Bing, what does it take?

[Paul78]

Hi there,

I have been optimizing my website for Google over the past year or so, and now have around 50 keywords or so, moderate/highly competitive keywords on page 1, however there are a few keywords which I have been trying to optimize for which I am finding it difficult getting these keywords onto page 1.

However I just noticed through analytics that I am getting quite a bit of  traffic through Bing on these keywords, so I thought I would take a look to see where I was ranking for these keywords and to my surprise top 5 for which these keywords.

So the question is, what does it take to rank high in Bing? as my results are so different when comparing my Google results to Bing.

Thanks

Hi Irving,

Thanks for you reply.

I am using data-vocabulary.org rather than schema.org

Ok, so what you mention is on page, what about off page?

Thanks

Here's my quick Bing checklist:

• Use schema.org Microformats

• Use great title tags

• Make sure your site and sitemaps are error free

Hi there,

I don't think this is the case anymore, I have another website I use for testing which is an exact keyphrase, this used to rank highly in Bing, no.2 for a keyphrase which has 20,000 exact monthly searches, however ranked on page 5 now, however no.4 in Google.

Just as a quick answer I know the domain relativity counts more on bing so if you have your keywords in your url you will come up higher on bing than google.
