July 22 2010 Office Hours by Vanessa Fox

Yahoo says 25% of their results are now powered by Bing, so Vanessa digs into some questions she has. She talks about how time sensitive, spam and movie queries are handled in Bing as opposed to Yahoo, and then of course, comparing those to Google. Yahoo has said they plan on controlling the UI of the search results and just pulling in Bing’s results. Vanessa walks us through some tests to analyze just how well Yahoo is doing.

Vanessa touches on consolidating link value with a canonicalization tag, Sitemaps, and  the new Bing Webmaster Tools.
