Best strategy for optimizing Facebook annotations in Bing & Yahoo
-
My website has a page on Facebook with around 32K connections, these are not showing up in Bing's serp annotations because Bing is not associating my page with the website. Unsure why because I have closed loop links and used their Page Like Box to generate those 32K connections. I have Facebook insights and Bing webmaster tools authorized for the domain
Does anyone know how I can ensure Bing makes that connection?
If that's not possible, would it be more advantageous to drive likes to my sitewide domain or specific pages?
My testing on Bing suggests the domain level like is most likely to trigger annotations, even for deeper pages with no specific likes.

I've been testing a few solutions, but nothing has changed yet. It may be an issue of Bing's index and timing still, so I'll wait a few more days before trying something new.
- My facebook page id was correct in the open graph meta tags, however the URL linter said it was displaying twice.
- On another website I own, Bing properly attributes my fan page, without any open graph mention of the page id. Assuming it just follows the links that reciprocate.
- So, I've dropped the page id from my problem site to see if bing can make the connection on her own.
