Bing Search Engine visitors might not observe, although the Microsoft search engine (SE) tends to show smaller amount of advertisements along with search results than its rivals do. The main cause for that might be that advertisers are drawn more to Google, but Microsoft says the differentiation also comes from an artificial-intelligence practice that aim to bring only the majority applicable or you can say genuine ads.

The method will soon get a wider test. As we all know that Yahoo is now already making the control to Bing to authority the search results on its site. And that is prompting Microsoft researchers to divide more details about the algorithms of Bing (MSN) uses to try to please users and advertisers alike.

Although often annoying to users, the ads that appear next to search results play a crucial role in the online economy. They generate more than $25 billion in revenue each year. But most of that money flows to Google, which handles about 63 percent of U.S. search requests. Yahoo processes about 19 percent, while Bing has a nearly 13 percent share, according to the latest data from comScore, a marketing research company. Microsoft intends to reach a wider audience of Web searchers through its partnership with Yahoo.

Set up a Custom Icon When Readers Bookmark Your Site
I hope you all aware of the term "favicon". If not, it is a little icon that shows up in your bookmarks as well as in the tab display of famouse Web browsers like Firefox, IE, Google Chrome and many more. Favicon is also known as favorites icon. Here are the simple steps to create the Favicon:

  • First Choose / Create Your Image : Using any graphics program, design an image that is 16 x 16 pixels. There are few web design sites that also provides animated favicon as well. After that, save the image as a .GIF or .BMP file format in your machine with 256 colors (preferably). Icon files, like Web images, have to display on computer monitors, so they can't reliably display millions of colors. As an icon file is for displayed only in Windows, so it can be 256 colors, rather than the Web standard 216.
  • Converting it to an Icon : Once you have created the acceptable image for favicon, then you have to convert the image to the icon format. In the net, you will find many icon editors available. If you ask me then I mostly use IconForge by CursorArts. Make sure that you save the file as favicon.ico.
  • Publishing the Icon : It is very simple to publish the icon, simply upload it to the same directory as the file you want bookmarked. You can also put the favicon different icon on every page of your site (if you wish to do so), or point to one icon in many folders.
