Can Bing or Blekko Beat Google?

I really do not see anyone coming close to Google.
They are the best, they know what it takes to be the best and will continue to improve upon their products even when they're already considered to be the best, which all in all will make them the best for pretty much all eternity.
 


Take a look around and you see that Google brings traffic to Bing... I highly doubt anything will replace Google. You have to take Gmail, Google Shopping, and the Google News section into consideration when comparing to Bing. Google maps and Google Earth have shut out Map Quest for sometime and aren't even in comparison by a small margin. Honestly the only threat to Google is Facebook, but I don't see the social media site trying to implement a search engine or at least we hope that it doesn't.
 
Recently Bing has rolled out some features like Bing Webmaster and Bing API, surely they have plan to earn income from the ads and they are intending to compete with Google in the future about this. But nevertheless, for now Google is still the best.

Well google is obvious and user friendly, hence it has more attraction to the masses.

Even with better webmaster tools even Bing will not be able to capture the general audience as people build, invest and steer every piece they do for their site towards google and bing insists to have a significantly different algo. I mean why change whats working? Why not improve upon what most people already love?
 
I get some solid results when searching with Bing but it just is not out there on peoples mind as to why should they change.

They need to make a leap in the mind's of people.

What is in it to you? Just use what is best works for you. I use to use AOL search to see raw Google results, now I use Google69.com for the same reason.
 
I agree
Google is spying you 24 x 7 whether you use their search engine or android

In search engine by savign cookies and showign u relalted ads and android by tracking ur gps location

This is complete breach of privacy. I mean come on why would i want anybody to keep track of whatever searches I make on google
 
I think with G changing the serps so much these days we're actually in a better position to see a new dog on top.

A lot of google users look for confirmation bias when they search... they expect to see wikipedia, ehow, jcpenney, amazon, shit like that. When they don't they're a little leery of the results set.

Now with all of the serp changes I think G is trying to show us less of those results, and in turn, they might help wean users off of their particular flavor of the web.
 
I really believe if Facebook were to get serious with search and using their massive amounts of collected information about their users, they could start to take lots of the market share from google.

And here's why I think that:

1) They have a huge brand recognition, and I'd bet almost everyone that visits Google, also visits facebook. It's probably not a 1 to 1 ratio, but it's probably pretty close. It all comes down to reach. I think Google continues to dominate because the mediums on which you'd search for information, all are closely tied to Google, and changing those mediums to use a different browser is complicated, and lets face it, people are lazy. Facebook Apps on Mobile phones and on browsers are accessed by users all the time.

2) Data collected about the user, is something Google is now trying to get into, but is still way behind that which Facebook has. This data can build a unique search experience that Google can only dream about.

But I'm not sure if Facebook is willing to take this risk. It's a huge risk, and goes into a market that they aren't so familiar with and wasn't their original purpose. But I think they need to. Google has their own social networking site, and although it sucks right now, they are finding ways to improve its usefulness all the time. I could really see a shift in the next year or two where Facebook gets destroyed by Google in their market. I think the only way Facebook can survive is fighting back against Google.

Besides that, I don't see anyone else being able to steal significant market share from Google. Bing will stay where it's at. Windows 8 and Windows phones will help create new mediums for users to utilize Bing, but guess what? Google is also in the phone/tablet market, and already has a larger market share in that mobile operating system space to begin with. And I really truly believe, the traditional desktop will slowly drift away from being used by the traditional family and Tablets/Pads/Smart Phones will take their place, and Android will be one of the prominent technologies in this space.
 
Google's popularity is just in the name, "Google" sounds cute and harmless so people use it.

i remember the days when i use to use AskJeeves...lol

never liked Yahoo pages.
 
To the point when the algorithm is too complicated and something very simple comes and takes over (hopefully we are getting there).

The two Stanford guys that founded Google did so on the basis of building a better mousetrap. They worked extensively on developing the best mathematical search algorithms that had ever been devised. Since then, they continue to enhance the mathematical depth of Google algorithms. So far, no one (especially Bing) has even come remotely close to the sophistication of Google's algorithms. So long as that remains true Google will, and should, dominate the Internet.

I bet two things may help to beat Google+.
1. If someone offers open sourse version of SE. Sounds crazy right?
2. If Google will become too much greedy.

No chance before.
 
bing and yahoo total waste of time, not only do they generate next to no traffic for the same keyowrds the traffic also doesnt convert. I hold several extremly high ranking keywords in number 2 and 3 position on bing and yahoo which would earn $100s a day on google but probably get about $10 a week on both yahoo and bing.

i hope something new comes along soon as it will even the market up a bit and stop google doing whatever the hell they like to all the small businesses out there.
