Link Building for Bing
Ever since Microsoft came out with their new search engine Bing, there have been lots of buzzing about it. And good buzz at that…not what people expected to see which was just a name change from “Live.com” to “Bing.com” and nothing more.
But Bing has taken a lot of people by surprise and now that Yahoo! has agreed to use Bing’s search results as their own search engine (thus taking the number of major search engines down to 2), it’s a very big deal and has great potential to be a big competitor for Google.
Just for the record, the use of Bing’s search results at Yahoo.com probably won’t come to light until sometime in 2010 or beyond, but it is something to start taking notice of right now.
Because we know that this change is coming, we can be fully prepared for it. And that means doing a few things to be sure that our websites are on top of these changes starting today.
I’ll be covering Bing in sections during the upcoming newsletters but for now, I want to focus on one of the more crucial elements of getting listed well in Bing and this is where your linking strategy comes into play.
Unlike Google who tends to keep information on ranking well in their search engine pretty close to the hip, only divulging just enough information, Bing seems to be moving in the opposite direction. While not full-disclosure by any means, Bing does give you a lot of tips and ideas when it comes to ranking well with them.
So let’s take a look at what Bing considers to be important where linking strategies are concerned.
