After months of work, I am on page 1 of Googe for both my keywords.

HOWEVER, I am on Page 5 of Bing for one, and page 3 for the other. This has gone down from Page 4 and Page 2.

Obviously, I am doing SOMETHING right, or I would not be on Page 1 of Google.

So what am I doing wrong for Bing?

Here are my stats:

Yahoo backlinks: 85
Google backlinks: 2
Alexa 5-day moving average: about 1.7M, up from 8M on 29 Jun 11

My site is in my signature.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

John

Good job — Page 1 on Google shows your fundamentals are working. Building on ’s point about social signals and ’s on-site emphasis, treat Bing as a second engine with overlapping but differently-weighted signals. Bing’s documentation highlights engagement, freshness, page-load/user experience and site reputation as explicit ranking considerations. (bing.com)

If you can’t edit HTML in your GoDaddy template, use verification and submission methods that don’t need head edits: verify ownership in Bing Webmaster Tools via DNS (CNAME/TXT) or import your property from Google Search Console, then submit an XML sitemap and enable IndexNow (or use Bing’s URL submission API) so Bing sees updates quickly. Use your domain control panel (GoDaddy) to add the TXT/CNAME record if required. These steps get Bing to crawl and index more reliably without touching Google-facing content. (intercom.help)

Focus on safe, Bing-friendly on-page and technical fixes that won’t hurt Google: unique title and H1 tags, descriptive meta descriptions, clear internal linking, accessible image alt text, canonical tags, HTTPS, and faster pages. Add structured data (JSON‑LD / schema.org) for key page types so Bing can identify entities and content types more easily. Also stop relying on Alexa rank — Alexa.com was retired in 2022 and no longer a valid signal. (bing.com)

For links and amplification: review Bing’s backlink report, remove or disavow only after careful analysis (Bing increasingly filters low-quality links automatically), and aim for a few authoritative, relevant editorial links rather than many low-value ones. Use social distribution to create discovery and links (Open Graph/Twitter Card metadata helps if you can add it). Three immediate steps: verify via DNS, submit your sitemap + enable IndexNow, and use Bing Webmaster Tools to check top pages and backlink health — then iterate from there. (blogs.bing.com)

Google and Bing are to entirely different search engines. Most people worry most about Google as that gets much more traffic. Keep link building and you will also get page 1 for Bing.

Google and Bing are two different search engines, They both have different search algorithm,On Bing Onpage seo is also a big factor whereas google doesn't give too much importance to onpage SEO in search algorithm

Different approaches to indexing such as images, and especially social (as Bing integrates Facebook sharing data in its index due to their agreement/deal) can effect many rankings in search. The same approach will not work to the same degree with both engines.

Hi Tom:

Thanks for letting me know about Facebook.

Are there any other techniques I could try to help build my Bing rankings WITHOUT affecting my Google rankings?

Can you install bing webmaster code on your site?

Bing generally gives importance to page content and onsite optimization. Also the age of your site matters in Bing.

Member Avatar for AccurateAG

Hi All:

Transcribe, the age of my site is 7 years. When I ran a few tests on my site, I came up with a grade of 85. Since I use GoDaddy, I can't do a lot of the tweaks recommended by the Hubspot tool; I don't have access to the HTML code (it is a template site).

LogoOnlinePros, I do have my site registered with Bing, and have verified the site. Is there any other Bing code I need to be aware of?

Thanks, guys.

John
