SkiPatrolMovies.com and internet-Phone.org

I've been playing with Bing and a couple of websites, and for some reason it seams to be easier to get listings and traffic for a more sought after set of commercial words, than it is to get listed for a non commercial set that doesn't have much competition.

MSN, Live and, therefore, Bing, used to be easy to list for a keyword set if that set of keywords were also in the domain name. So, if you type in Ski Patrol Movies in Bing, MSN or Live, I should rank pretty good, but i'm only ranking 39th, and that's for a Gzipped copy of my sitemap... Go Figure.

But, if you grab the shorter, and more popular term, telephone service, and do a search on Bing, it comes up 12th. But, if you look at all of my Bing numbers, they are trending down, while Bing's searches are continuing to increase.... I wonder why?

It will be interesting to see what Bing does with long tail keywords like Pay Day Loan Companies or VoIP 800 Numbers.

Linking Programs and Bing

I'm thinking about testing out Ledger's 3 Way Linking Program to see if it will make any difference on my search engine standings in Bing. I know that the the system used to work for Google and MSN, but have never tried the system out specifically for Bing.

The system will let you use it on 50 domains and will bring in a total of 250 links per domain, with 3 different sets of anchor text, over a 60 day period. I would think it would work fine, as long as there isn't a noticeable footprint. I know guys who have used it to get some really nice long tail keyword positioning on Google, but I'm going to have to test it to see how it does on Bing.

I'll let you know...

SEO and Bing vs. SEO and the Old MSN

Is anyone noticing any big swings in search engine results since MSN switched over to the new Bing platform? In the old days, there were some pretty good, legitimate, exploits that could be used with MSN to get nice organic rankings, and some guys were writing programs, like the MSN Loophole, that would help webmasters get better organic placements. I don't know if the MSN loophole program has been updated to the Bing Search Engine Loophole System, but it would be awesome if it was, since the old system worked so well, and Bing has a lot more traffic than MSN did.
