To bing, or not to bing? That is the question of the day.

I’d just saw one of Microsoft’s commercial for bing.com, and it’s as confusing as the search results on bing.com. If you want to be overwhelmed with information, I highly recommend that you start making bing.com your default homepage on your browser.

I did a search for one of my favorite keywords “diet pills”, and bing.com displayed an array of information. The search results are brief, and right to the point. And if you scroll on the right hand side of each listing, you can see the long description, and other webpages from your website that bing.com thinks will benefit the users.

From an SEO perspective, I think it’s awesome because bing.com is dispaying up to 5 additional links to your website. This feature could bring extra traffic to webpages that would normally get any traffic from the search engines.

I’m not sure what criteria bing.com is using to decide which webpages should appeared in the more information box. When I find out, I’ll be sure to let you know.

In the meantime, check out bing.com and see where your website is ranked.
