Search Engine Optimization for Bing

pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
When I attended both SMX Advanced in Seattle back in June and SES San Jose just a couple of weeks ago, I heard
a lot of questions from webmasters about Bing, especially pertaining to search engine optimization issues.
Typically these included:
I want to do SEO for Bingâ€”where should I start?
How is Bing different in terms of SEO?
What do webmasters need to know and do?
Are there any insider tips for successful ranking?
I’ll tackle these questions by providing some useful, baseline information and include pointers to more detailed,
pertinent docs.
As you know, Bing is an evolution in the search engine space. With its innovative, new user interface (UI) design
SEPTEMBER
32009
Search Engine Optimization
for Bing

bringing new depth and opportunities for searchers, they can now quickly find the information they seek when
they search the Internet. New UI features, such as Quick Tabs, Related Searches, and Document Preview (to name
just a few), surface more information and present more opportunities to discover what searchers want to know
so they can make more informed decisions more quickly. As a result, we describe Bing as a decision engine. (For
more information on the new UI features in Bing, see the Bing Webmaster Center blog post, Bing white paper for
webmasters & publishers released.)
Under the covers of the new UI, we do a lot of engineering work on a very large scale. For example, we crawl a
variety of content types found on the Web, index that content, apply appropriate algorithms, and finally send
relevant content to user queries in our search engine results pages (SERPs).
Bing’s SEO principles
SEO is fundamentally about creating websites that are good for people. The most basic advice we can give for
achieving optimum rank for your site in Bing is to do the following:
Develop great, original content (including well-implemented keywords) directed toward your intended
audience
Use well-architected code in your webpages (including images and Sitemaps) so that users’ web browsers
and search engine crawlers can read the content you want indexed)
Earn several, high-quality, authoritative inbound links
As you can see by the links, much of this material has already been discussed in-depth in the Webmaster Center

team blog in our ongoing column, search engine marketing (SEM) 101.
The type of SEO work and tasks webmasters need to perform to be successful in Bing hasn’t changedâ€”all of the
legitimate, time-tested, SEO skills and knowledge that webmasters have invested in previously apply fully today
with Bing. Moreover, investments in solid, reputable SEO work made for Bing will bring similar improvements in
your website’s page rank in other search engines as well.
Ultimately, SEO is still SEO. Bing doesn’t change that. Bing’s new user interface design simply adds new
opportunities to searchers to find what the information they want more quickly and easily, and that benefits
webmasters who have taken the time to work on the quality of their content, website architecture, and have
done the hard work of earning several high-quality inbound links.
Key content and tools for performing SEO with Bing
To keep up with the latest and greatest information coming from the Bing Webmaster Center team, we
recommend that you follow and review the following content:
Review the Bing official guidelines for successful indexing document for various recommendations on
technical and content issues as well as known problems that can affect your site’s rank
Visit the Webmaster Center blog to keep up with the latest information from the team (you can even
subscribe to our blog’s RSS feed to automate this process)
Register all of your websites with Bing Webmaster Center tools, where you can use our tools to see all
sorts of data to your website pertinent to webmasters

Participate in our Webmaster Center user forums to ask questions and provide us with feedback
We look forward to working with you as partners in helping our mutual customers find the information they
seek on the Internet.

I really don't see how this is very different from Google guidelines
We are following the sitemap rules diligently on Bing webmaster tools but Bing is
taking forever to crawl http://www.oneindia.in
We get about 1% of search engine referrals from Bing, 95% is from Google

I cant see a big difference either yet my homepage http://www.byfchat.com will not
pull up in the search when the site name is typed in. The site is cached and index
properly but it's as if the homepage is penalized for some reason. Strange!

I see posts all over here asking why Bing isn't indexing sites. How come this is not
directly addressed in your blog? I have had my feed set up for over 4 months and only
29 pages have been indexed? My forum has over 5,000 posts and grows everyday.
Google has indexed all my pages and I get a very steady stream of traffic from Google.
Bing on the other hand has not produced a single click through to my site?
Everyone would love to see a real competitor to Google. I had really high hopes for
Bing when it launched and made sure to set up my webmaster account right away. I
am extremely disappointed by the results so far.

