How do i start ranking on bing?
-
can i submit a sitemap to them, like google?

All the above are excellent suggestions - the only one I would add is social media shares, mentions and links of your site and its content. Bing is particularly focused on integrating social media metrics into their ranking algorithm as far as I'm aware, so all of the above plus social media links should help considerably.
-
Sign up for Bing Webmaster Tools and submit it in the same way as Google Webmaster Tools, although I have never found a real need to do this as if you are ranking in Google you usually find that your ranking in Bing unless something is seriously wrong and you've blocked Bing bot!
-
Step one: sign up to <cite>www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster</cite>
Submit a site map and check if the site is indexing correct.
Some areas which bing focus on (similar to Google)
-
Backlinks quality, build high quality backlinks.
-
Anchor text use on posts - Make sure you have good relevant anchors.
-
On page optimization tactics
-
Age and authority of the domain, from my analysis Bing treats aged and trusted domains over time more effectively.
-
also focus on targeting sites via Yahoo such as yahoo directory.
-
work out who is ranking well for terms and reverse engineer what they are doing.

To be very honest if you have submitted an xml sitemap you can submit use it for Bing as well though Bing tool box but I don’t think this activity will help or stop you from ranking in Bing.
Bing crawlers will eventually find your website and will crawl and index it… so letting them know that you exist is great but they will catch you and index you (sooner or later)…
Your question got no specifications but if the case is that you are indexed but not ranking then rules are almost more or less same as it is for Google… build Good content attract valuable links, repeat the process and be a winner.
If you have any specific case please add more details to your question!

Need help on declining page rank
Hi Guys,
On-Page Optimization | | Slideuplift123
We had a consistent page ranking for a specific keyword between 5 and 8 positions on google. This week all of a sudden the page which was ranking for that keyword no longer ranks for it and another page has started ranking for that keyword that too at 20th position. I am so confused why has this happened? I didn't do any changes to that page or to the now ranking page. Can anyone help why could this be happening?0 -
There is a copy of our website that is ranking. How can I let Google know our website is the authentic site?
I just found another copy of my old website and have no way to take it down. Unfortunately, it's ranking so he didn't place it as a nofollow. (My boss hired someone to redevelop our website before I came on board and never finished the project). So, could this be hurting us? I tried to look to see if we were being penalized and couldn't find that we were. Also, ever since we migrated to a new domain name, our ranking is tumbling. I've redirected properly and tested to make sure they're resolving correctly and they are. I have no idea what is going on. We've virtually lost all ranking. Any help would be much appreciated.

New Page Not ranking?
One of this client's top keyword is "oak beams". They already rank well in the UK for other related terms like "reclaimed oak beams" at /reclaimed-oak-beams/ and "air dried oak beams" at /air-dried-oak-beams/ We have created a page at /oak-beams/ but this page ranks nowhere? Instead the reclaimed oak beams or air dried oak beams page ranks for the term "oak beams". Any ideas why Google is swapping between those pages and not choosing the /oak-beams/ page? A few notes are that the /oak-beams/ page is newest page on the site and yes I know there are no links pointing to it but there are no links pointing to the other pages either?

How to rank well on 2 keywords - 2 separate pages or 1 combined page
Hi, I have a website about allergy. We ar developing new content, and through keyword research I have discovered that "dog allergy" and "cat allergy" are both very common searches. However, the cause, and symtoms are very alike for these 2 types of allergy so it would make sense to combine the two allergies on one page. So my question is: What do I choose to increase my chances to ranke the best I can for both "cat allergy", and "dog allergy"? Should I develop 2 separate pages for cat & dog allergy or should I do a combined page? (We would of course review the texts so no duplicate content/text would be used if we chose to have 2 pages) I would be so greatful for your advice!! Kind regards, Jeanette

Why does http://www.southernhearth.com rank so well for patio furniture and outdoor furniture?
I was looking at the competitiveness of ranking for the keywords "patio furniture" & "outdoor furniture" and was shocked to see www.southernhearth.com ranking so well. While I am just getting into the research, I was unable to see anything that would justify it's rank. What are your thoughts?
