Thanks for the quick links!
Here's some extra words to add to the word total (sorry.)
Bing made an update to theirs that made it way better than the other 2. Its way easier.
I've heard of bing's version and tried it (and didn't like it), but never knew yahoo's version, which I found way better than bing's. But googles' still the best tool.
Thanks for youre information, i am so need it for my blog.
maybe you can visit to my blog :)
Thanks for sharing, I am gonna get the help of those Yahoo and Bing directory services for my blog promotion.
Is the internet safe from those who may try to spy on business activity. I notice buzz words pick up
other competitors and alert my own computer. Also, I am curious if ads will continue to put down
Sharron Angle and uplift Harry reid without being a paid political ad. It seems fair to give them both
space if it is going to be free and is not an agenda.
oh yeah~~~google webmaster tool is the hottest, but don't neglect the other two small bothers, they can become hot too...
I've heard of bing's version and tried it (and didn't like it), but never knew yahoo's version, which I found way better than bing's. But googles' still the best tool.
Bing released updated Bing Webmaster Tools on July 21, 2010. Added some features but still way behind the robust GWT.
Vlad,
I've been using these two along with Google Webmaster and Analytics for a few years now. I find that Yahoo and Bing (MSN) are very limited, but do provide a different perspective on the info gathered and how they view your sites. I'm not the best web data guy, but I have a basic understanding of what I see. Because of this, I like Google's info best, though sometimes it's a bit too much data.
Good to remind people that there are two other search engines out there that drive traffic to your sites. ;-)
Yep that 30% still come to several billion searches a month.
