Theres a recent article going around that Bing copies Google's search results! How scandalous. The article does indeed prove that Bing has non-unique results compared to those of Google... What does this mean? Well it's kind of the same as making your own search engine and just scraping the data from Google.
Sure it might be a good thing to just learn off of the dataset that is from a different source but pure scraping is just shameless. This does actually put a new level of gameplay into the RankManiac though. It probably is possible to make Bing results appear the same as google's. But it's worth too much effort.
They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but seriously Microsoft, why not just make Bing better through effort? Taking the shortcut never helps!
