Just read this on Elliots Blog. Bing apparently favors generic domain names even more than Google. So, for instance if you are searching for ‘casino’ , on Bing, casino.com will show up as number one, but on Google, casino.com only shows up as number five.

I definitely think Bing will be around for a while, mostly because of Microsoft forcing it down users throats via Internet Explorer and via Live.com and MSN , so this gives holders of generic domain names even more reason to develop them.

I don’t hold any, but I wonder if Bing gives more wait to a site’s URL in general, or if they only give more wait to a category-defining domain name.

That may be the subject of another post…

I do know that my travel site already gets as much traffic from Bing as it does from Yahoo, but that may be because Bing is heavily advertising their travel functionality as well as redirecting all traffic coming from Farecast to their search box.
