Just found something interesting on a Bing SERP: they were not only showing individual images as usual, but were combining several images in one frame.

In the close-up image you can see current products as well as their predecessors. Meaning: these older images are not at all displayed on the website.

My guess is that the Bing algorithm groups images together, which have something in common - as long as they are to be found on that webserver.

Bing is testing SERPs without URLs today. The dropdown for the recent cache is moved up to the site name.

Of course, this makes the page look less cluttered. But I do miss the hints, to which webpage a click really takes me ...

Today Bing was testing a more subtle version of mentioned verification icon for top results: "Official".

#bing #SERPs #search #SEO #SearchEngines

Today Bing seems to be quite busy testing small verification icons for the top results.

I have seen 4 different versions that differ in icon shape or placement. When hovering the mouse over, "Official site" or "Verified site" was displayed.

As only the top result in this test was awarded this batch, this might give a little extra boost to the CTRs.

For quite some time now, Bing has offered the possibility to directly search for selected phrases on their SERPs.

Now they have taken the next logical step: you can use ChatGPT directly in the SERP, too.

I guess this is mainly to draw people´s attention to their AI offering, as selected passages from snippets rather rarely will make very useful prompts.

My selection, of course, is a pretty poor choice, as ChatGPT quite clearly states ... 😂

This feature can certainly be quite handy but it does also feel like it could easily facilitate #academic #plagiarism.

Maybe that's just #AI 🤷‍♂️

#Update Microsoft Bing has added its chat search to other browsers besides Edge in the future. So if you are logged into Bing, you can use Bing Chat on Chrome and Firefox and likely other browsers.

Microsoft Bing was talking about bringing its chat search to other browser besides Edge in future. And I think I just saw this for the first time.🧐

In Firefox a light purple box appeared at the bottom of a SERP. Entering a question resulted in a regular ChatGPT answer from Bing.

Will be very interesting to see, whether this could move the needle for adoption of their search engine.

Bing seems to be quite active in testing ad labels lately. Today I noticed an "Official" label in front of the URL of an advertisement.

It does not offer any further explanation about why it is considered official, but most likely it is related to their verification program for advertisers.

The label itself seems only to show for the first paid listing.

At least in this test, the "ad" label moved back to where it used to be ... 😂

#bing #PPC #search #SERP #SEO #ads #SearchEngines

Just saw the sneakiest ad label on a search engine EVER.

I wonder, if you can spot it at first glance.

It´s hard to find a good reason, why Bing would test something like this, which could potentially piss off lawmakers.

Typing this from my newly installed #MicrosoftEdge browser. Curious to know if it's indeed less resource-hungry than Google #Chrome. Let's see...

But looks good so far. Also, I didn't know that #Bing was from #Microsoft. It was installed as a plugin on my #Android keyboard from one of the updates some time ago.

But I'm not sure if I'm ready to let go of Chrome just yet. 🤔

Have you tried Edge? How's your experience?

Bing is giving the bookmark-like version of logos in the left column even more space in another design test. This time they are adding the domain name and a green check mark.

The bookmark is animated and fading in from the main column, expanding to the left.

This new layout makes individual organic results very easy to spot. Besides, these bigger "buttons" might come in handy on touch devices.

Another SERP design test from Bing: since a couple of days they were displaying logos in front of the title in the left column. Today this was modified by showing a bookmark-like version of logos.

When scrolling down one sees the logo fading in from the right, making the SERP more lively.

The logo seems to be bigger than in previous test. A click on it brings searchers to the respective result.

Personally, I do like this design, as it better structures the SERP.

Bing seems to be running a new test on their first SERPs: besides blue boxes for sitelinks of the organic number one result, they were showing 2 grey boxes for some other results in the left column.

Possibly these boxes represent entities and main keywords of these pages.

At first glance I don´t see the advantage for regular users. So, maybe this is giving a glimpse into how Bing organizes results? Maybe it's not meant for the public?

It seems that Microsoft has a knack for developing software that can be a bit sluggish at times, doesn't it? 🤣 #microsoft #Bing

Why has the performance of Bing Chat become so sluggish? While ChatGPT remains as fast as it used to be. 🤔 I'm referring not just to the response time but also to the lag while typing a question. #ai #chatgpt #bingai #bingchat #Bing #openai

Wow, When did #Google image search start to suck ass? Instead of results matching the image, I got shopping results matching what the woman in the image was wearing. It even highlighted a box on the image emphasizing her dress. When I expanded the box to include the whole image, there were no matches!

#Bing image search produced a whole series of images very similar to mine and no shopping results.

Bing seems to have a new feature on their video SERPs: upon hovering over one result, it offers a link ("More like this") to a specialized result page.

If it is a video from a YouTube channel, it also offers a link to a page, where more videos from that channel are displayed.

On this new page more videos from said channel are shown plus some basic key facts and a button to "Sign in to Follow".

📈 #AI is Fueling #Stock Market

A handful of stocks are spearheading the S&P 500's impressive 9% rally this year – they're mostly at the heart of the AI mania, thanks to #chatbot, #ChatGPT.

#Stocks on the rise:

#Microsoft (MFST) has surged over 32% this year, with their partnership with #OpenAI and their AI-enhanced #Bing.

#Nvidia (NVDA), whose chips are fundamental to AI boom, has soared 110% this year.

Global X #Robotics & #artificialintelligence ETF (BOTZ.O) is up nearly 30% this year.

Bing seems to be stepping up their efforts to capitalize on the ChatGPT integration.

When searching for "test" on Firefox today, a box appeared in the right column typing an (actually quite funny) AI-like answer.

The button as well as the box below hint to using Microsoft Edge to enjoy the new Bing search experience.

So, Bing is more actively cross-selling the Microsoft browser to further the adoption rate.
