    On an everyday bases, I seem to be getting very good traffic from Google and Yahoo but when it comes to Bing, their search engine comes last in my traffic sources. Anybody else experiencing this?

    Traffic from Bing seems to fluctuate a lot as they adjust their search results over time

    each search engine has its own policy. optimize according to bing will give you more traffic

    Bing have different algorithms, I think they weight more on age.

    well, you're not going to be ranking well for Yahoo as well since they're going to implement Bing in their search engine. Maybe they have a different algorithm

    I have over 90 websites all recently finished and was ranking very well on Bing originally and recently something changed with Bing and all sites went out of Bing Index altogether. I contacted Bing and received the generalized Bing Technical support response to read several sources for indexing, seo, and forums concerning Bing. I don't know what happened as I was going for small amounts of traffic on each site but many sites means lots of traffic approach. I don't practice black hat seo at least not to my knowledge, and I wasn't turned in for this that I know of. Really strange. I will attempt to reindex my sites and see what happens. Still going strong with Yahoo, and little from google as I know google likes for sites to be around much longer, I can wait. Also, for inquiring minds, yes, I have lots of links to each site, from lots of different sources, and most sites were on front page of search as the url is very specific for search terms. Also, sites are affiliate sites.

    Bing does tend to favor on page seo heavily, while Yahoo favors a directory listing in their directory (who would have thought? :) ) Bing and Yahoo don't leverage backlinks as heavily as Google does, so the main thing here is onpage and proper interlinking

    Bing just takes a little longer, plus the algo for Bing is more sophisticated than Google. But over time not much different.

    It might take a while for Bing to be popular and they currently seem to be in the process of upgrading their interactive features.

    You need to get maximum backlinks to appear in bing. I never get any traffic from bing.. do they even get some search traffic?

    Bing is all about on page SEO. I can't say I have noticed age being an issue, but exact match domains also seem to rank high faster in Bing.

    Bing is currently upgrading its features and as it faces a lot of competion in the search engine sphere, it is trying to include features like those of its rivals. By far, it seems Yahoo! is on the top list, as far as user-attracting changes that have been made vis-a-vis time taken, and which are region specific.
