Bing Ranking Factors
-
I have a site and we rank very competitively on Google, but we would like to increase our exposure on Bing and Yahoo. I was wondering if anybody might have some tips or pointers for increasing your ranking on Bing. Also, if anybody knows of any Bing ranking guides or top ranking factors for Bing that would be very useful too.
Thanks,
Jason

I find this to be a good starting point with Bing:
http://www.bingforbusiness.com/
Also make sure to sign up for a webmaster account with Bing:
http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster
If you're based in the US then this is also a good place to check out:
http://www.bing.com/businessportal
As for Yahoo, it is basically the same as Bing so what you do for Bing will be reflected in Yahoo. Hope this helps!

Bing has a relationship with Google, it's just not a very good one
-
I think you meant Bing has a relationship with FB, not with Google? Just checking.
-
Bing indexes different sites and weighs sites differently than Google does, so take a look at the backlink profiles of competitors who are outranking you to see what links might give you a boost.
Because Bing has a partnership with Google, Bing can also personalize search results based on Facebook likes, so getting more engagement on Facebook could help you in the SERPs.
Beyond that, just sign up for Bing webmaster tools and follow SEO best practices.

SEO rank down 35%
So I recently switched from an Opencart website to a Magento 2 website and my rank has dropped by 35% two weeks later, this is bad news. My old Magento website was 5 years old and was in desperate need of an upgrade, hence the Magento 2 site. I realised today that the canonical URLs on my stores were set to the individual stores as opposed to one store, thus I expect resulting in duplicate content issues (even though Google Webmaster Tools didn't show it). I'm just wondering if anyone else can see something I may be missing? My sites are: thespacecollective.com (primary) thespacecollective.com/us/ (canonical to primary) Thank you!

How to get subdomains to rank well?
Hi All, I am setting up a new site and I want to make use of subdomains to target multiple countries as follows: uk.mydomain.com us.mydomain.com australia.mydomain.com etc. Now i know what you're all going to say, why not use folders as they are more effective. Well I did think of this but decided against it because I would like to make the best of a low competition industry. I want to push my competitors as far down in the SE's as possible and i plan to do this by targeting generic non locational search terms with both sites so I can hog the top 4 spots.as follows: www.mydomain.com www.mydomain.com/keyterm uk.mydomain.com uk.mydomain.com/keyterm-in-the-UK Whats steps can I take to ensure rank passes to my subdomains? Is it better to start the site with folders like www.mydomain.com/us/keyterm and then 301 them to subdomains at a later stage or should i start with the subdomains?
