Grow your business by advertising on bing, MSN, Xbox, and more!
Last night our friends over at Bing unveiled a new design and announced some exciting new features, focused on Music, Gaming, Movies and TV searches. As Yusuf Mehdi said on the Bing Blog, “Our focus was on making it easy – if you can type in a search box, you can have a great entertainment experience on Bing.” And as more consumers turn to Bing to find entertainment and make decisions, this is a great opportunity for our adCenter advertisers to get your ads in front of your audience as they check out the latest with Bing.

Bing’s Summer Update
…With this release, we’ve attempted to do a couple of things. First, we want to better understand search intent and surface the right tools for you in visually organized, easy-to-use ways. To this end, we have made some major changes to Bing’s user interface which we hope you will like and find useful. We are introducing a feature called the Quick Tabs which sit across the top of the Bing pages highlighting the best and most relevant search results available on Bing, organized in tabs that match the most common decisions you might want to make based on what we know of your search intent. Secondly, we have gone deeper in some of our existing vertical areas, with more definitive content sources for health related queries, more decision-focused travel answers, new and more relevant news, shopping, and finance experiences, just to name a few. Lastly, we have made a big bet on entertainment, a top search focus for customers. 10 percent of search queries are entertainment-related, and Bing is making a first step today to help having a great entertainment experience on Bing easy and fun, so you spend less time searching for entertainment and more time doing the stuff you love.
