What Is The Buzz About Bing.com?

E-Commerce and Bing

Bing is the New Search Engine.

Bing just overtook Yahoo as the Second Largest Search Engine in one week.  What is “driving” this Search Engine?  As the web expands in 2009 there have been 4 ½ websites created EVERY SECOND.

People are seeking knowledge that leads to action, not just information – Bing is “a decision engine”.  The wheels that are moving the new search engine are people who want quick results to:

• Make a Shopping Decision – Bing Shopping
• Plan a Trip – Bing Travel
• Research a Health Condition
• Research Local Businesses

But what else sets Bing apart from Google and Yahoo?  Is it really up to the Buzz that everyone is talking about?

Bing is a search engine that is focused on niche areas.  Instead of just ranking information, the new search is geared toward making smart decisions about information – Bing says, “You’ll Bing and decide” (an action verb like when you “google” and look something up) – but the difference is in the decision.

This is where shopping and E-commerce comes into what drives the engine – people buying and selling products in a community.  The feature like CASHBACK is where Bing gives money back on products to the customer, and gives them to some of the best deals on the web. 

Price Predictor, for example, tells you when to buy an airline ticket to help you get the best price and put money in your pocket.

What is behind the Bing search engine is Microsoft’s $100 million advertising budget with E-commerce industry and products behind the scenes being moved and exchanged.  That’s a serious business decision for Microsoft to determine to move up the search engine ranks, since they have not been number one yet.  Their business model may be what will make it number one – it is moving up the ranks now.

But different than Yahoo or Google, it could be that the difference would be, YOU and I, the search engine users, saving money and time, and making decisions quicker and smarter.

Online sales are increasing and expected to grow even more, even though most US economic indicators have been down.  If you are an Internet Marketer and want to make money advertising your business online with Bing (compared with Google) you can avoid pay per click (PPC) expenses.  Here is where you can Advertise with Bing.
