Some will say that 2% to 8% is the ideal density of keywords for SEO purposes. Others claim that optimum density for Google is specifically 2% and that anything higher will result in your site being penalized. For Yahoo and MSN, they specify a 5% keyword density. But is it really?

Since Google, Yahoo and MSN began …

To put in a layman’s terms, latent semantic indexing (LSI) is a technique of indexing- analyzing, listing or categorizing certain keywords or phrases in the contents of various websites, books or documents in such a way that they have contextually and conceptually the same or related intent and meaning despite the different words used in them.

The new search engine from Microsoft looks nice. At least for the front page, which displays a different, nice picture every day.
What is Bing all about?
The home page fails to communicate visitors what the website is all about. While everybody know what Google or Yahoo! do, almost no one knows what the heck is Bing.com. I would have inserted a nice tag line below the logo, something like “Microsoft’s Search Engine” or similar.
How do I perform a search?
There is no “Search” button on this page or the search results page. You should always display a web button properly and label it correctly. In this case it should have been “Search” or similar.
