Poor rankings in Bing/Yahoo

[PLP]

Hello,

A site I'm working on ranks well in Google, but does poorly in Bing/Yahoo. Is there anything I should look at?

Thanks,

Dear PLP,

I think that something to be proud of on one level on another of course you want to rank well in everything. If I had any information on your website or it could be something as simple as you are not using the Bing webmaster toolset. here is a link to their toolset and some things that could prevent you from ranking. If you have not interfaced with them very often it could be that you're not even being indexed correctly or at all here is a help form from Bing http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-US/bing/gg132923.aspx I imagine like most web masters you focus on Google as you should. Here is a article from a agency that is recommended by SEOmoz their brilliant http://www.affilorama.com/blog/how-to-rank-highly-in-msns-bing  I would not do anything that you believe would ever hurt you or Google rank to rank higher in Yahoo/Bing after the merger they are essentially using the same algorithm and both Yahoo and Bing are not up on things like the anchor text in your links they my opinion have waited for Google to make the breakthroughs and then copied them here is a article on what makes them they're different http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/hh204500.aspx and here certainly last but not least is your thing webmaster account you must set up and verify separately from Google. http://www.bing.com/toolbox/home/  You have to remember to put their site map up on your site as well and just think of them as Google 2 years ago on page SCO matters more to them I believe as well.

I hope I was of some help to you in this matter. Please let me know if I can be of any more assistance.

Respectfully,
