*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic, sockpuppet, or link to irrelevant and non-Squidoo sites (includes signatures).
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

It is nice to see Bing doing so well in the traffic pie!
I've been noticing that Bing has moved up in ranking in that traffic pie chart -- For the most part, it is ranking as the third highest traffic referrer of the mix -- I've not yet found where it is the highest traffic referrer on one of my lenses.

Re: It is nice to see Bing doing so well in the traffic pie!
This reflects the overall usage statistics of Bing being the third most popular search engine, although it only has ~8% of the market. It will probably continue to increase, but at the expense of Yahoo. Google's popularity has remained untouched by Bing's launch. I will however say that my search engine of choice has now become Bing, but not due to improved search results.

I wasn't sure what Bing was but it certainly is my new best friend.

Re: It is nice to see Bing doing so well in the traffic pie!
Would you believe, I actually asked my hubby about his impression of Bing this past weekend. He says he likes it -- hey, he doesn't just commit to a like without due cause. He shared with me that he was searching on Google for a chemical company -- the manufacturer of a certain chemical. His search results were NOT what he wanted -- he couldn't bring up the actual manufacturer in the top results. He said Bing seemed to be better in that regard. I was searching on Bing for our project lens, but couldn't find that lens at all. But I did find a blog post on the lens. I wonder why Bing wouldn't index the lens?

Bing has one of my older lenses nicely embraced in the number one spot -- and it is the only hits on that lens from a search engine. For whatever reason, I cannot get Google to pick up that lens again. You can guess which one I'm loving...

Wow, Brenda that is extraordinary to hear -- The fact that Bing loves that lens so much is pretty cool and would help to maybe shed some light on getting Bing Love! I think I understand Google Love, and am working on Yahoo Love, but now Bing Love!

I have a lens formerly loved very much by Google but alas, it lost the Google love. Now Bing is showing interest. One can only hope!

Re: It is nice to see Bing doing so well in the traffic pie!
So, how do we get Bing to love our lenses?
