Rooting for Bing big time to keeping cutting into the market share. Thanks, Jim We need competition because as well all know Google has basically become a monopoly and that is not good.

IMO, a lot of people use search engines because it's their default home page, and they don't even know the difference between entering Food into their browser and into their search engine. You are right that if Bing ranks generics higher, and they have less valuable information than brands, consumers will have a bad user experience and switch to Google. I think having the generic name is just half the battle. Having good, relevant content is the other half - which is what I am trying to do with mine :) ie: July 4th fireworks article on Burbank.com, which I know people are looking to find: http://www.burbank.com/news/2009/july-4-fireworks.php @Frankie

Having watched this too engines, we should not rejoice at where generics land. Maybe Generics land lower in google because the other sites that rank above it are deamed to be more relevant. Look if one wanted to go to food.com, they could have done it themself but when people type "food" in a search engine, they are usually asking for more. They are in essence saying "show me the best food joint" online. If Bing keeps bringing up searches that bear no weight in comparism to Google, It will never be able to rival google. People will always stick with the engine that gives them the best results just like you will listen to someone longer if he is saying what you want to hear.
