2015 Disavow Links on Bing?
-
In years past I was told not to disavow links in Bing unless the site had an issue. This was driven home when a site we were working on disavowed the links in google and saw the site recover after a few months, then when they disavowed the same links in Bing and the rankings dropped 20% over the next few months. The reasoning was that Bing was looking more at the qty of links, and didn't analyze links the way Google does. So even though you might disavow links in Google you might not want to disavow those same links in Bing. Does this still hold true in 2015? I want to get the community's opinion on this topic, should the same links be disavowed in Bing that are disavowed in Google? Why or why not?

In my opinion yes. Since disavowing the links doesn't necessarily remove them, I am a little more cautious on what I disavow from Bing. It is tough to have two different sets of standards for search engines, but unfortunately I have found this to still be the case.
Everything else though, like on page SEO and Social Sharing, still holds true that what is good for Google is also good for Bing and Yahoo. So far the only piece of the puzzle that doesn't fit is the links.

Bing is unsteady, I don't recommend taking any action for bing until you have a serious problem with such as no indexing for a week.