I think google and Bing provide us almost same result so i can say that search engine
are same as google.

We think there still allot of work that Bing still needs to improve on, We still need to
give it some time..but most of these issues should have been dealt with before Bing
went public, as another ms release there's still some bugs.

Bing is slow at indexing content. They often drop good sites out of the database for
now reason. I have gone through that bing optimization report and it is nothing new.
Good SEO for every SE is
researching the target market (keyword research)
developing great content aimed at your target (content writing)
Letting others know and spread the word (link building & social
bookmarking/networking)

really don't see how this is very different from google guidelines
we are following the sitemap rules diligently on bing webmaster tools but bing is
taking forever to crawl

Thank you for your effort, but in the main I saw only some explanations generally
given in your article. I could send a delicate question?… 5-6 months ago with a just
started website I have had fast results on Bing and put in sandbox from Google.
With actual site started in July 13 (http://www.doruman-business.com) I was indexed
by Google in the second day and just from two-three days I saw ONE result from ONE
keyword in Bing, so for what I could understand, now I was put in sandbox or
something like that by Bing.
It`s just a pure unfortunate coincidence?!…

Google Ad Sense Message Boards Fraud

Google Ad Sense is when a web site owner opens an account with Google to place
advertisement on their web site. When a person clicks this advertisement, the web site
owner gets an average commission of .45 cents. A web site that gets a lot of traffic,
they can easily make $150,000 per month.
There are message boards claiming to be informing the public about scams being
done by companies or individuals. These web sites have individuals working for them
for the sole purpose of targeting companies or individuals in order to generate traffic
to the web site. This method is artificially generating traffic to the web site, this is
FRAUD as outlined by Google. The higher the traffic, the higher the percentage of
individuals that will click onto the Google advertisements.
Additionally, Individuals post copy right information about a company on these types
of web sites; this is against the policy of the Google Ad Sense program.
If you believe that you are being targeted by individuals on a particular web site;
simply click the Ads by Google in the bottom right hand corner of the advertisement
on the web site. You will be taken to a Google page, click onto: Report a policy
violation regarding the site or ads you just saw.
File a report and the Google Fraud Department will investigate.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. http://www.cityfitted.com I've set up webmaster tools for

regarding website, stats, hits, unique visitors, top keyword searches, possibly some
type of graphic view of how your site is doing performance wise, as well as showing up
in the search.

Thanks for your guides and informations…
bing webmaster tool it's ok!
http://www.lignanosabbiadoro.com

Whatever it is, its impossible Bing will outrank Google. Why? Because Google is SO
generous in picking up and indexing people / customer website whereas Bing and
Yahoo is SO stingy. Example: I have 2 website in my own language and 2 in English.
They have the same design and graphic but different the alt (description) tag. But
Bing and Yahoo threw away 2 of my English website because to them it's the same. I
know this because at first, all of my website is beautifully shown up when I perform the
search query. But then, they're gone, leaving only the 2 version (in my language). I
have submitted to the DMOZ and try submitted again to Bing and Yahoo. They
appears back but then…they're gone again. Maybe they think they're somehow better
and precious (special?) than Google by doing this kind of discipline. Or they think Bing
has it own class in measuring SEO. But to me, it's a crap. All they ever did was showing
their arrogant attitude in handling other people hard works. Bing, for me, for you to
brighten up better than MSN is just a nonsense. It's just a dream that will never come
true. Google will always be the King because they knew the secret to stay ahead.
There is much more I would like to reveal about why Google will never be beat (or you
guys will stay a par with them, or 2-3 behind) but why should I? I know you guys
(Bing) will never accept a comments from some unknown humble guy like me…

Maybe this has to do with your host? I was pretty surprised because almost as soon as
Bing was live, I started getting referrals. I do get most from Google and MSN. The
company I buy my package from says they're optimized for all searches and I'm pretty
sure they're right.
I do think the Bing webmaster setup looks a lot friendlier and is easier for me to use
than the Goo webmaster tools. I did some Google optimizing, but eventually just gave
up. Ironically once I stopped trying, my Goo searches increased. Go figure!
I like the look of Bing; love the photo. Covered the debut in my column for The Writer
online.
best to all–

I think there's still a lot of room for improvements for bing.

