Editor's Notes
Paid and natural search nearing peak – most brands will now have a robust Paid and Natural Search strategy in place and working well. Many brands now understand that Social media is more than just the latest craze so are genuinely taking the medium seriously and putting a cohesive strategy in placeBut what’s next?[graph showing slowing growth of paid search spend?]
But we are excited about the Yahoo and Bing Search alliance and the increase in market share as a result.
But there are also some social trends that are impacting the way consumers behaveSocial media has made it easier for people to share, comment and recommend to their friendsHowever social media drives search (funnel) – it raises awareness and drives user search behaviour. Demand that is eventually fulfilled through search
Below is the positioning when referring to the Facebook and Bing relationship. The way he would like this positioned is very much around the fact that it is in the US and there is currently no roadmap for the UK. Microsoft and Facebook deepened their relationship, offering a more a personalized search experience for people who use Facebook and Bing. Bing is adding more social search features, enabling people to make decisions based on information from their friends. Microsoft is quickly innovating in search and keeping the pressure on the competition.
