The Yahoo Bing Transition Has Begun

Everyone knew the Bing/Yahoo union was coming and it has now
begun in limited "test-runs" with Yahoo displaying some Bing
results. But will this new combined search engine give Google
some much needed competition?

I don't think so... but I have been wrong before.

Regardless, if the numbers increase, you will have to adjust
your site or sites to take advantage of this new Bing/Yahoo
creature. Optimizing your content for Bing should be high on
your list.

In my latest blog post below I talk about this upcoming marriage
and supply some useful tips/links which could help you cope with
these new changes.

My Top Internet Marketing Tactics For 2009



Another year of marketing online has passed into history and
I can't help reflecting back on the last year and review my
most important marketing tactics. I am doing a few things which
are new, but for the most part I am doing all the same things
which I have been doing for the last 10 years.

Perhaps the biggest change has to do with the social media and
bookmarking sites... who knew something as simple and as silly as
Twitter would become so popular. What's up with that?

And Google has gone totally bonkers... introducing so many new
programs and products in the last few months, it makes your head
spin. Plus, they're doing a major overhaul of its search engine with
Google Caffeine which should be hitting right about now. Bing/Yahoo
is making it jump thru imagery hoops which they really doesn't have
to worry about, Google will probably only get stronger in the
coming months.

Bing has an outside change of becoming a verb but don't hold
your breath. Unless it becomes embraced by the surfing public
which is still a very unpredictable variable in the whole dynamic
of marketing online.

Anyway, if you want to view my top Internet Marketing Tactics which
I used in 2009 - you can find them explained in great detail in
the link below:

Are Search Engines Becoming Irrelevant?

BWMagic's Internet Marketing News!



Are Search Engines Becoming Irrelevant?


In a week when Google has just launched "Real-Time Search" which it will incorporate into its search results, such a suggestion that search engines are becoming obsolete and irrelevant can be seen as downright laughable. Google is also about to launch Google Caffeine, its next generation search engine. And if that wasn't enough, Google is also introducing Google Goggles for mobile search which is turning quite a few heads and rightly so. And Bing is continuing its blazing media blitz that only a company like Microsoft could afford. Search engines are important than ever - aren't they?

Search engines are here to stay - right? They will play a leading role in the future web - right? Nothing can unseat or undermine the importance of these mighty search engines - right?

Whoa - Not so fast partner!

While search engines will always play a major role on the web but no matter how many new ways and programs they implement, nothing can disguise the fact that search engines are and have always been the "middlemen" of the web. Obviously, being in the middle, they come between you and the stuff you're searching for on the wonderful world wide web.

Will there ever come a time when the fastest way to find what you're looking for on the web be the direct route - cutting out or severely lessening the role of the mighty search engines? Will human nature dictate or lead us to take the direct and fastest route to the majority of the information on the web? Never underestimate human nature - it can take on the mightiest of opponents!

More importantly, will the evolution of the web and the web surfer, mean they become more and more web savvy so that they en masse cut out the middleman or middle route? Will more and more of these web savvy surfers change how the web actually works? In the process, will search engines take more of a supporting role in the "New Web"...

If you're interested in this whole foolish notion, you can read my "Soap Box" article here:
