I must be doing pretty well with BING - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

**draggar** · 06-14-2009, 12:41 PM

I checked my traffic reports this week and I noticed most of my sites had significant traffic from Bing.com (MS's new search engine).

One of my sites - 15% came from BING.

I'm not complaining - anyone else seeing a large amount of traffic coming from Bing?

**trader** · 06-14-2009, 12:44 PM

ditto.

In fact some sites have more Bing traffic source than even G.

**ecomindia** · 06-14-2009, 12:54 PM

hi,,,

can you give one of the sites... maybe i learn something from there..

**copper** · 06-14-2009, 01:07 PM

Bing suck big time for me.
Well, even when it was live.com

pcproffenno · 06-14-2009, 01:21 PM

A little OT:

Bing com $25,375 Feb 07 Sedo

Way overpriced back in 2007 IMHO.

After this sale the domain has changed hands several times but no sales are recorded. According to DT's whois records, a lucky (?) Australian was the last owner before it was transferred to Microsoft on 2009-03-04.

I wonder how much he sold it to MS for.

**ecomindia** · 06-14-2009, 01:36 PM

i think the 3rd last owner are the richest people when big co.'s buy domains.. ;-)

Any secrets of your success?

**Doc Com** · 06-14-2009, 01:41 PM

Bing (MSN) is making up #8, #9, #10 of All Traffic Sources on one site

8 MSN/organic
9 bing.com/referral
10 bing.com/organic

For the past month, it is 5th overall in traffic and 78.26% of those are first time visitors.

As for search engines:

Yahoo
Google
msn
bing
aol
search
live
alltheweb
ask

The biggest improvement site is one I run for someone else (realname.com). Despite he claims he knows nothing about "the web" and computers he's a great writer and is a natural when it comes to SEO.

But - the other sites I really haven't done anything different with them. I'm wondering if this is a one time boost due to the "newness" of Bing or will it be consistent? We'll see.

Shows how behind I am. I didn't hear of bing.com until this thread.

Very big TV ad campaign in both prime time and late night.

**trader** · 06-14-2009, 07:38 PM

I think one month is too long a time frame since for me and my diverse portfolio the Bing traffic surge only started recently (I believe just in the past week, last few days in particular) where with some of my sites it actually ranks #1 and ahead of both G and Y.

I think you are correct in your assessment and I will look at one and two week periods.

**sashas** · 06-15-2009, 02:53 AM

One of my sites is on the first page of google for a search term with over 1 million monthly searches and over 6 million competing results. I get 90% of my traffic from Google, but of late, a steady 4-6% have started coming from Bing.

Bing won't beat Google, but it'll definitely eat into its share (and maybe Yahoos)

**jasdon11** · 06-15-2009, 04:03 AM

I have a site that's #1 in Google, Yahoo and Bing - traffic from these three this month;

Google - 44%
Yahoo - 27%
Bing - 3%

**fatter** · 06-15-2009, 08:19 AM

I wonder if they will offer a domain parking solution similar to AFD but simpler to use, would increase there traffic for sure assuming payout was good

**cadillac880** · 06-15-2009, 09:00 AM

**ecomindia** · 06-15-2009, 12:04 PM

as long as google does not bring it's own branded OS, they will loose a small chunk of the share of traffic.

**GAMEFINEST** · 06-15-2009, 03:37 PM

I am getting good amount of traffic from bing after being heavily listed on google for alot of adult search keywords ..heh

**Keyboard Cowboy** · 06-17-2009, 03:44 AM

I am getting traffic from Bing as well, and have been since the get-go, but actually what's interesting is not the fact that it delivers, but the productivity of the users.

On my commerce sites, productivity from Bing users is a lot higher than it is from Google. I think it has something to do with Bing users being less internet savvy than those from big G.
