Bing

Is anyone starting to see Bing referrals in their stats more and more?

Since it's been released I've had a good solid increase pretty much on a day to day basis. Quite surprised by this, but I'm quite glad to start seeing it.

At first I was quite sceptical about it all, thinking it will just be another failed effort, but the serach results seem pretty good and people do seem to be using it more and more.

Microsoft's latest search offering, essentially the new name for MS Live search:

MS seem to be fairly aggressively marketing it at the moment, but it will take a lot to beat Google

I just saw the stats and I can see the referral from Bing. Thank you guys.

I can't say I'm seeing any noticeable increase - maybe that will change though, I'll keep an eye on it.

I can't say on the user side I'm a huge fan of Bing, I wish other search engines would use a clean front page design like google.

Microsoft Bing , was formerly Windows Live Search. It has a better algorithm,great presentability and good graphics..

The other day I decided to give it a try and really, it didn't impress me. Guess I've been using Google for so long that I'm just used to their results page and layout.

I think I'm quite satisfied with the way Bing works. It doesn't take a genius to say that its way more developed when compared to their old Live Search. Also adding your site to Bing is almost immediate. I did the addition process with bing and my site got listed the next day. Their frontpage ain't that bad either, as it loads just as fast as Googles.

I've been using Bing a lot lately, and getting quite fond of it.

I have checked my stats and I cant find any traffic yet from Bing. I do still see traffic from live.com however so I guess they are both still active.

Live.com and Bing.com are the same. Go to the url
http://live.com
and you'll see what I mean.
