Microsoft's Bing Still Creeping up the Search Rankings


 

Microsoft continues to gain share in the search market, growing slightly faster in December than any of its competitors, according to a report by comScore.
Its share of searches in the U.S. reached 10.7 percent last month, up 0.4 percentage points from November, comScore said.
Google is still attracting the majority of searches, with a 65.7 percent market share in December, up 0.1 percentage points from November, comScore said.
Microsoft's growth came at the expense of its partner Yahoo, as well as Ask and Aol. Yahoo's share slipped slightly from 17.5 percent in November to 17.3 percent in December. Aol also lost share, slipping from 2.8 percent in November to 2.6 percent in December.
Since it launched Bing in June, Microsoft has steadily if slowly been gaining ground. The company has added new features over that time, perhaps contributing to the growth.
In mid-November, Bing results began relying on computational information from Wolfram Alpha, allowing people to type complicated math equations or ask Bing to display a graph plotting an equation. The update also allows people to type in the name of a food item and receive nutritional information.

IP Delivery Concept

By
It is the practice of using the IP, the network address of the connecting computer, whether robot or human, and sending different content based on that. The database used to assist with the process. In the case of geo-targeting: Databases stores various ranges of IP addresses, and indicates where this ranges of IPs are in the world. A geo-targeting script scans the list to see in which country the current IP is located. Programmer can use this value to effect changes in presentation or logic. In the case of cloaking : Databases stores the IP addresses of the various spiders that may hit your site. The cloaking script scans the list to see if the current IP is a spider. The programmer can use this information to effect changes in presentation or logic. Implementations of IP-delivery-based cloaking also look at the User-Agent header of the request. The user agent header is a header sent by both browsers and spiders. But it is not regarded authoritative, bec...