Bing can be a good alternative for indexing to other sites. You can also use this
alongside other search engines for better results. However, since Bing is relatively new,
(it was released just last May) there is still some quirks and issues that you will need

I think bing has the potential to be a competitor to google – i mean, it's already
overtaken yahoo which is no mean feat. But the bugs stopping so many sites getting
indexed properly with users not getting directed via keywords will put off some
designers from devoting so much time to optimising their sites for it. Google and
Yahoo both put my site at the top with my keywords but bing shows little signs of
indexing more than the wrong sitemap! http://www.adviceintegration.co.uk

Want to know the quickest way to cripple your advertising message on the internet?
DON'T search engine optimize your content pages.
Yes! There's the blatant truth – web copy and search engine optimization are two
critical partners in your future profitability and success. You CANNOT have one
without the other and expect your website to generate real profit.
And that's what most new marketers completely miss when they're just starting out
trying to drive traffic and business to their sites.

search engine optimization</a> + Killer Copywriting = Higher Sales Conversions

This is the best-kept secret of internet marketing. It's the one thing your competition is

newbie marketers have yet to discover!

Honestly,
I have had several sites some of which show up on the first page for Google and
Yahoo, yet somehow they are 1000+ deep on Bing!?!?! WTF BING? I think there
needs to be some adjustment on your crawling engine. Perhaps you should switch to
a "Running" engine instead…I think dirt moves faster than the Bing indexing engine.

I got 2nd rank in google and 1st rank in bing.

No wonder Bing has such a relatively small percentage of market share, the
webmaster tools are pathetic, and the crawl frequency seems really slow. The majority
of the webmaster tools take you to different websites, so you never quite know where

I've got over 60 very good quality backlinks which Bing rates high as it gets. The 3
whole pages it indexed rate as high as it's little ratings meter gets, as does the site…
but never… ever… any indexing.

Bing has my site indexed #1 for it's primary search term. That happened only after I
sent feedback pointing out that the site has been #1 for that term on Google for
years.
I have over a million unique pages on my site (its a directory). Bing has indexed 1000
pages. I get little to no traffic from Bing. I get 10K+ visitors daily from Google viewing
more than half a million pages per month.
Is Bing of any use whatsoever? I don't think so. Bing simply isn't in the same league
with Google. The index is slow to update, thin in content, and MSNBot seldom goes
beyond the first page level.

One issue with Bing search result page: Bing is automatically mixing exact search
results with results of some popular searches.
E.g. Bing will not show http://userthought.com website if you search for "userthought"
keyword. It will display a lot of unrelated pages based on more popular "user thought"
search key phrase.
Google's approach is much better:
Google shows two results from exact keyword match AND suggested results BELOW
them (NOT MIXED).
So, the same "userthought" keyword in google shows http://userthought.com on the
top and other suggested ("user thought") results below.
This approach satisfies two categories of users – the ones, which search for
"userthought" and others, which mistyped and really looking for "user thought" (with
space).

Google really does need a competent competitor to pull it onto the path where we all,
including Google, benefit. Unfortunately, Google is turning out to be the only player
and we will all suffer in the long term. I was highly enthusiastic about Bing and
wanted to all that I could, as a commercial user, to support it. it started off with poor-
to-fair results – I assumed that it would improve. It has not; it has nose dived into an
appalling level of performance. Microsoft has developed some sound tools such as
the II7 suite. How come such good engineers cannot create a better performance in
indexing and search results? The indexing has declined rather than improved.
Microsoft needs to get its finger out for all our sakes.

All the guidlines are more or less similar to Google.
I submitted my company websites like http://www.britsavings.co.uk/ &

I will say even google crawling is very complicated, sometimes we dont have crawling
