Search Engine Optimisation for Bing
Search Engine Optimisation as no fixed rule and laws, as it vary from Search Engine to Search Engine. Some thing might be good for one and wont work really good in other, having said that there are still some basic SEO techniques which applies to all Search Engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing etc) e.g. Unique content work well in any of top engine, content distribution, site structure and so on. Below i have listed some of the points which differ to some extent to new launched Bing and Google.
Bing vs Google
Bing VS Google
- Onpage SEO factors are less important a ranking factor in Bing (Search Engine) than Google (Search Engine)
- Both Bing and Google do not use meta Keywords in their ranking factors (but they do not penalize for meta keywords either)
- Bing give more importance to Domain age than the Google Does, so there is a glitch in Bing
- Bing give more importance to theme oriented links than Google
- Bing take lot longer time to crawl a new website as compare to Google.
Despite all those big launches and marketing efforts Bing market share is way below than Google, so i would suggest keep your priority for Google and once you achieved high in Google then think about Bing, and you do not have to do much effort then to get high in Bing.
I have achieved first page ranking for Lcd Display and LCD Displays keywords in Bing but i am not even near for the following term in Google.
