Double Cashback days: Get your moneys worth from Bing

Tue 11 August 2009 09:01, Bas van den Beld

Bing is going all the way trying to get more market share away from Google. Not just by doing viral marketing, but also by literally buying their users.

The former Live Search Cashback program has been running on Bing as usual, but yesterday Bing decided to give that a lift by introducing "Double saving days". When buying through Bing you can now get up to twice as much money back.

The doubled Bing offers will be appearing on the Bing results until the end of the month. On search result pages and on shopping pages you will see the Bing Cashback logo trying to convince you to shop through Bing.

Though no shop actually offers you 50% off there are some good deals you can make. Bing has placed all the offers on a special page.

The promotional offers run until the end of August, which is the "back-to-school days"-period. Microsoft does say it "reserves the right to end the program early".

Jon, a Search Engine Optimisation Programmer at SEO Consult, gives his thoughts on Bing's latest moves to attract users and possible implications in search marketing... There are some obvious reasons why people focus solely on Google when setting up their SEO campaign. Apart from them being a household name and occupying a massive market share, it’s also the important fact that optimising for Google very often (but by no means always) results in similar rankings in the two other major ...... read more
