Has Anyone Noticed That “BING” Keeps on Showing “DUPLICATE” Results Instead of Different Results on Subsequent Pages… Esp. with Less Common Keywords??
Is it Microsoft Strategy to “BLOAT” the Number of Search Results …. Because They Feel that Very Few People Go Beyond 2-3 Pages or Remember the Result URLs !!

Such Cheap Tricks Harm in Long Term..

If Bing wants to Compete Google … It must act Professionally.. NO TRICKS with Its Users !

Admin: I am like most users I don’t go beyond the first page. So I have not seen this.

I do not think that any of the search engines either new or old is going to beat Google for a long time..
Bing is Microsoft’s new experiment.. Lets see how it comes out! :)

I was wondering the same thing as to whether or not what people are searching for in Bing will make a difference to me, but it is good to hear, as it was mentioned above, that other people are seeing a small percentage of their traffic increase from Bing.

A client's site, focused on tutoring, has definitely seen a jump of 2-3 places for various terms in Bing's local results as compared to the older search from MSN. It's also seen a gain of 1-2 ranks in organic search for one of their biggest keywords. They're still ranking better in Yahoo! and Google, though. As you said, Bing traffic is significantly less than the traffic from Google, and Yahoo!; we're talking less than 100 hits compared to hundreds. From the traffic they are getting, we've seen an increase in their traffic from Bing of about 5% due to these changes, which is actually pretty surprising given that finals are now over at most schools. It's hard to compare accurately with such small traffic numbers though. All in all, it's interesting to see. For the most part we're still optimizing for Google more heavily than anything else.
