Link Building for Bing Rankings: Dos and Don'ts | WebProNews

From the article: "Like Google, Bing places great emphasis on quality links to determine its rankings. "Just don't make the mistake of believing it will result in instant gratification. Successful link building efforts require a long-term commitment, not an overnight or turnkey solution," says DeJarnette. "You need to continually invest in link building efforts with creativity and time.""

Bing - Link building for smart webmasters (no dummies here) (SEM 101) - Webmaster Center Blog - Bing Community

From the article: "Bing's position on link building is straightforward - we are less concerned about the link building techniques used than we are about the intentions behind the effort. That said, techniques used are often quite revealing of intent. Allow me to explain.

Bing (as well as other search engines) places an extremely high priority on helping searchers find relevant and useful content through search. This is why we regularly say that search engine optimization (SEO) techniques oriented toward helping users are ultimately more effective than doing SEO specifically for search engine crawlers (aka bots)."

Hi,

How much do you feel Bing help a site traffic wise? I know all hits are important. But with Bing I see very few. I get most from google then yahoo. To be honest I think my sig links get me more then Bing.

Bing algorithm is more straightforward. links/anchor texts = ranking for that anchor text.

I agree Bing is not that important, but it's still good to know how they do things.

I get some traffic from Bing, not to be neglected. Probably it's about 1/10 of G traffic for a keyword that ranks in the same position.

Is the tech from Microsoft or Yahoo search?

Thanks for sharing its make perfect sense to me with the results im getting from search results...

I find that if I rank high on google, I rank high on Bing. I just consider yahoo traffic "bonus" traffic.
