Social Optimization, Bing SEO (or DEO, as it were) and WP 2.8 Update
A few things, first I’m back on Facebook again, this time (i suspect) for good. Find me at facebook.com/wesunruh and don’t be surprised I’m listed in Portland, OR – I’d like to live there someday and figured that might help. Social optimization is an integration approach to restructuring society. Social optimization through media can be a powerful facilitator of social change in a society.
I’ve been pondering feedback loops and master mind groups. Watching this reminded me how important the catalyst is – everything needs a flashpoint to boil.
Before I get into the tips I’ve compiled for Bing SEO from a bit of preliminary google searches, I wanted to point out that I’ve just updated this blog to Wordpress 2.8 – and there’s a number of broken plug-ins and widgets. As such, I’ll try to find a theme that doesn’t look broken until I have a chance to suss the damage and make the adaptations.
With all that out of the way, here’s what I’ve been advising as of today regarding Bing.Com
Domain Age is Key – Bing appears to put a lot of stock into how long ago a domain was registered. So if you’re not Technoccult.com, convince whomever is sitting on an old domain to give it to you.
Text – The More The Better – Usually the amount of text on the page isn’t a huge factor. However, Bing appears to really like pages with 300+ words of text – this is vital.
Link Out – With google you’ve probably been highly selective about where you link, because outbound links may diminish Page Rank and “Link Juice” would be diluted, but on Bing linking out appears to be smiled upon, something I’ve always anticipated, and I expect Google will soon follow suit.
Titles. And More Titles – If you want to make it to the top of Bing, have a title that correlates to the subject at hand – a different one for every page. (Use Headspace2 while you’re at it if you’re running a wordpress blog.)
Of course, this is swiped from scanning all the other material out there on Bing vs Google SEO, so take a look at some of the experiments and go from there – I’m still poking about meownself.
