Ranking well with Google but not in Top 50 with Bing and Yahoo?

[inlinear]

I have sometimes pages ranking very well on Google but in comparison with Bing and Yahoo they are not listed within the Top50 SERP's

What are the ranking factors for Bing and Yahoo? Although Bing and Yahoo play a minor role it would be fine also to rank well with these engines.

Thanks for any tips!

The ranking factors are not appreciably different for Bing/Yahoo than for Google, but you will always see some disparity between them. One suggestion I would offer is make sure you are as diligent with your Bing Business Listing as you are with Google. That will assist you in locally ranking. Otherwise, look at those ranking ahead of you and see what they are doing you are not, then see if you can manipulate a page to rise in the rankings.

Not sure how much this still applies but a worthy starting point:

Then of course sign up as a Bing Webmaster and see what data you can gather.

Bing webmaster tools is pretty helpful when it comes to this sort of thing.  Verify your site with Bing WT and in Diagnostic tools you can run SEO tests for your URLs and it will give you an outcome.  If there are any biggies on your site it will highlight in red and amber and so on.

Bing WMT is a great tool and I think it's widely underused.

I have also noticed a couple of older sites dropping off the "Bing/Yahoo" charts, all the way across the board, and ranking very high in Google.

I have found that uniform across the board drops like that always indicate some serious breech in SE policy, and/or penalties as a result. Mere variances in priorities can't account for a 50+ position difference. I have noticed this in the last few months or so.

There is something much more to it than just local listings. It is the most unusual and disturbing trend I have ever noticed. I agree Bing WT's are a good place to start, but I haven't yet found the culprit either.

Don't trust a quick answer!
