Now listen to what Microsoft has to say about the whole “Google Vs Bing” issue
2009 July 9
A minute ago i typed the phrase “google is better than bing” on www.bing.com – Microsoft’s answer to Google SE. The results were pretty narcissist as expected. The results advertised Bing to no end. Almost handpicked.

However when I did the same with Google, i mean searched for “Bing is better than Google” the results weren’t that premeditated. So is Google more ethical or honest in their search results?
I tried this myself, then “binged” the following: “google is better than bing” in quotations and only then did I get brought to your site. We conducted the exact same experiment and that is indeed proof that Bing has altered the results. This is why I am not at all interested in using Bing as it seems to skew the results in their favour; I’ll still to Google.
Such things really make me sympathize with the Microsoft-booers
Very interesting experiment. It seems that Google is more ethical and honest than Bing.
thanks
I wonder if more people hear about this if that Bing will change their methodology?
I don’t think they will. Microsoft has a history of turning deaf ears to critics. How else will you explain the famous error “Keyboard not detected. Press any key to continue.” throughout all the versions of Windows 98 ?
Google is better then bing!!!!
