Page 2 on Bing, page 76 on google

Sandox is a myth .... But anyways ... Maybe google has more competition in it than bing. But hey if you got on page 2 of bing then great, now duplicate it over and over with other keywords and domains.

Yeah...let us know what sort of traffic you get from Bing, and hopefully they convert as well as I used to hear MSN did.

I have the opposite effect. I am good ranking with google with page 2 and 3 rankings but havent even been indexed by bing nor yahoo. I have followed the steps by making webmaster accounts but no luck. Have been waiting for 4-5 months but no luck. With google i got indexed within a week.
lol. whats going on. :S my site: Antenna Installation Sydney | Allied Antennas | TV Aerial | Home Theatre

Thanks

I'm confused. You're not ranking in Google, or you're not indexed in Google? If your URL is not showing up in Google (Just google the entire URL) then simply digg your site/page and then add your url using free google submit.

the short answers is different se's have different algo's thus different results. however, competition could be a factor as well as james pointed out

If the keyword in question is for medical or aging, you don't care about Google anyway. Bing converts much higher of the older (54-80) demographic as that is what they grew up on.

Yahoo converts better for the 45-55 demographic and the affluent.

Google has massive traffic, but remember, most disposable income is controlled by under 20% of the population, much of which does not use Google! If you are selling stuff with wide apeal or cheap, Google is a player. Otherwise it's 'power' to actually convert is questionable.

If you have a product or service over $25, track where the sales come from, in many niches even though most of the traffic comes from Google, the converting traffic comes from elsewhere.

High tech and a young demographic, then yes target your SE efforts to Google, but test your niche, you may be surprised. (Have had an adwords account with a CTR of 1.4% (which is low to me) and a 1% conversion to sale which at Bing had a 9+% CTR and 8% conversation. This is the thyroid field which is 60-80 yr old ladies for the main demographic & a $6,000 no insurance product with an 80% profit so even the Google traffic had a good ROI, but Bing blew them away.)

I think it just comes down to different algorithms. If the site is just a week old, it's most likely going to be bouncing around for a little a while, anyways. A week from now you may see it ranked higher in Google than in Bing.

Also, backlinks aren't treated the same between both search engines. A backlink from one particular site may mean a lot more to Google than Bing and vice versa. Each search engine just has different parameters.
