Ranking on google but not Bing?

[edward-may]

Any reason why I could be ranking for Google but not Bing?

Hey

Could you provide a little more background?

• Is this a new site?
• has it previously ranked in Google AND Bing
• ranking for what and in what position?
• Has anything on the site changed radically recently?

I can see it is indexed in bing and often ranking in one engine usually is pretty close to another so it is likely just a case of waiting a while. I tend to think Bing is a little more old fashioned in it's approach to links and sensitive to traditional on page signals whilst Google has become more nuanced.

In all likelihood, it is just a matter of time but if you can give a bit more info I am sure folks will offer some advice.

Cheers

Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Cheers for your feedback.  Yes the site is new, 1 month now i think its been.   I use myseotools. com and I see no rankings for Bing for the same keywords, but I see ranking in google.

Keywords such as Wellington Psychic Readings (is ranking on google 18th) but nothing on Bing.  This is an article coming from our blog, and perhaps there is next to nothing competition for this keyword, however I'm still not ranking for this keyword on Bing.

Other keywords I can understand will take time as they are more competitive, such as psychic readings.

Do you have Bing Webmaster Tools on there?

Hi Niners52,

I have only just signed up to bing Web masters tools.

Are you showing any impressions or click or is the data still gathering?

Have you submitted your site to Bing? You will have to do that through Webmaster tools. Watch out for emails within the first 2 weeks. If you have any issues with links or on page content, they will not index your site. Make sure you submit the same sitemap you submitted to Google.

Hi Monica,

Thanks for your response! I have 3 top level domains and I have submitted the same sitemap i submitted to google.

Still not seeing any rankings any idea why this might be?

How are your rankings in Google? Usually a site well optimized and ranking well in Google also does well in Bing. Do you have a Bing Webmaster Tools account? Sometimes Bing rejects sitemaps, you would get a message in your Webmaster Tools account.
