>>Microsoft has gotten serious about exploiting their search engine tech and that is having an effect If you ask a source like Yahoo who see's real data, you would know thats not true. If Bing is making an impact Yahoo would not be going out of way to avoid Bing. CPC is down due to lower CPC's on Mobile. Isn't it public knowledge?

This was probably a tactic by Marissa to push Microsoft to modify the terms of the contract to be more favorable. Remember she was not the one who signed it.

What do you mean by 'avoid Bing'?

  I think he/she is referring to the news that Google tried to delay roll out of Bing in some Asian markets.

You realize that Yahoo is Bing right? Yahoo outsourced its native search engine to Microsoft a while ago and has served up results from them ever since.

        apparently it does, in addition to other sources (https://dukgo.com/help/en_US/results/sources https://dukgo.com/help/en_US/results/sources). But you are right about Bing being one of them. Though I wouldn't go so far as to say that duckduckgo is Bing like the gp said.

        For most search queries, the results are identical or very similar, although DDG does a lot of enhancement/cleanup.
