Anyone seeing big drops in Bing this month?
-
Seems like our Google rankings are improving on most sites, but BING took a big hit this month for many of the sites we working on. I have never seen them drop like this before. Anyone else seeing the same thing?
I am wondering if it is because we are building a lot of brand links vs. keyword links and Bing still wants to see the keyword links.
What have you seen?

We saw a dip in June and July, but August they seemed to have gone back up or back to where they were before June. We weren't doing anything out of the norm or any spammy stuff as our Google and Yahoo rankings remained consistent and/or improved. In June, however, when we grabbed our rankings we did notice the dip, so we resubmitted the sitemap and URL back to Bing for another index. You may want to try that route if you haven't done so already.
It was a head-scratcher, but we seem to be back up to where we should be. Try the resubmission and hope your rankings improve going into next month!

Bing traffic seems to be stable for our clients compared to last month. No fluctuations here.

This indirectly answered why my Bing and Yahoo dipped significantly. New website - so submitted a new sitemap to Bing. Was wondering why my rankings all took a huge dip in a single week. Looking at it now the previous rankings were from the old site. Now for the building up again
