Why would my keywords never ranking in Bing but have great position in both Google and Yahoo?

I have several keywords ranking top 5 for Google and Yahoo but nothing from Bing. Any ideas?

I know this might be obvious but just in case... Have you checked to ensure that your site is being indexed by Bing?

Have you installed Bing Webmaster Tools on your site and looked in there?  There you can see how many pages Bing has crawled and indexed, and submit your sitemap.  You can also submit individual URLs for Bing to index (10/day, up to 50/mo) which should help Bing find your site if it hasn't already.

Agree 100%!!!

We got a VERY powerful keyword ranked #3 in Bing. Two days later, Bing sent me an email through webmaster tools letting me know that they dropped the keyword from us because our website had no content about this keyword. However, our website is almost exclusively dedicated with original content specific to this keyword.

I have never thought that a competitor could rat you out to the SE and get you dropped. That said, I find myself thinking this was almost certainly the case. I have no idea how.

The good part was Bing was kind enough to give me a way to solve the problem. I was out of the country at the time, so I ended up doing it though chat and email. It took a few days, but the person was extremely helpful and even gave me some good SEO tips. It took about a week to solve and get back on the SERPs, but I am still far away from my original #3 position.

The entire process took about two weeks. Getting a real human to verify our content took the longest.

I would have never been able to fix this problem had I not been using webmaster tools.
