bing versus google

I have been hearing a lot about the bing versus google search engine but the question is which is good.  Can&#8217;t be sure, bing is good is some results and google is good in others. You too are confused then use <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12253" target="_blank">this addon on firefox. This is a nice addon which splits the firefox screen and then displays the result side by side. Here&#8217;s how it looks , great.

3/10 results in first page of bing for my site for search term \”amit agarwal\”.

I was not planning on writing another blog on bing. But then bing lists my website 3/10 so  <a href="http://www.bing.com/search?q=amit+agarwal&go=&form=QBLH&filt=all" target="_blank">here is the link to the search. Worth braggin when there is Amit Agarwal from labnol.

&#8221;If brute force doesn&#8217;t solve your problems, then you aren&#8217;t using enough.&#8221;
