Bing has got a stickiness to it that I can’t explain. The results are good as well, with a little less flotsam bubbling to the top of the fold than Google.
At almost 30% market share, SEO’s can’t brush off Bing as unimportant anymore. More people are referencing it.

In search engine referrals for SEO clients, I’ve been amused watching Bing kick past Yahoo in the last months of Summer 2009. So, I’m definitely getting amped about coordinating SEO tactics with Bing’s search engine. Finally, some decent competition out there to keep us SEO-pers on our toes!
