As I was surfing around the web yesterday, I stumbled across a banner ad that lead me to the Bing It On page. I tell you what, as a splash page, Bing has done all the right things to keep people there. I was interested…and not just because I could win something, but because I am an internet marketer. Search engine results matter to me. (I know, I’m a geek!)
Bing It On
For those of you who haven’t seen the Bing commercials, the setting is a typical street survey theme where a host stops random people and asks them to do a search online. Two results are displayed and they’re asked to choose which shows them the results they like best. And of course, every single one of those that Bing shows on their commercials chose Bing as their search engine of choice.
So I thought, of course everyone they spotlight on their own commercial is going to choose the Bing search results. Why would they show anyone who was choosing Google? So when I stumbled onto the actual Bing It On page, I was on a mission to prove a point. I wanted to see how accurate Bing’s commercials really are!
Five minutes later, here are my results:
Instead of their average of 2 to 1, I go ahead and do a clean sweep, 5 out of 5.
It would appear, my friends, that Bing is my search engine of choice. Not only do they deliver the search results that interest me the most, they also give my websites higher search engine ranking. How can you beat that?
I feel that with the way Google is headed, making all their algorithm changes, trying to take over and control every aspect of their SERP’s, that Bing will become very, very popular.
So, take the Bing It On challenge and see how your results end up? Heck, a chance to win a $10,000 trip to anywhere in the U.S. isn’t a bad perk for 5 minutes of your time. Let’s see which search engine you choose?
