I agree developers are more biased towards Google (or away from Bing) than the general population. But I used to run a real estate website which crosses a wider cross section of the population than stackoverflow and all the non-Google search engines did an exceedingly poor job of indexing and delivering traffic to that site as well.

Are they? I can easily imagine it being the other way around. I don't see how general population would know about other search engines or even consider that Google != Internet.

But of course, without hard data the whole topic is groundless.


I am basically thinking that Bing 'sponsors' many other pages to use it as the default search engine so they will stumble across it.
