 Bing Search Engine Optimization   How To
by Michael Fleischner

Now that new search engines like Bing are being discussed more frequently its clear that people want to know how to optimize for Microsoft’s latest introduction to search. Those who visit Bing will find that the site provides general search and a category search. Other than a change in look and feel the search engine doesn’t appear to have a lot behind it. However, Microsoft has reported a more intelligent search engine and new search experience.

The question that website owners want answered is how Bing produces results differently than the previous search engine and what optimization techniques should be used compared to those used for other major search engines. Ive done quite a bit of research on the subject and it appears that there are only a few factors that might influence Bing results compared to Google. The thing to keep in mind is that following SEO best practices will rule the day.

One of the best ways to reverse engineer a given search engine is to do a study of the top ranked website for a specific term. Based on some research that I’ve done and the work of others in the SEO community, it’s pretty clear that this type of analysis provides clues of which criteria weigh most heavily in Bing’s search algorithm. No one will be all that surprised to learn that older domains perform better than newer websites and in bound linking plays a major role in results.

It appears as though Microsoft’s Bing search engine is using many of the same ranking factors as other popular search engines. This is good news simply because optimization of web sites take time and trying to optimize for one search engine over another may provide very mixed results. Bing likes web site that have a number of inbound links and that is pretty consistent regardless of which search engine you are trying to improve your organic results for.

Improving your organic search results is vital to your online success. Many website owners or affiliate marketers believe they can buy their way to top rankings. In turn, these ranking produce significant traffic and a profitable revenue stream. However, organic results take time and hard work. If you know where to focus, you will get to your destination much quicker. Focus your efforts on building links and optimizing your pages for success.

The other place you want to focus is content. Quality content is vital. But trying to attract users with quality content alone is not enough to rank on top for competitive keywords. Make is easy for others to link to your content and give them a reason to do so. Add time to your daily efforts to acquire links from relevant and authoritative sites to increase your rankings and keep you on top of search engine results.

Focus on search engine optimization basics if you want to improve your website’s rankings. Not only will this have a positive impact on your Bing ranking for certain keywords but it will also have a positive impact on your site’s ranking across most major search engines. Fundamental principles like quality content and easily crawled web sites have a positive impact that can last for a very long time.
