Is SEO For Bing Different?

[varshahooda]

Is Bing SEO is different from general SEO.What is the difference??

Bing like any other search engine loves quality content, Bing put more weight on domain age, and likes links from different domains unlike Google that he is more on quality of the link, however, the anchor text of the link doesn’t seem to be as much of a factor in Bing.

Bing Mostly Likes Aged domains and a lot of content pretty much like yahoo

Bing has webmaster guidelines and they pretty much explain on what they emphasizes.
Important stuff being:
Incoming links (from older domains with a high number of links, related to yours)
Your domain age
If incoming links have in anchors keywords the same as the keywords from the domain you are getting a link from (strange huh?)
Content optimization (pretty much google like, h1, <b> etc)
And other small seo stuff.

Bing likes outbound high PR links in your site. Yes outbound ...Bing hates links from forums and blogs

Hmm I am not sure whether this statement is true....I have several aged domains (regged since 2003 - 2004) and none of them are indexed in Bing as well as they do in Google.

Maybe you should change your user name to "BillGates"
How do you know this? Do you have any evidence about outbound links, and what do you mean Bing hates links... Does it call them names and throw things?
The only one that knows for sure how Bing works is... Bing.
But in the meantime, have a good title, quality content, and quality links.

Difference between Bing and Google? - Yes there are many, but rather than make a broad bland statement I shall merely offer a comparison.

Two moths ago I moved two quiet web pages to a Blog.word press - these word press blogs link to each other and have a few dozen links pointing to them from my main pages . . Each short message on the blog text links back to one of my pages (depending on the topic - text matches topic) - so basically the entire block consists of reciprocal linking -
The topic is narrowly defined.
the main site is well aged (10 years plus)
No Tool bar page rank .

A search of BING using three major key words for these blogs finds a top five result. A search of Google - does not find the blog

There is a difference! . . ( Bing might be more tolerant towards reciprocal linking? - who knows )

All a webmaster can do is 'put the work in" If it gets a good result - do it some more - If it starts to hurt . . Then Stop doing it.

P.S. my initial intent was to get some value from search engines to the pages the blogs linked to, in terms of key word recognition for the pages the text links pointed at . . .

Note; I have details of web addresses and the location of links, and search term used - if anyone wishes satisfy their curiosity. but they are rather boring. and contacting me should only be for the purpose of finding out why Bing and not google responded well to what was done. (In terms of recognising the page rather than the links)

Thanks Tubby. But what kind of SEO will helpful to be there in Bing page 1.

Sometimes I think that mostly we think about SEO far too much. I personally think the rule for success Is to pinpoint in your mind the exact person who wants to find your site. (not the exact person you want to find your site)
