Optimising for Bing?
-
Hi
I'm looking to try improving our positions on Bing - does anyone have any tools that monitor rankings for Bing? Or provide keyword research?
Or is it a case of optimise for Google and Bing should follow?

In Addition to Andy list there is another one Called SE Ranking which is quite useful and affordable for small comapings.

Hi Becky,
The two do use very different algorithms, but there isn't as much kicking around for Bing as there is Google, for obvious reasons.
In terms of tracking keywords in Bing, check out Accuranker, because you can differentiate.
I would also sign up to Bing Webmaster Tools (if you don't already) and have a look through the set of tools they offer. Diagnostic Tools might be a good place to start, as would the SEO Analyzer.
Other than that, there isn't an awful lot more that I can suggest because I only really focus on Google. I have always found that if a site does well in Google, it almost always does well in Bing as well. However, have a read through their Webmaster Guidelines as well.

Is the search volume insight in Bing more accurate as it is in Google?
Does anybody know if Search volume insight in Bing is more accurate than it is in Google?

Moz is showing Search Volume insight in Bing now (not sure about the reason, probably Moz has no access to Google? Or is it because it is more accurate?)
For some words I have my doubts about the Google Keyword Tool. I don't know about Bing.
For the first time I compare two words on Bing with Google I found out the ratio in Bing is very different compared with Google. Example:
When you check out the words: espressomachine and koffiemachine
**Google, local search in the Netherlands: **
espressomachine: 6600
koffiemachine: 8100
Bing, local search in the Netherlands:
espressomachine: 549
koffiemachine: 361 So..., are Bing users typical kind of users who uses other search phrases?
Or... is one of these two more accurate? Does anybody know?0 -
Google vs. Bing
We rolled out a new site for a customer on an old (branded) domain (14 years old) about 3 weeks ago, and we are doing very, very well in Google for 40+ keywords, but we can't make a dent in Bing. Absolutely nothing. We are using the Webmaster tools for both. Are we missing something? Are we not using the Bing Webmaster tools correctly?

Local Search Not Responding To Optimisation
Hi guys / gals. This is quite rare for me because I normally can put together a good strategy based on the best articles / content etc I have read. However this time I am in a bit of a situation where I dont seem to be able to get results for my Google Local Listings or Google Plus Places page. The listing is good, has a description, images, url, address etc. The weakness was a lack of citations, so I got the White Spark Tool and went to work. I have probably built about 20 citations - all pretty good sites, nothing dodgy. The issue is my listing has gone the wrong way i.e. lost positions. What am I doing wrong here. Is 20 citations just not enough? Is there another ranking factor I am neglecting? I have digested this : http://www.davidmihm.com/local-search-ranking-factors.shtml Please advise peeps 🙂

Bing index
Hi Guys, This is an interesting one. I've recently been looking into Bing and trying to get my company's website ranking for relevant search terms. So I typed in site:www.sparkstone.co.uk and was shocked when only 13 pages were returned. So I signed up to bing webmaster tools and started submitting URLs manually as well as a sitemap. However i've just gone back to check expecting to see more pages being indexed. Sadly only the homepage has been indexed. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Dan

Bing, what does it take?
Hi there, I have been optimizing my website for Google over the past year or so, and now have around 50 keywords or so, moderate/highly competitive keywords on page 1, however there are a few keywords which I have been trying to optimize for which I am finding it difficult getting these keywords onto page 1. However I just noticed through analytics that I am getting quite a bit of traffic through Bing on these keywords, so I thought I would take a look to see where I was ranking for these keywords and to my surprise top 5 for which these keywords. So the question is, what does it take to rank high in Bing? as my results are so different when comparing my Google results to Bing. Thanks
