If you haven’t already heard the whispered rumors and news bits about Bing taking over Yahoo Search, here’s a brief summary.
Since Bing has completely taken over MSN’s search engine by engaging visitors with a myriad of search decisions, and Yahoo has been looking for a search engine to buy since 2004 this may be the answer for both parties. However, with Bing’s new vertical search ability, SEO firms and Webmasters may have to completely rethink and revamp Websites to gain top search rankings on Bing.
SEO firms should evaluate how their Websites fare in Bing now versus MSN and Yahoo although a deal may be months away it’s still a good idea to research and plan a strategy.
According to WebmasterWorld, “You may want to research what factors influence Bing ranking and think about how that can safely be integrated into future optimization efforts if a deal with Yahoo is announced.”
