So Bing for their response to allegations of copying their Google results. I don't think Bing have been sharply their response as it would have been.
Today I'm going to write a post, I think that would've written by Bing. Be clear – I'm absolutely no relationship with any of these companies (using gmail, analytics and adsense), I'm only insert it here from my view of the situation. After that, I'll get back to blogging about cool web stuff and stop ruining My chances of ever working for Google ...
At the beginning, you can search the text on the page to determine whether this page relevant to your query. This works well, especially in the choice of the length of the page and any other documents in the collection and the relative density of keywords on the page. This method of retrieving the information is in scientific circles, known as the TFxIDF.
The trouble with the TFxIDF on the basis of search is that you never designed to deal with people trying to intentionally manipulate search results. Carefully choose specific keywords in the document, you can quite easily manipulate this "bag" approach to search.
In 1998 Larry Page and Sergey Brin is to demonstrate the power of using the number of inbound links on a Web page has as the signal to determine the quality of this page. This is called "pagerank" in their most important book "The Anatomy of a large-scale Hypertextual Web search engine", and formed the basis of their search engine Google.
A great side effect of this kind of link chart based approach is that the page will take measures as it is outside the control of the author of this page in the order is determined by how many other people link that is much more complex games (even though it is not possible).
In the years after the creation of a Google search every time the company received some form of PageRank and dramatically improve the quality of search results at a flat rate.
Today, you may build a search engine indexing only enough a lot of pages, the calculation chart links between them and the combination of measures with data on the TFxIDF incoming links.
But to really search engines is the head and shoulders above the competition, you can start using the other signal. For example, Google recently announced that they were starting to look at the speed of page as a signal of quality. Bing with thousands of signals; incoming connections, the number of tweets, sentiment analysis, linking, sharing data and the like.
Bing is the motivation was: "we want to see good quality links to Bing. How people express the quality of the link? By clicking on them! ". For people who have subscribed to the toolbar, Bing, Microsoft began to collect information about the links you have clicked. This profile was anonymised and sent encrypted, so nobody MS could spy on their users. So that the association between the pages has been created – not only that the page refers to 5 other pages, but also that these 5 pages more frequently clicked the Association. This gives Bing the relationship between the link appears on the page and the page refers to the link. Bing is not for every site, whether it's for your blog or search engine or purchase site. The information collected on the Bing what links people are clicking on and which is used as one of the signals to determine the page quality – the theory is that the quality of the pages get more clicks. Other Web users also about this great is that as PageRank, takes over the control over the search order of author-it has been decided in order, so theoretically means less spam and more relevant, high quality, search engine.
When Google their experiment, created a special page on their site, which contains the words that exist nowhere else on the Web, then installed the Bing toolbar and clicked the link these "synthetic" pages. Bing toolbar sent MS data, much like a piece for all pages and their system of integrated "data to the other signals as well as normal.
But what meant was that when he then went to Google and Bing to search for unique words, all the other signal if you have any input data only if the Bing from their "signal, and so it was, as used by the system. Not surprisingly, the Bing returned on the same pages as well as Google, because all the data that was in the world on this query! Bing didn't collect data, therefore, that it was from Google, Bing collected it Bing toolbar users.
Microsoft wrote a neat little tool that allows you to collect "click-stream data from any website and Google crier announced, because he also worked on their site. If they had spoken to Bing first without making all these allegations, I think that the whole situation could have calmed. But even so – now Bing is known that the "data can be taken advantage of such as this, Bing will look deep into how best to stop this happening.
So this is what I liked to see Bing would you say that in its reply to Google. The fact that they were not as clear-cut in their denial would suggest that the picture is not completely correct, the event or that Bing had other things, but wanted to communicate in the message.
OK, I think the end to this problem is now – still tired from the wrong information in the comment threads on this topic.
Update: Oh boy. Matt Cutts wrote a fantastic blog, only some of the other evidence. It is necessary to swallow my pride here and say: it really looks like Bing, they have been specifically aimed at Google.
Matt refers to the Microsoft research paper, which contains the damning evidence:
We are a "reverse" parameters from the URL of the meeting [formulation query] and see how each search engine encodes the query and the fact that the user received the URL by clicking on a proposal from the spelling query
The book is available here: Learning Phrase-Based spelling error models of the ratio of the Data.
My apologies Matt and Google. I think initially submitted in support of the conclusion wasn't searched and therefore my blog post. But this Revelation we strongly refer to Bing intentionally and specifically targeting Google result pages, which is very clearly copying from Google. Shame on you, I am Bing, how could you have that it was OK to do?
