Time to Start Placing More Emphasis on Bing SEO
Bing Will Soon Be a Much Bigger Piece of the Pie
By Chris Crum
Google SEO vs Bing SEO has been a topic of discussion throughout the industry since Bing was launched. The topic got some heavy play last week at the SMX Advanced conference, and with Yahoo and Bing coming together sometime this year, online marketers are going to want to start thinking harder about incorporating Bing into their strategies if they are not already doing so.
Do you have a strategy for Bing SEO? Yahoo?
WebProNews spoke with Janet Driscoll Miller of Search Mojo out at SMX, who presented on this topic. As she notes, some businesses actually see better results from Bing than they do from Google, and when Yahoo starts using Bing for search, Bing's share of the search market is going to grow dramatically (it also powers search in Facebook, let's not forget).
Janet discusses a tool Bing has in its Webmaster tools that lets you see the types of links that point into you, and lets you look at their value, so you can go after similar links.
Bing is actually redesigning its Webmaster Tools, however. WebProNews also spoke with Bing's Eric Gilmore about this.
The point is, Google's Webmaster Tools have been very helpful for site-owners over the years in their conquest for better rankings. Now that Bing is growing in significance, its tools are going to be helpful as well. |
