Bing SERPs just as bad as Google’s

Posted by James under SEO

Recently Google has been getting a lot of flack for the quality of the SERPs in the UK.

This included a post by Dave Naylor regarding the results that were shown for “Tennis Court Hire”.

At the time of Dave’s post the top 6 posts were showing Australian sites, however at the moment these sites have dropped but they are still on the first page.

This made me wonder how much better Bing and Yahoo was, and in Bing’s case it is quite disappointing.

So 5 out of the top 10 results are currently Australian sites, with the top 2 being Australian, making the Bing results just as bad if not worse than Google’s

Finishing on a more promising note I tried out Yahoo with the following results:

At least Yahoo managed to show some more appropriate results with all of them being UK based.

    hey James,
    It’s funny that Yahoo was the best at this, and they are about to disappear… Personally I still find Google to be by far the best, Bing is ok, and Yahoo is almost useless… but I do my searching in the US so it may be different…
    Interesting results for “tennis court hire” in any event.
