How to fix Yahoo/Bing Ranking with hurting great Google ranking
-
If you have a Top ranking for keyword in Google but for Bing and Yahoo you rank considerably lower how do you balance the desire to rank better in Yahoo/Bing with not wanting to damage your Google ranking?
Have people found certain on page SEO tactics help one but damage the other?
Does anyone else have great Google rankngs for keywords but Bing/Yahoo are mediocre to poor?

Hi inhouseninja,
To be straight what I experienced over such same situation is that Bing/Yahoo really works slow to consider newer website pages or new changes in the domain to get indexed or ranking in their SERP listings.
Best,

I have had similar experiences, with Google indexing a website within a week or so at the absolute most, and then as time passes and I check the rank tracking tool I use and begin to work on my SEO strat for the ascent up through the ranks of Google's SERPs. I start wondering why Yahoo and Bing do not appear to have any of my sites pages indexed and I begin to wonder what error I might have made, or perhaps I accidently did something agaist Yahoo / Bing terms of service and am blacklisted... It doesn't really bother me too much though since with the bulk of the market share, I'm pretty content to be in the good graces of Big G.
Usually, by the time my first round of SEO modifications starts to increase my rankings on Google, I start to show up on Yahoo and then a while later I will start to show up on Bing.
Bing's Webmaster Tools is similar to GWTs, and in my opinion BWT is much more useful. I would highly recommend that you register an account with Bing and take advantage of their excellent tools and would assume that you will start to see rankings with Bing much sooner from it's use as well.

I just wonder because we rank in top 10 for benchmarking on Google but Bing and Yahoo are 49/50. Your explanation makes sense except the yahoo/Bing rankings are all over the place. From 50 to 90 to 10 while Google has been steady.

We have a number of sites that rank well on Big G but not on Bing - it seems to be an issue around search lag from our experience. We could be wrong but we've had sites who ranked in top 2 or 3 for a term on G and 6 months later it was top 5 for bing when previously it had been no where, its just possible bing is slow?

Big ranking drop after 12/Jan/2017
Hello, moz users. Has anyone confirmed that keyword ranking dropped since last few days? I've tracked several keyword ranking by Moz and SEMrush and the ranking dropped big time on both tools today. one of the keywords dropped its ranking from 10 to out of SERP. Mozcast has shown high temperature so I assume there is or has been algo update but I would like to know someone encountered the same issue. Thanks.

What are the top tips for winning on Google, Bing, and Yahoo?
We just launched a new site that is starting to be indexed well in Google, but Bing and Yahoo are lagging a bit. I understand that the search engines are different algorithms and will take different lengths of time to index, rank, etc. What I'm curious about is are there any other tips / advice / things to keep in mind when trying to rank on the different search engines? Thanks!!

What is the impact of HTTP/2 on SEO ?
I think it's good for the user experience and speeds up websites, especially if your site has a lot of requests. But i'm not sure if there are other side effects, and if there's an impact on SEO or technical configuration. Most of my websites are built with Wordpress, some with Joomla.

Ranking drop Feb 2013?
I'm trying to get to the bottom of why Directholidays.co.uk suffered a drop in rankings for the term "cheap holidays" in February 2013. Im looking at this recently and as an outsider so I haven't got access to Webmaster tools and I haven't been tracking rankings/link profiling. They moved from 2nd to 10th temporarily and then recovered at 7th the new 10th! I've looked at keywords improved/declined on, keywords lost/gained, traffic, traffic price but im failing to see exactly what I can use to show whether Panda #24 (officially 22nd of January) had a significant effect. Can anyone shed any light on this? It would be massively appreciated!

Why does Google Alerts call my website a blog?
Our company started a WordPress blog about 14 years ago. It has since added a third-party forum, a user-submitted photo gallery, and a huge database of searchable products. We also have almost 4000 posts. With all that said, Google Alerts often lists our content under blogs rather than websites. Sometimes it shows up in both? Does anyone know what criteria Google uses for determining the type of content, and how we can signal to them that we are a website?
