Indexing Issue In Bing

[seoz87]

Its been observed that Bing usually has low indexing compare to yahoo and google cause of its crawler issue.
However there are websites that has more indexing in bing rather than Google.
for example see the indexing of target.com in bing and in google

So can any body comment over what can be the factors for high indexing in Bing?
Or what special thing is target.com is doing for such heavy indexing in bing?

Well, I do not think that there are any specific tips for bing in terms of ranking or indexing.

I am on the front page in google with all my pages indexed. Yahoo has 3 of my 15 pages indexed and bing has 0 pages indexed. Its been almost a month now.

I'll give you one hint:

Not exactly debra

I have already done some very hardcore research Here is some info that if ound

First we identified the factors that can be issue in indexing. These includes

1. Crawling Bot
2. Url Structure
3. Internal linking Structure
4. Content issue
5. Tables or div based
6. Page Size
7. Sitemap

Now MSN BOT is not as efficient as google bot but still it has crawled some websites very deep and indexed lot of pages. Here lot of pages means above 1 lacs. Stick to target .com it has 369 000 indexed pages in bing but in google it has 88200

Now it has dynamic url's so url structure issue isnt playing here. It doesnt has any sitemap so we can skip this too. The website is table based. so div preference assumptions is not working. content and internal linking structure also not playin some major role here. Page size is a big issue for bing but average page size is above 100 KB for target.com

So Now I am stuck with nothing in hand.

A little more analysis hint me that there can be some backlinks issue, however more extensive research is needed is needed for this.

Now if you or anybody would like to share there findings and experiments with bing indexing, I really appreciate it

regarding commercial hint, this research has been done on commercial sources. And a well indexed website in bing is also of commercial nature
