I agree, Google is more important but bing has shown a 20% increase in it's UK market share. It's now only 1/10th of Google but still, if 1 in every 10 people only have you on page one (which is pretty much the case for me) then that can't be bad, can it?

And where exactly does bing get their search results from I wonder?
Funny how come if a site is listed highly in the organic search results on google without having to do diddly it also shows up highly ranked on bing too. Well it does for me anyhow. lol

"I need to find out about that.  I know, I'll BING it."

-Said no-one ever.

HOWEVER before you dismiss poor cousin Bing, something to bear in mind is that there are MANY apps that take their search info from Bing, having failed to come to an agreement with Google who probably demand a billion quid and your first-born child.

Perfect example is Siri (Apple's digital assistant).

Try saying, for example, "Marshmallow Stew" into Siri, and will give you Bing search results.

Bing by the back door.

I know very little about iphones, I'd have thought Apple would have had their own search engine?

Some new windows pc's have Bing as the default search engine.
My latest one did and I never bothered changing it to Google.
Funny thing is though that I never get annoying phone calls promising to get me to the top rank page of the Bing search engine?
Bing is my safe space.

I'm not sure he was that way inclined.
