Google says Microsoft's Bing search engine is stealing its results! And to prove it, they offered evidence they gathered after running a sting operation that shows Internet Explorer tracks what surfers find on Google, then uses that same data to tweak results on Bing.

Google broke this story at SearchEngineLand, and Bing responded and seemingly confirmed this!!

Check out the full story here: http://searchengineland.com/google-bing-is-cheating-copying-our-search-results-62914 - it gives detailed examples and proof, plus chats a bit about bing's toolbar and their TOS which state they are allowed to collect your browsing info to help improve their results.

So if this is actually happening, it seems pointless to do SEO for Bing, since they are just picking up results from Google anyway. So much for competition :uhoh:
