New Bing SERP Showing Old Google Layout Now

If at all there is one search engine competing Google, then it is Bing powered by Microsoft. First time, Bing succeeds in drawing little attention by offering a clean layout.

By embracing a new look or old Google layout, it is sending strong statement that it is here to stay. With the new look one can read without distraction and space is more between the lines. The decision moving related searches from left navigation to below the sponsored listing is wise.

Lately I was disappointed seeing the layout of Google. Stuffed with many features; the timeline results from hour to year on particular keyword; offering various platforms like shopping, blogs, news; jammed with sponsored listings top and right; What Google once known for its simplicity now has a tight packed lay out. On one side, the left of webpage, features content drilldown by location, blog and timeline. The right side crammed with Sponsored listings.

And if you search for local keywords Google display results in a cluttered layout. But my complain is limited to layout and not results. Google is still giving the best relevant results and I have no intention to change the search engine.

However, Bing is not offering anything new. It’s following the footsteps of Google. Keeping the simple Google user friendly SERP won’t help Bing to drive the loyal customer base of Google. It has to give something which help visitors dramatically that they have never thought of. May be on the lines of Apple.

Avoid high frequency of same keywords in Title and Description Tag

As I said this is not new to everyone. Make title tag and description meaningful and readable. Penguin hates too many same keywords in 90 characters of title tag and 150 characters of description.

Don’t stuff keywords in Header and Footer

Three years ago, a trend started in on page optimization. It was common to see the keywords of small font size with hyperlink to home page above or beside the logo. And who can forget the footer getting abused. Plethora of keywords completely occupied the footer of website. For a minute, stare the layout of the website. Do you remember the website designed without SEO elements involved in it? Please ask the first psd file of home page from web designer. See now how the website is, in the name of off page optimization. It’s completely filled with the keywords. Remove all the unnecessary keywords and bring back the beautiful website what it was once. Make user friendly and offer better user experience to visitors.

Change the writing style

Keywords, Keywords Everywhere No Information to Read. Are we writing for visitors or for Google? While writing keyword rich content we forgot for whom we are writing. We trained writers to create content primarily for Google. SEO team started editing the content. And coercively added the keywords at the start of paragraph, center of the body and ended lot of keywords in summary. Redo the content. Remove unnecessary two phrase keywords, three phrase keywords from the content.

The Evolution of Panda and its After Effects

When Panda was introduced to the United States of America on February 24th 2011, majority article directories and portal websites got it. Leave the list of winners and losers of panda update aside for a moment and look back the seo strategies followed by these websites in pre panda era.

Pre Panda Era

Demand sites and article directories are some of the websites where content was being updated one after another. More websites are being founded across the internet. With a number of websites in live, competition is intense among owners of the site over adsence share. And competition is furious between link builders over obtaining anchor text back links from resource box. 

At the time, user generated content production was high Google introduced a new web indexing system – Caffine, started to index new pages at an uncanny speed. But from the time of Caffine update, displaying relevant and quality content from blogs, news sites, forums, article directories became a challenge.

Post Panda Era

Today, most of the sky scraper websites seems not to be making a profit. Perhaps only sites like ehow, techrepublic and intiatimes have been able to keep its head above the rest. So what’s wrong with the panda hit websites or even the authoritive sites as business.com? Why is the panda not affecting the website like techrepublic? The SEOs, speaking in one voice on this, that it is the lack of quality content, bad user experience and duplicate content. 

See the other end of the bridge lies ezine articles, business.com and mahalo.com. For ezine articles, having duplicate content became a bane. Websites like business.com has more to do with big ads on the above fold and poor listing of companies.

 The owners of these kinds of websites have taken stringent action to duplicate content malice, against the submitters. The recent changes in homepage had assured me that their over importance on banner ads and thin content be cleared over a period of time.
