The announcement in recent months that Yahoo will be merging
with Microsoft’s newly launched Bing search engine is big news in the SEO world
as it throws up a lot of questions about the market share of search engines.
Google’s huge market share means that any real competition against Google will
be looked upon as a good idea, but for SEO companies it may bring some other
bigger opportunities for their clients. Until the long awaited merger has fully
been implemented then it is mainly speculation at the moment but one thing is
for sure that SEO companies will have to think more about the new Bing search
engine. The full implementation of this new Bing search engine is predicted to
take Yahoo up to 24 months behind the regulatory approval, which itself could
take months, so there is a long time to find out how it will work out.
Bing currently has a 15% market share of the search engine
market, which means that it is well worth optimising for. Since the recent launch
of the Bing search engine from the original Microsoft MSN, there has been some
noticeable preferences, such as concentration on keyword use in subdomains and
root domain names. From the point of view of Google they love exact keyword
matches, but Bing prefers keyword placement in the sub or root. These Bing algorithms
are sure to change once the search engine has been implemented in a few years
time, but for now this can act as a basic guide between Google and their new
rivals.
Bing Will Get Lots more Data
The estimated increase in the amount search traffic on the
website and the merger of Yahoo and the large amount of information they have
built up means that Bing will have much more data. They probably won’t have as
much as Google but Yahoo’s database of profiles, their own research and
behavioural targeting means that they will have much more information to play
with. This should help improve the search engine and may pave the way for
greater advances on the personalization front.
Bing's Webmaster Tools
Signing up to Bing's Webmaster Tools may be a good idea as
it may uncover a few aspects of your website that could be improved through a
number of SEO techniques. Bing’s Webmaster Tools will be important for
conducting better organic SEO campaigns on the Bing search engine and seeing
how Google & Bing may rank your website differently. Bing's Webmaster Tools
is currently quite as robust as Google’s but they are working hard to catch up
and hopefully go on to surpass their rivals and will prove valuable for
webmasters on all platforms.
SEO Junkies are constantly improving search engine results for
both Google and Bing but they are also constantly monitoring the Bing/Yahoo
merger to see how our clients can benefit in terms of SEO. For more information
