Google accuses Microsoft Bing of cheating by copying search results
Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 12:36 PM EST
"Google has run a sting operation that it says proves Bing has been watching what people search for on Google, the sites they select from Google’s results, then uses that information to improve Bing’s own search listings," Danny Sullivan reports for Search Engine Land. "Bing doesn’t deny this."
"As a result of the apparent monitoring, Bing’s relevancy is potentially improving (or getting worse) on the back of Google’s own work," Sullivan reports. "Google likens it to the digital equivalent of Bing leaning over during an exam and copying off of Google’s test."
Sullivan reports, "Bing doesn’t deny Google’s claim. Indeed, the statement that Stefan Weitz, director of Microsoft’s Bing search engine, emailed me yesterday as I worked on this article seems to confirm the allegation."
