Bing™ is the new, user-friendly decision engine that offers consumers a better organized search experience with easy access to relevant content. Advertisers can connect with this valuable audience by serving relevant ads to target consumers while they are in purchase decision mode.
Key Benefits
- Delivers the best results: this search engine gives consumers comprehensive results organized all on one page. Relevant content is integrated alongside with images, video, maps and related links that help consumers uncover information they may have otherwise missed.
- Helps consumer make purchase decisions better: this search engine gives consumers all the shopping information they need to make an educated purchase. Your audience can search for your products, read professional and user reviews, and easily compare prices—all with just one search.
A further example of new technology impacting SEO is Bing.com – Microsoft’s search engine launched on 3 June 2009 to replace its poorly performing Live.com. Like Wolfram, Bing aims to deliver answers rather than web pages, but it does so with traditional web site listings. The way Bing works is to group results under a number of headings, and show the three most relevant results for each heading. For example, a search for “Palm Springs” has three results each for weather, maps, restaurants, and real estate. This is a killer blow for the sites that previously had search ranking positions 6 to 10 on the first page of Live.com, but benefits sites optimized for targeted traffic.
The Future is Clear
Changes in the way we search and the way search results are presented will of course influence SEO. But rather than reacting to changes it is worth keeping in touch with technology trends, and taking a view on the direction things are going in. As the three examples in this article illustrate, technology is moving to provide more accurate answers of higher quality, and as it advances SEO will increasingly focus on creating that quality content, rather than trying to meet algorithmic criteria.

Bing Shopping
Reach Audiences Across the Purchase Funnel
Shoppers go online to compare products, to compare opinions with other consumers, and to compare prices. Bing Shopping simplifies search by combining these things to help shoppers save money and make purchase decisions more quickly.
Our Audience Is Ready to Shop
Live Search reached an audience of 43.9 unique users per month1 and we anticipate Bing will reach even more users. This is an audience comfortable with shopping online and using the internet as a resource. A study conducted in late 2008 concluded that:
o 95 percent have shopped online in the last six months.2
o 84 percent have purchased online in the last six months.2
o 81 percent have used online reviews before making a purchase online.2
