How to fix Yahoo/Bing Ranking with hurting great Google ranking

[inhouseninja]

If you have a Top ranking for keyword in Google but for Bing and Yahoo you rank considerably lower how do you balance the desire to rank better in Yahoo/Bing with not wanting to damage your Google ranking?

Have people found certain on page SEO tactics help one but damage the other?

Does anyone else have great Google rankngs for keywords but Bing/Yahoo are mediocre to poor?

We have a number of sites that rank well on Big G but not on Bing - it seems to be an issue around search lag from our experience. We could be wrong but we've had sites who ranked in top 2 or 3 for a term on G and 6 months later it was top 5 for bing when previously it had been no where, its just possible bing is slow?

I just wonder because we rank in top 10 for benchmarking on Google but Bing and Yahoo are 49/50. Your explanation makes sense except the yahoo/Bing rankings are all over the place. From 50 to 90 to 10 while Google has been steady.

I have had similar experiences, with Google indexing a website within a week or so at the absolute most, and then as time passes and I check the rank tracking tool I use and begin to work on my SEO strat for the ascent up through the ranks of Google's SERPs.  I start wondering why Yahoo and Bing do not appear to have any of my sites pages indexed and I begin to wonder what error I might have made, or perhaps I accidently did something agaist Yahoo / Bing terms of service and am blacklisted...  It doesn't really bother me too much though since with the bulk of the market share, I'm pretty content to be in the good graces of Big G.

Usually, by the time my first round of SEO modifications starts to increase my rankings on Google, I start to show up on Yahoo and then a while later I will start to show up on Bing.

Bing's Webmaster Tools is similar to GWTs, and in my opinion BWT is much more useful.  I would highly recommend that you register an account with Bing and take advantage of their excellent tools and would assume that you will start to see rankings with Bing much sooner from it's use as well.

Hi inhouseninja,

To be straight what I experienced over such same situation is that Bing/Yahoo really works slow to consider newer website pages or new changes in the domain to get indexed or ranking in their SERP listings.

Best,
