Considering the difference in traffic for the #1 spot and the say #3 spot (and everything below) is so extreme, would it make sense to try to rank #1 in bing and compete with nobody as opposed to trying to rank #1 in Google and competing with everybody?
Of course a ranking in bing probably comes down to similar factors (links...), but I bet for some websites moving from #3 to #1 in bing b/c of actively optimizing for it (on-page factors, etc.) could increase traffic (and hopefully sales) by more than trying to get to the #1 spot in Google that everybody has their eyes on.
PS: I used to think that way, about yahoo no idea if it'd still be a good idea for bing if it continues to receive that kind of attention
