Just when you thought Bing was up to no good for the very last time, it seems like they’re messing with the rankings of links in search engines even more than ever. Confirmed by a confidential group of SEOs and webmasters, Bing has apparently decided to begin “docking”, or demoting, websites 10 and 20 spots as evident by a recent change to Bing’s search results.

It’s bad enough that the FTC is investigating Google for allegations of unjust and monopolistic use of search engine rankings. Now, Bing is floating in the same boat, moving links around at will to “penalize” certain webmasters, SEOs, and website owners. So why is Bing doing this after such a hard battle to claim 20% of the search industry? I have an idea.

Perhaps this sort of thing is a direct function of a corporation feeling invincible like so many other big companies have fallen victim to.  What they forget is that the public voice is loud and so strong. Docking the wrong people for the wrong reasons is only going to lead to a significant loss of the Search Engine market share that Bing worked so hard to get.
