Bing Now Powers Yahoo Search

[Nomar]

In our last update we shared that we had begun testing Bing results in Yahoo! search as we move forward with our transition.

Today I am happy to share that Bing is powering Yahoo!’s search results in the US and Canada (English only for now, the other languages will come in the weeks and months ahead).

So what’s next? We continue to work hard on the migration to adCenter, and are optimistic about completing this phase later this fall. As we have said all along, our primary goal is to provide advertisers with a quality transition experience in 2010, while being mindful of the holiday season.

This is a great milestone for Bing and Yahoo! and our customers, and we are happy to report the transition has gone smoothly and we feel great about the progress our search alliance has been making over the summer.

What do you think about this? Should we focus more on ranking in Bing / Yahoo now?

I won't focus more on Bing / Yahoo. The majority of traffic still comes from Google. Better get top rankings there first, before you look further

I agree.

All the other search engines can't compare with the traffic that I get from Google.

Its bin like that for years now, and more years to follow

Maybe, maybe not... You should think other companies know what Google is doing now after so many years on top. Bing should buyout some top marketers from Google to get Bing going

I still think that Bing won't be able to get any ware near Google but they try and become quite popular.
