Bing and Article Marketing

September 30th, 2009 · Posted in internet terminology · 0 Comments

Bing from Microsoft is one of the newest search engines on the Internet, although the company’s promotions establish it as a different search tool.   Rather than being a ‘search engine’, Microsoft calls it a ‘decision engine’.  For example, Bing’s user interface can provide the user with more accurate and pertinent data with less effort, which is something that Google sometimes fails to do.

The question is, with the innovations that the new search engine offers, how do you tailor your article marketing efforts to glean maximum results from the up-and-coming Bing?  First, let us briefly discuss the special aspects of the Bing ‘decision engine.’

The Bing engine does a better job in terms of presenting relevant results and detailed information to Internet users who employ it, in comparison to Google.   On the surface, it may be due to the distinctive user interface that Bing has.  The snippets that Bing provides also allow a user to view more detailed info about a webpage, for example, without leaving the search results page.  Further information is displayed without leaving the Bing results page, simply by moving your cursor over the associated information.  Mousing over a piece of information may even show some meta-data, if it is available.

The new search engine may cause some people to consider revamping their article marketing endeavors, yet the tried-and-tested rules still apply.  An edge over your competitors may be achieved much like before: by writing high-quality content, incorporating the relevant keywords, and disseminating your content through article directories – making sure that you also create an accessible and compelling author bio or resource box.

The aforementioned ‘expanded’ view of information that Bing allows for search results simply means that an Internet user (and potential viewer or client) has easier access to the information contained in the articles you market to the directories.  There may be coming developments to Bing that would necessitate some adjustments to your article marketing strategies.  Ranking highly in the search results for your keywords and niche will still give you better results and better exposure for your website, even with Google’s rival engine.

You do not need to rebuild your article marketing methods from the ground up if you want to attract traffic from Internet users who use the ‘decision engine’.  Bing is one of the best innovations in search engine technology, and simply honing your article marketing strategies while new developments come along will serve you and your website well enough.
