New Search Engine Bing, Now Showing as Search Engine in Google Analytics

in Bing, Google, SEO

Hey All,

I know I’ve been really busy with things, so couldn’t update the blog. Here is the little update that I wanted to post today. New search engine called Bing, from Microsoft had some issues showing up in Google analytics. It was showing as general referral site instead of search engines, so webmasters couldn’t track the keywords through which they were getting traffic. Now, Google has resolved the issue and it is showing as Search Engine with traffic from different keywords.

Here is the screen shot from one of my new client’s Google Analytics, which is showing Bing as Search engine.

i have been evaluating the search results of Microsoft Bing compared to Google and they are comparable. Bing gives almost the same relevant search results just like Google.

Bing search engine gives almost the same search results as Google. Looks like Google will now have a tough competition when it comes to search engine technology.

Bing does give search results much like Google but i would have to say that Google still gives more relevant search results

i am a user of Microsofts BING search engine and it is as good as google for static webpage search. for searching blogs, i think google gives more relevant search results compared bing.

my default search engine is Yahoo but now i am using BING because it is much better than Yahoo. i heard that Bing search engine would power Yahoo search also.
