So it turns out that American’s using Bings cashback service are being ripped off very-obviously.
The problem for Microsoft is not that Butterfly Photo have carefully studied the demographics, determined that Bing customers are morons, and have decided to charge them more. The problem is that the service is fledgling, it is trying to gain traction, and any small push could send it off the rails.
I really want a quality search engine to compete with Google. If all I am going to get is a money grabbing, murdoch sourced web. Microsoft can keep theirs. Ask is better.
update:
An article at the register announced
“Bing has boosted Microsoft’s retailer revenues by nearly 50 per cent, according to a new search-ad study.”
I wonder how that happened
