SEO And Bing

All search engines will pick a site up eventually, imho.

 

Forget Bing
if you wish to try it with them then sign in to webmaster central and verify your site and submit sitemaps etc
yu can use this tool too from Microsoft

but really you will be wasting your time i just wrote a post on what happened with me - i did everything including all optimization requitrements and wasnt indexed
with google and yahoo i get number one ranking for my chosen forst ten keywords and bing deosnt even register me in their index despite the fact i submitted the site and verified withy their bot code tag in the page and submitted sitemaps. Instead all that came up in Bing with my keywords were these crappy obscure half finished blogs with no posts etc and my site was not there on the first 50 pages of search!
on the "why isnt my site indexed" thread on Bing webmaster forums last night my inbox was spammed with 50 posts from dissatisfied customers whose site wont get indexed all in half an hour i got 50 mails in about ten minutes from bing.. i couldnt unsubscribe despite an unsubscribe link in each mail it only leads to the thread with no unsubscribe option
i couldnt delete my account either they dont let you
read these posts for more info before you decide to wast your time with them
they are gonna flop anyway so dont worry about bing theyll be gone before you can say bang

youll see that even the bing people replying to posts (it at all they reply) are bots not people
and lastly a more extensive and perhaps funny post on a forum which i posted on about bing
im webmaster sam on that one and gtp dave is the admin who posts in that thread.. he gives some astute and important info about what Bing likes in a site and what not he knows a lot about it
but my comments are more critical
i think its important to read

I should say it is a lot of links from old domains

 

Am I allowed to give the truly useful suggestion: boycott it?

 

I don't like bing and don't want to start with it...

 

Yeah, but it would be an error to ignore it completely, if it were ever proven to actually require different optimization techniques than Google. I don't know if you were around when Google really hit the scene, but the long and the short of it is that just because a search engine is king today doesn't mean it'll always be the case.

 

do what you do as usual...

 

I have one tip....Forget about Bing. It's worthless very frustrating.

 

i am used to say that bing is antiseo

 

Forget Bing and focused on Google is an expert in SEO

 

You mus focus on google
Bing is worse than Google and Yahoo

 

consider on google but you want to place in bing. Get good backlinks from high PR websites .

 

Why care about Bing...

 

I love BING


all my websites rank 1st page BING while google has them on the 10th page!



google sucks

 

Thanks. But can any one explain briefly.

 

yep other than pinging them your sitemap there is no point in making any special effort to rank with them no matter what they will account for a max 5 percent of your traffic and that is if you rank well with them. Concentrate on the googlebot!

 

I have a great post that was pulled directly from Bing's Blog that outlines a lot of it...

SEO is not the first factor to be the 1st page at BING, bing have their own rule and its different with google. Just focus to one SE and you will success

 

Do you have any information about bing's use of nofollow/dofollow links???????

 

Bing, like Yahoo, places more emphasis on the on page optimization of keywords for seo. So optimize your on page content well and submit sitemaps and verify site, etc. to get good ranking with Bing.
