How do i start ranking on bing?
-
can i submit a sitemap to them, like google?

All the above are excellent suggestions - the only one I would add is social media shares, mentions and links of your site and its content. Bing is particularly focused on integrating social media metrics into their ranking algorithm as far as I'm aware, so all of the above plus social media links should help considerably.
-
Sign up for Bing Webmaster Tools and submit it in the same way as Google Webmaster Tools, although I have never found a real need to do this as if you are ranking in Google you usually find that your ranking in Bing unless something is seriously wrong and you've blocked Bing bot!
-
Step one: sign up to <cite>www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster</cite>
Submit a site map and check if the site is indexing correct.
Some areas which bing focus on (similar to Google)
-
Backlinks quality, build high quality backlinks.
-
Anchor text use on posts - Make sure you have good relevant anchors.
-
On page optimization tactics
-
Age and authority of the domain, from my analysis Bing treats aged and trusted domains over time more effectively.
-
also focus on targeting sites via Yahoo such as yahoo directory.
-
work out who is ranking well for terms and reverse engineer what they are doing.
-

To be very honest if you have submitted an xml sitemap you can submit use it for Bing as well though Bing tool box but I don’t think this activity will help or stop you from ranking in Bing.
Bing crawlers will eventually find your website and will crawl and index it… so letting them know that you exist is great but they will catch you and index you (sooner or later)…
Your question got no specifications but if the case is that you are indexed but not ranking then rules are almost more or less same as it is for Google… build Good content attract valuable links, repeat the process and be a winner.
If you have any specific case please add more details to your question!

Rankings drop since switch to https
Switched hosting companies, and then switched to https for the entire marketing site as a result of needing the security for the signups. Rankings in several (most areas) have tanked since then. Site hasn't changed otherwise, is responsive, fast, and spidered well. See: http://pisoftware.com I FEEL like the redirection is being handled properly, but I can't be sure. Moz reporting duplicate content on the homepage between http and https - but I honestly don't know why. Any help - ANY - is appreciated. Hair being pulled out, and I don't think I'll look good completely bald. 🙂 Kelly

Best Way To Pass Rank To Follow Up Article?
What is the best way to pass rank to a follow-up article? For example, we write an article "Product A Rumors" that ends up ranking #1. When Product A is released, we write an article called "Product A Review". What is the best way to pass rank from the first pre-release article to the second post-release article? We don't want to do a simple 301 redirect as we want readers to be able to go back to the first article to see the progression of the Product A life-cycle. Also, should we go back and edit the old article to add a link to the new? Should we add a link in the new article to the old? Thanks in advance 😉

New site not ranking for it's name
Performed on-page SEO for this new site that went live a couple of weeks ago - no link building or anything of that nature yet. http://maven-management.com I'm starting to see the site rank on Bing for some keyword phrases but it doesn't rank for the business name "Maven Management" on any major search engine. SEOMoz gives my on page optimization an A for the business name for the home page. Am I just being impatient? I didn't really put much effort into ranking for the business name because that generally seems to happen without any issue. There are other companies online with the same name. Any insight is appreciated.

Has anyone ever attempted (successfully or not) to consciously reduce their amount of homepage links in order to improve their search engine rankings?
I work for a retail company that is highly segmented. We have a lot of categories to cover the types of merchandise we offer on our home page, and way more than the recommended # of links on our homepage because of it. Has anyone ever attempted (successfully or not) to consciously reduce their amount of links (and categories) in order to improve their search engine rankings? If so, can you walk through your process and your advice on whether or not reducing links on a site like mine is a good idea?

Ranking on page 5 for a 1% difficulty keyword
Hello mozers, I am going crazy over this. I have designed a new site www.smh.cz. The company name / kw is unique (Smolikova Mikulas Hendrich), but it appears on page 5 on Google.
On-Page Optimization | | ilincev
Yahoo and Bing is fine (in top 3 positions). All the on-page factors are ok too.
All the smh.cz pages are indexed on Google. We have done a 301 redirect of two other domains (sm-legal.cz and smm-partners.cz) which were websites for the firms prior to forming a new one. I am scratching my head over what does Google dislike so much. Any thoughts? Can the smh.cz domain - which previously had some dodgy insurance content - be the reason? Your help is much appreciated.
