Did Google Just Get Caught Blatantly Copying Bing Search Results?

Bing search results showing up in Google
My previous blog posting on this situation.

Now it seems that Google is being quite the hypocrite.

Except in this situation there is no use of a dedicated downloadable toolbar to track individual user data for personal optimization (as was the case in the 9% success rate of the Bing Sting operation). These results are coming straight from Google itself and happen 100% of the time. Specifically, Google is tracking pages that Bing has indexed. These pages are not gibberish and they are not made up specifically for a sting operation. These pages are for live and relevant search results.


I wonder how Matt Cutts and Google will respond to these new allegations? My first guess is that they are going to try and ignore it and hope it goes away. I will make sure to keep everyone posted on the situation.
