Being the best search engine was irrelevant to their rise. It's just a thing that happened to also (supposedly) be there.
Supposedly, as its ranking algorithm was so heavily gamed by 2007 (already risen; popularity incentivized effort to game) it was a complete joke. Powerful illusion again, as they just covered it up and moved on. Also, internal tests from around 2009-2010 showed Bing was seen by users as producing better-quality results.
Not only did they not have much marketing at the beginning, they also didn't have many users.
- bborud 7y agoNo, you are entirely wrong. There's no part of your "analysis" that has any relation to reality. I don't understand why you keep insisting. (I worked for two of Google's competitors in the years where they grew from a student project to a huge business. I had the opportunity to take a peek of the code of two other competitors. Many of my former colleagues helped build Bing. I also worked at Google for a few years. I was there so I would know something about it)
