Looking through some logs I noticed a bunch of traffic coming from bing.com. Funny thing is, it is NOT people searching for something and my site coming up. It appears that bing is doing keyword searches. For example here is a list of words it has looked for so far this month:

The reason I can tell that it is not a person is that one, the requests are coming from a BOT. The second is that when some one actually uses BING to search for something there is additional stuff “left” on the referrer string. Is bing really that stupid about how it indexes a site? So I guess the point of this is, if you want to have your site on the top of the list with bing, just put a dictionary on your site ;-).
