Hi, everyone.
I tend to try things out and share the results found here which I believe can help us.
So, here is it.
There is a keyword that covers geographical searches.
Let's say, "Top Starbucks Alternatives".
For a geographical search, one can write on "the Top Starbucks Alternatives in Canada".
Having done this myself - the geographical version, I have discovered that Google prioritises pages with lots of backlinks to the main targeted keyword.
Meanwhile, I mistakenly did the same search on Yahoo powered by Bing and discovered that I rank #1 cause the article is well optimised while on Google I rank #5 - the first is not even a search for my geographical area - but they've got a lot of backlinks.
As awkward as it sounds. I recently saw a page that ranked #4 for only a non-youtube video with a disclaimer text while the real page articles are below - all because they've built backlinks to it.
It seems Google can easily be tricked or are they just favouring only Backlinked content without taking cognisance of the real value to the audiences...
It's just bad that Bing does not get all the hypes Google does.

There's a lot of manipulation in Bing, and they do have a pretty good market share in the US, Canada and some parts of Europe. You can make some good bucks ranking in Bing's top 3 results (easier and faster than in Google).
