Greetings

It's Summer and things are really heating up! Not only the weather, but the search engine wars appear to be back!

Remember several years ago when Google first came on the scene and began taking business from Yahoo? With the addition of Microsoft's newest search engine, Bing, it looks like Google is scrambling to innovate again to stay in the lead.

Bing (not synonomous for "but it's not google") has already passed Yahoo in search engine use and has taken market share from Google. What does this mean to you? Simply put: optimize for Google and Bing.

If you haven't had an optimization report of your website, now is a good time to take a look at how your site is performing on both search engines.
