Wednesday, December 30th, 2009 | Bing News, Bing Polls, Bing talks with No Comments »

Bing gives you the right salary. The crisis is almost over. Maybe it’s time for a raise? But how much to ask for? Here’s a quick tip from Bing:

Just type in the Bing search box:

[job] salary
where [job] is the job you have or want to have. Some examples:
engineer salary
stock broker salary

bing salary

We did some searches and found out some interesting stuff. For instance, if you want to be paid on hourly basis, a bartender (Hourly rate :$6.17 to $8.89) is paid the same as a babysitter (Hourly rate :$5.79 to $9.96), but not as good as a bodyguard (Hourly rate :$16.59 to $50.71).

What is the best paid job that can be found by Bing salary search? Comment:

If you want to buy a used car, there’s one simple way to instantly find its history. You guessed right, it’s done by using Bing. Here’s how it works:Put the car’s VIN into Bing search box and hit ENTER. The first result will be the used vehicle history.

VIN stands for Vehicle Information Number and was initiated in 1980. It’s a standard method to identify cars. Decoding the number is easy and free. The used vehicle’s history is provided usually for a small fee. But several bucks can really make a difference because nobody likes to buy a car that had problems in the past.

Bing is able to display the information only in certain countries.

Top celebrities and politicians with Bing xRank

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 | Bing News, Bing Polls, Bing talks with No Comments »

Top celebrities today? Top politicians or top bloggers? Everybody is interested in this kind of information. You can access it by using Bing xRank. Here’s how to:

Bing xRank ranks most notable people

According to the developers, “xRank keeps track of notable people and puts them in order for you. We count Bing web searches for movie stars, musicians, and other famous people. Then, we compile our findings into an insightful ranking formula that tells you who the world is searching for most. The result is a cultural snapshot of who’s hot and who’s not!”

By using xRank, you can easily do one of the following:

  • Search.
    Enter a name and Bing will tell you who they are and how they rate.
  • Learn.
    You can browse a bio or get the latest news headlines about the person you’re interested in.
  • Explore.
    For each celebrity, you are ine click away from the latest videos, images, movies, albums, and more.
  • Relate.
    This is one of my favorite features of xRank. This is one big electronic gossip machine. Thumbnail photos at the bottom of xRank show you the associates, friends, enemies, and romances, of the person you’re interested in.
  • Scan.
    You are a big fan of some singer or movie star? Look over the rankings and trending over time. Movement at the top of the list means more than it does near the bottom.
  • Track.
    View a person’s popularity over the past six months on the xRank History chart. Under the xRank History chart, find the top-moving searches. These are real searches from users on the day the person peaked in popularity on xRank.

Celebrities, politicians and…

According to Microsoft, worth tracking are:

  • celebrities
  • politicians
  • musicians
  • bloggers

You can see that these are the categories which make the first page of tabloids, except maybe bloggers.

I’m not into any of the celebrity business and also not interested in politics or top bloggers. But I like the concept and think this is a valuable SEO resource for people interested in more visitors and clicks. Write about what’s hot and you may receive thousands of visits a day.

What do you think? Is xRank useful or not?
