Microsoft New Search Engine Bing

Microsoft Live Search is now Bing.com has released on 3rd June, 2009.

Bing includes a set of navigation and search tools called an Explorer Pane on the left side of the page that offers a feature called Web Groups, which organizes search results not only in the pane but also in the actual results generated on the page. It is based on the semantic technology from PowerSet which Microsoft purchased in 2008.

Microsoft also has added Related Searches and Quick Tabs features, which provide a table of contents for different categories of search results.

Next feature called Best Match surfaces what the engine considers the best result for a search query and calls it out for the user. Another feature called Deep Links gives people more insight into what resources a site offers.

Bing also offers what is called Quick Preview, which gives a brief preview of search results in a box that appears when someone 'mouses' over the search results link. The preview gives a snapshot of the information the link provides so people can decide whether they want to click on it.

In addition, Bing also provides the following services -

• Bing Health - http://www.bing.com/health

Need of Quality Backlinks and Traffic

Question : I have exchanged my site links with 30 websites but not getting any traffic and also not getting any exposure in search engine rankings too. What should I do?

Answer : It totally depend either they really are quality links or not. The page you have linked with having some traffic or not? and the relevancy factor ofcourse. The links you are linked with are relevant with your online business theme otherwise it's just useless to link with non-relevant sites.

As per google webmaster guidelines also, Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or "bad neighborhoods" on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.
