Bing - how come we are not shown in listing?

[idv]

Hi

When looking for our site 'mpn windows' on Bing www.mpnwindows.com it brings back no results for the site?  It has been registered in bing webmaster center with pages starting being indexed on the 3rd October as we only recently included it in Bing.

In Google it is showing up ok however?

In Bing I just did a Site:www.mpnwindows.com and got a full return showing multiple urls for that subdomain. When I did same with Site:mpnwindows.com root, I got back the same. It appears you have a good canoncical redirect as well as it returns the www. subdomain on either.

Not sure what problem you are having or if I just hit it as it had been solved. Either way it appears you are good to go.

Edit - Also got clever and went to rank tracker and put in mpnwindows.com as keyword and http://mpnwindows.com as url and you are ranked #1 for that search term on Bing. (Just curious if it would work.)

Thanks for the reply

What is curious however is that Bing has not indexed all of the pages in the site?  what could be causing this?

The other issues is searching for phrases such as 'Conservatories Llanelli' does not bring back any sort of listing for http://www.mpnwindows.com/conservatories-llanelli.php while on Google its a 1st page listing same goes for 'PVC Windows Cardiff'

I understand that there are different ranking factors dependent on the engine used but what could be done to the site both onsite and offsite to improve the Bing ranking for target keyphrases as above while also comlementing and improving the Google rank.

From the standpoint of Bing not indexing all pages my first guess would be poor internal linking and then insure you have a good site map. One of the biggest errors I see when we have a problem is that we have not paid close enough attention to our internal linking.

Hope it helps.

Had to go look again. From what I see the only link to Conservatories Llanelli is in the footer. This may be where your problem is as it appears the others all have other links. Try putting a link from one of the other areas on the page and see what affect it has.
