you like the best? It looks like that Google is still king.
