I am 100 pages into this great new book I picked up, and I do not want to put down. I read a lot of eBooks and guides each year. The single greatest investment you can make these days is the investment in yourself by learning new things about your business. I try to read 2 new books a month, and when I find a really informative book I try to shout it out to everyone I know. This is one of those times, because this book is amazing.

Yahoo recently announced that their organic search results will soon be powered by Bing in the early fall. Both companies have already begun testing this new merger on some of their result pages. According to the latest comScore data, Yahoo and Bing have a combined search market share of 31.6% in June 2010.
Combined, both companies websites have received 5.4 billion search queries last month.
Read that again, 5.4 billion search queries.
Now, most everyone knows that Google is the powerhouse when it comes to traffic. With the vast amount of products and services they offer their user base, and the fact that most of it is free and really great to use, it is not too difficult to understand why. For that reason it is understood why most Internet Marketers spend ALL THEIR TIME working on their rankings in Google, and don’t even bother with checking their results on the other two. In a time crunch, I do that myself.
Stop it right now.
Is Yahoo and Bing Worth Optimizing For?
5.4 billion search queries is NOTHING to turn your nose up at. That information combined with the fact that some individuals still use Yahoo for their search results is lost traffic potential for you. Once more, if you spend your time and energy and depend on the current rankings of Yahoo and not Bing, come September, you are in for a rude awakening.
So, my suggestion is this. Make sure you go right now and look at your main keyword rankings in Bing. Take two or three specific pages on your website and start making small incremental changes and see how the results play out on Bing. Take good notes, make sure you follow the rules on only optimizing one keyword per page, optimize images, etc. and pay attention to those changes. Read up on the Webmaster Resources eBook that Microsoft released on Bing specifically. The download can be found here. Remember, these other Search Engines are not useless. Targeted traffic is sales potential.

This is not a real shocker. I have read 4 books since I have gotten the new Apple iPad. None of them had been a traditional paper bound book. With the advent of the new digital products, it is now easier than ever to purchase, read, and comment on books and content from anywhere in the world. I still think removing the paper aspect of the book is taking away the romanticism of reading, but every other point FOR digital books is so sexy in its own right.
