Bing and Yahoo Vanished
-
I currently have a Website that is ranking #1 or #2 for almost every keyword we are targeting in Google; however, when I go to Yahoo or Bing the site doesn’t appear at all. In fact, even when I search for the domain using these engines I don’t appear – only a sub-domain that’s hosted on the site does and at the bottom of page 1 for the domain search.
Any insight as to what might be causing this or where I should start looking?

I submitted my site map to Bing Webmaster tools yesterday and it's still flagged as 'pending'. Does it normally take that long?
-
I'd start by verifying your site in Bing Webmaster Tools and seeing if they have any messages for you.

Mixed Mobile Friendly Google vs Bing
We are having an odd thing happen with our Mobile Friendly status. Google has had the pages "Mobile Friendly" for almost a year now. While Bing says we fail mobile friendly. We've tried changing the two things we are failing on in the Bing test but that breaks the page for some users. Two things we are failing on Bing are: Viewport Not Configured correctly - We have tried their suggested tag, it breaks our pages on Tablets. Page content does not fit device Width - Page does fit the devices fine, Google has no problem with it. What do you suggest we do?

Why is my Bing traffic dropping?

What To Do About Yahoo Slurp Bot Bogging My Site Down?
Hello, Our IT department has informed me that they have seen extremely heavy traffic from the Yahoo Slurp bot in recent days. They are claiming this bot has single-handedly caused one of our servers to crash. I am a bit skeptical of this, as I have not found these particular legitimate search engine bots to be aggressive resource hogs, especially for an enterprise-level web server. I have requested to examine the server logs myself, but have not had success with this. IT is requesting to block this particular bot, but I am apprehensive about doing this, as I don't want this to have any negative implications on our site showing in Yahoo News or other Yahoo properties. Does anyone else have experience with this bot being an overly-zealous resource drag, and if so, what is the best course of action to satisfy all parties?

Bing seriously hitting our website
Hi I have a strange query, Bing in the last four weeks have been seriously crawling our site, and while at the moment this isn't affecting our servers, coming into the busy time of the year I am just wondering if anyone else is seeing this. They are basically crawling the entire site (including nofollow pages) even though according to Bing Webmaster tools, they know our sitemap. Is anybody else seeing any unusual activity with the Bing bot. Thanks Andy

Is Tumblr being used as a social algorithm for Bing and Google?
Hi Y'all, Bing uses Pinterest as part of its image search by using pins of users...But what about Tumblr? Is Tubmlr still a good source for a ranking factor when pointing an image link to your blog? Our industry is pretty boring, so we would get a few clicks here and there a month, but nothing compared to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest...but overall is Tumblr a good backlink every time a blog is posted for search algorithms?

Dropped Out of Google and Bing
I am helping with a site that at one time I had on page 1 for Google/Bing. Site started to slip in rankings, then someone else did a makeover of the store and botched things by renaming pages, having errors in pages (multiple head/body), mismatch page names from sitemap, etc. Site slipped to page 4/5. I righted things, fixed duplication using canonicalization, made some other changes. Now site is gone completely from Google/Bing for desired keyword. No penalties. Site still shows if do search on domain name. Site is www.plussizeplum.com (plus size lingerie, sorry), keyword target is plus size lingerie. Anyone have any clues, tips, etc on why we fell off the face of the earth? Page Authority/Domain Authority are both comparable to most of the page 1/2 sites for same thing. Thanks for any advice.

Yahoo and Bing, what do they want?
My websites rank very well from Google searches, but not so well with Yahoo and Bing. What do these search engines want?

Not ranking as well in Yahoo/Bing as in Google. Why?
For my top 132 keywords, my target ranks an average of 7 positions lower in Bing and an average of 9 positions lower in Yahoo. Does anyone have some good resources to read, or any tips on why we would rank so much poorer in Bing/Yahoo than in google?
