MSN’s new counterpart Bing is rewriting search engine history. Touted by Microsoft as the first ever “decision engine” it’s picking up steam like Yahoo in its heyday and is in place to give Google a serious run for its money. Speaking of “serious”; it’s important to mention that MSN and now Bing are the search [...]

Both Google and Bing have announced agreements with Twitter this week to ensure Twitter updates are included in their search results. Bing has already launched a Twitter Search tool (it’s still quite buggy at the moment) and judging by their blog post about the subject, it seems Google aren’t far behind. This is a significant [...]

Although denying it has anything to do with the recent launch of Bing, Google’s Matt Cutts unveiled their “secret project”, one of the biggest behind-the-scenes updates to Google search in three years and is now testing the next-generation architecture of web search, called Caffeine. In fairness to Matt Cutts, he said changes to Google search [...]

I got into search engine optimization when Yahoo was king and Google was a gleam in Larry Page’s eye so I’ve had a front row seat to all the big doings. And one thing I can tell you for certain is Microsoft just took off its kid gloves with the release of Bing and is [...]

It didn’t look too promising at the launch but Bing has been constantly in the news ever since. Some say the results are better than Google, even going as far as suggesting Google is all but finished. I don’t agree. On one of the search engine forums I often comment on, one of the moderators [...]

In recent weeks, we’ve noticed a surge in clients calling us to ask questions like “what’s up with Bing?” Or, “are you optimizing for Bing?” Even “are you taking advantage of Bing?” In other words, people want to know that their search engine optimization company is taking special steps to ensure adequate representation on the [...]

In the future, my dad will be a blogger. He’ll create wikis. He’ll have his work translated into languages spoken across Europe, Asia, and South America.
