Bing SERPS

1. 65

   eugbugposted 3 years ago

   Bing do a nice job of displaying our articles in SERPS, adding the author and a thumbnail. This isn't a Bing featured snippet, but it's in second place and Hubpages or Bing are doing something right for the info to be extracted.

      What's funny is I checked on one of my top articles and Bing has a snippet from someone who copied my article and has my article at second place. Funny stuff.

         Although I do see they have the info on my article that you show and it stands out - reading time, author, etc. That is cool. Maybe the copier cited my article but I don't want to click his link to check.

            Does the URL show up in your taskbar when you hover over it?

               No. In Google my article shows up as the snippet, at the top.

                  I've got a lot of articles on Bing that are the snippet though. That was the only that showed a copier at the top snippet.

   I didn't notice that for any of my articles, but I do notice other features. My top article is showing in the top two spots on Bing. They pulled the table from the article for the first spot (snippet?), and my article is the next link after the "people also ask" box. I don't particularily like how they pulled the table, because they didn't pull the whole thing so it's hard to read with the heading missing, but hopefully it will bring in more clicks.
   
   I've been using Bing more frequently and I really like this new look. The arrow that appears next to a select few titles I think is really useful too (Not sure what determines it as most articles do not have it). I can jump straight to the information within the article that I want. I also noticed my article is recommended in the explore more option on other similar articles that also have the arrow feature.

      A pity Bing traffic doesn't make up a greater proportion of traffic (for me anyway).

         For me, Google.com gets 40 times as much as Bing! That's a huge discrepancy.
         
         I like the new layout. But I'm still not convinced by the search results.
