Is Bing still useful for SEO?

Shole · Dec 10, 2015

As we all know Google is the god at the moment, so with that is Bing, the search engine that's I think worse off than Yahoo, worth for seo anymore?
I am thinking of trying to use it for my sites, but so far I can't tell if it's worth investing my time in it. Any tips or suggestions?

Serious question.

How do you invest your time in Bing? What exactly do you think you are going to do differently as compared to trying to rank in Google?

What different directories? There are not Bing specific directories.

Using Bing's webmaster tools won't make a difference.

Yes, they are different search engines and they rank sites differently.

My point was that there is not some magic ranking formula for Bing versus Google, although most will agree that Bing is not as good at detecting spam. Spam might rank you well in Bing, but that you will get raped by Google, so that doesn't do much good.

Not sure about SEO but bing + affiliate or own product + money that's sure

Bing is very much valuable. I optimized a site of mine for bing and I am getting decent traffic from them. Those that are into affiliate marketing and cpc ads would understand what I mean when I said Bing is very much valuable. They bring targeted traffic at a cost lower to what Google ads offers.

As far as SEO is concerned. Don't be surprised to hear that EMD still works on bing. So if you have a good keyword, buy the emd and optimize it for bing. You would be getting organic traffic in days.

Bing, like Yahoo, has never sent even near as much traffic with the same ranks as Google. Doubt that's going to change much any time soon.

Bing works on only old sites..

I would say, submit your website on bing and check the results. I get good traffic on my blog from bing as well.
