Why we should embrace Bing

Well my initial reaction when looking for my sites on Bing was disappointment but it's growing on me and here's why:

1. We only have a tiny fraction of our pages listed in Bing but their spiders are speeding up and more pages are being added all the time
2. If you rely soley on SEO for your traffic then another, "popular", search engine will decrease your risk
3. When searching for long tail keywords we rank quite well

Competition is always good and brings opportunity.

It may be that there are different SEO techniques that are required for Bing and this is the fun part of what we do - trying to figure out what the search engines like!

Bing is also good for keyword rich domains so it is alot easier to rank on bing with a good domain name.

Bing will definatly grow in popularity as well, and even it it only grew to 10% of the share of search engine traffic you site will receive, if you are ranked for some good keywords, that 10% could have a significant increase to your bottom line

A change is good!

Monopoly in search engines is bad.

Good Call, I like your comments.

I think we should all make a pact on the forum to only use bing for the next 7 days, so your not allowed on google full stop... who's in? ok better make it 3 days?

I'm sure for most its just a matter of changing a plug-ins settings.
Lets give it a proper go!
