Bing tip to try

[gaskill]

Once Bing took over MSN, my site dropped like a rock even though I am #1 in the SERPs in Google for my keywords. Two days ago I was on the bing webmaster tools and decided to try resubmitting my sitemap. Today I'm #1 in bing for all of my keywords. Don't know if this was just an accident, something wrong at my end, or if bing just didn't get my sitemap correctly when they made the switchover from MSN.

Give it a go. Nothing to lose!

Here are aome Bing SEO Tips to try:
1. Bing likes older domains better. This means if your domain is older than mine and we are targeting the same keywords – you will have rank.
2. Titles are key. Bing – like most other search engines – like keyword rich titles. This means you should really concentrate on SEO when writing blog posts or creating content. Not only should the title be keyword rich – it should be (obviously) related to the content.
3. Bing likes longer form writing. If the content of your blog post, article, or web page has at least 300 words you are likely to rank higher in Bing.
4. Make sure you are letting in the MSNBot to your site – that’s the spider that crawls your site looking for keywords and text. We’ll have more details in our next Bing Website Optimization post.
5. Link Out. Unlike Google your rank is not affected by linking out – so feel free to do so. Be sure not to do too much as it may affect your Google Rank. I tend not to worry about that because linking is a natural part of the web.
