"We do not copy Google's results."
Which does NOT answer the claims really. No one is saying they COPY them verbatim. They're saying that they SOMETIMES 'look at' the Google results as a ranking signal. And in SOME cases (it seems when it's a fairly obscure search phrase), Bing displays the same result as Google does - as the sting operation shown.
This naturally doesn't mean that Bing copy Google 100%, of course. But that's not what today's news is about.
A very weak 'reply' from Microsoft which again seems to pretty much confirm that they ARE 'looking at' certain Google results.
- contextfree 16y agoIt's getting blurbed as "Bing's results are a copy of Google's". The nuances you detail are buried halfway through Danny Sullivan's article and are not reflected in his takeaway in the conclusion.
