Image ranking in Google but not in Bing and Yahoo search results

[zco_seo]

Hello,

I have one image from my blog post which is ranking well (ranking in first page for all related keywords) in Google web search as well as image search. Getting pretty good visits from the image result itself for past few days. But this image doesn't appear/rank anywhere in Bing and Yahoo search results.

Can anyone tell any specific reason for the same? Any methods to follow? Any solution? Please guide me.

Hi,

Do your images appear in your sitemap? Generally, there isn't a lot of difference between what Google and Bing look at, but they may both have different scores they associate with various aspects.

With this in mind, make sure that:

• The image is well optimised and not too large
• The file is named accordingly
• Has good descriptive ALT text (but not spammy)

Outside of that, it will also help if you build external links to that page and as with any SEO campaign, if you have pages that you wish to be more prominent for the search engines, remember to do some internal linking too.

I hope that helps a little.
