A search engine must find and show good, right content. When Bing does not add or leaves out good sites, but likes to add lots of bad content, it looks bad. Our site, technetbook, is a real case showing why many think Bing is not good enough.
We made sure technetbook is a top site, following all rules and Bing’s own tips. The content is useful, the site works well, and there are no wrongs that would stop it from being added. Yet, Bing will not fully add technetbook. This is not about us not being good enough; it’s about Bing choosing not to see a good and right site, making us ask about how it picks content.
Why Bing Picks Some Sites and Not Others More Details
The case with technetbook, where Bing won’t add a good site, fits into how Bing has always worked:
- A "Picked" List with Bad Focus: Bing has long picked fewer sites. Yet, as with technetbook, it often seems to overlook good content and picks a lot of bad content. This view hurts any claim that its short list is all about quality.
- The CoPilot Issue: In 2023, Bing brought in CoPilot AI, which gives direct answers. If Bing doesn’t add a good source like technetbook, its rich info can’t help with these AI answers, nor can it draw people to visit.
For those making good sites like technetbook, Bing’s clear lack of will to add their right content, when worse or spammy sites are added, is very annoying. It shows a break in how we expect search engines and content makers to work together. Lots of work goes into making good sites, yet Bing can hide them, with no good reason given, while bad sites are added.
Why Do Many See Bing as a “Bad” Search Engine
Seeing good sites like technetbook left out by Bing, with bad content being picked, shows why many think Bing falls short:
- Wrong Adding Focus: Bing’s lack of adding real, good sites like technetbook, while letting bad or low-value content into its results, shows a deep issue in how it judges and adds content.
- No Clear Reasons for Choices: Not knowing why a right site is not added leaves site makers unable to fix any issues Bing might think are there.
- Bad and Unsure Search Results for Users: Bing's picky adding, likely thrown off by wrong focus, means users get bad or even wrong search results, often missing out on good info that right sites like technetbook have.
- Hurting the Web: If a big search engine, by chance or unclear methods, won’t add good sites but shows bad ones, it damages the web's range, quality, and trust in the info shown.
In the end, Bing’s habit of not adding or making it hard for good, right, and useful sites like technetbook. A search engine that can’t sure link users with the best info out there, showing such unsure adding choices, struggles to be truly helpful or compete well.
Not
A lot of people have faced the same issue, and Bing still hasn’t fixed it, it’s been five years since the problem started. What a shame.
