And The Winner Is... Google Webmaster Tools

Google or Bing Webmaster ToolsAbout 6 months ago, I ran a poll asking webmasters which they prefer, Google or Bing Webmaster Tools.

Since I am offline today, I figured I'd publish a bunch of poll results in order to keep you all busy.

The winner of that poll was Google Webmaster Tools, where a overwhelming majority prefer Google Webmaster Tools over Bing Webmaster Tools.

Google Preferred Over Bing Webmaster Tools

Like I said then, Google's has been around much longer and have released many many updates. But Bing just released a major upgrade with some unique features.

Google is the no brainer but every single Webmaster should be using both tools. Bing has some incredible data. If they wanted a larger adoption rate, they should bring back Site Explorer as an open public tool.

Forum discussion continued at Sphinn.

This was written yesterday and scheduled to be posted today.
