Bing SEO
-
Hi
I am seeing a large drop in our traffic from Bing - this is usually a good traffic source for us.
The drop seems to be at the same time Google had the slow roll out of Panda 4.2 - would this have anything to do with it?

Thanks! Still not 100% sure what caused it but I'll keep looking!

Hey
Highly doubt this is anything other than a coincidence.
Hope that helps.

Usually, Panda update refers content duplication, so you should ensure that all content of the website is unique, grammar error free and using canonical tags.
If all things seem good, you should evaluate reasons behind this drop, for that you should check in Bing webmaster, compare rankings with last report in Bing search engine and/or you can use several online tools like Moz, Google Analytics or any else that would be help you understand exact scenario.

Prioritising SEO Tasks for Biggest Impact
Hi I want to find out, what people feel the top 3 focuses should be for an SEO (I know there are hundreds)...Content/Backlinks/Social/Technical I'm trying to better prioritise my work - I work on a large ecommerce site - with just me as the SEO & a development team in France So most of the technical stuff is controlled there.

What is the new / current google algorithm update targeting and how to adapt / fix SEO approach accordingly ?
Over the past c. 3 weeks our average Google SERP rankings for a site have been as follows : week 1 : average 3rd in SERP week 2 : average 1st in SERP week 3 : average 7th in SERP Reading on sites including Moz, SEO Roundtable and looking at Moz's mozcast tool it seems there is allot of change going on with Google's algorithm at the moment. Is there a general consensus as to what the new algorithm update is targeting so that we can adapt our site / marketing accordingly ? Or is it too early to adapt ? When Google rolls out an update like this is it common to see fluctuations as they try out things or if we are currently down in the rankings should we take action now. I know there a tools that look at your google analytics data an overlay a list of major google updates such a penguin and panda, but from what ive read this is a generic algorithm change rather than a defined named update.

Does Bing fully support SNI yet?
We're working on enabling SNI on a large number of ecommerce websites, however I've read that Bingbot has real issues with SNI. There was a 'through-the-grapevine' response from Microsoft in April 2015 saying it was supposedly going to be fixed "within the next 6 months," but I can't find anything that corroborates that. There was also an article on SEL in July 2015 that basically said that microsoft may have pushed a fix out, but that there were still lingering issues.

Confused About Addon Domains and SEO
I find addon domains really confusing. Everyone I've asked so far says that they don't affect SEO but I find that really hard to believe considering the same content is on both a subdomain and a subfolder and also has it's own unique domain. PLUS (in my case) completely different niche sites are sharing the same hosting. I really don't want to pay for hosting for all of my different sites but at the same time, if it's better/safer to do so for Panda/Penguin reasons I'm happy to do that. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your opinions/suggestions!

Yahoo/Bing cache date went back in time
Within 12 hours of submitting a new site to Yahoo/Bing webmasters it was ranking #3 for the primary homepage search term and in the top 5 for about a dozen other. On 7/23 the rankings were steady or climbing with the most recent cache date of 7/21. Now the site only comes up when searching for the domain name with a cache date of 7/11. I launched the site about 14 days ago so I am not expecting results yet but I had never seen this happen so I am just curious if anyone else had.
