January’s rankings were also on the same lines. Google came first, Yahoo! came second and Microsoft came third, experiencing a small gain over the previous month. However, in a most unusual turn of events Microsoft gained at the expense of Google for the first time.

According to ComScore (via CNet), Google’s dominant share of the search market slipped by 0.3 percentage points to 65.4 percent of all searches conducted in the U.S. Because of this, Bing increased by 0.6 percentage points to 11.3 percent of all searches. Yahoo! lost another 0.3 percent, dropping to 17 percent of all searches.

Microsoft Bing has experienced almost consistent growth since it launched last May, rising from 8.4 percent in June to its current 11.3 percent. Bill Gates once told the press that the search engine created by microsoft is the best product till date created by Microsoft. Hope that turns out true. People are already fascinated by the interface provided by Bing.

Julian Sambles who is in charge of SEO at the Telegraph- http://yoast.com/newspaper-seo-think-visibility/- spoke at the Media Festival last year about exactly this.

Telegraph reporters have been trained to tweak their stories for the online version of the paper, making the titles of their stories much clearer to achieve better search traffic- he pointed out that reports with catchy/glib/pun-based headlines like the famous Falklands “GOTCHA!!!” were less likely to get found again by people searching for the news story about the sinking of the Belgrano than one titled “Belgrano Warship sunk in the Falklands”

Remember Point 10 too: you need to strike that balance between good SEO practice and interesting, informative writing, both in terms of content and style.
