Bing: Movin’ on Up!
Check this out. While taking a look at the traffic to/from my site, I decided to check the percentage of that traffic arriving from search engines. Of that traffic, I was pleasantly surprised to see just how good Bing appears to be doing! Check out the following graph:
While those results are unusual for today (the percentage is typically in Google’s favor by a wide margin, which it is here, but only when you tally all of Google’s sites together), what I have noticed over time is a small but steady increase of Bing traffic to my site. Much more than I *ever* saw out of MSN, that’s for sure. I know I’m simply mirroring what a lot of us have already said, but Microsoft seems to have done things right this time around with Bing. It makes me smile in my heart just a little bit.

The Future of Advertising on MSN
(Follow me on Twitter: msftkitchen)
Here is a glimpse at what Microsoft appears to have in mind for advertising on MSN in the future. The technology behind it is undoubtedly Silverlight, and by the looks of this video, I’d say clicking on and watching ad content just might end up being enjoyable! lol. Or annoying, depending on to what extent the ads autoplay to page loads and accidental hover-overs/clicks. Check out the video and see what you think. It weighs in at just over 10 minutes but the visuals are nice and they’re accompanied by some good music most of the time:
