Bing not overly concerned about back links?

    Has anyone else heard that the new Bing algorithm places significantly less importance on the number of back links a website has, along with some other elements that contribute to a high Google PageRank?

    This would imply that websites that struggle to securing a high position in Google results may stand a significantly better chance if they optimise for Bing... but would that really be wise?

    I don't worry about bing to much, when I optimize for Google I seem to get just as well known in the other SERPS.

    All my sites rank about the same on Bing as Google and Yahoo. Bing just don't get nowhere near the searches as the others.

    It seems that bing will also focuses more on content. Well, anyway, I'm still interested in google and yahoo rather than bing.

    I know bing doesn't get as much searches as Google and Yahoo!, but apparently it converts really well. Just something ot think about.

    It seems to put a greater emphasis on on-page optimization. I had a much easier time hitting 1st page there than Google.
