Difference between Bing and Google?

[samruba]

Is there any difference between promoting web site in google and bing ?

I Think no one will share this one, rather no has any proper proof for this.

From what I understand, Google looks at backlinks (offpage) while Yahoo and Bing look at content and onpage SEO

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes I agree with you. Google seems to be moving towards off-page while Yahoo is more inclined towards on-page factors.

However, Bing seems to be using a combination of both Off-Page as well as On-Page factors. If your website is perfectly optimized and you do not have good back links then it will have little chance to appear on top of Bing.

I think personally that Bing is becoming more and more like Google as people used to report rubish results from MSN search. I think Bing which is new is trying to copy Google now to present better results to the end user.
As for Yahoo? God only knows what they are up to. They seem less informational and more shopping and spending.
Just my two cents worth.

yes i do agree. bing is refining itself on the path of google considering both onpage and off page factors. yahoo on the other hand only takes onpage factors into consideration.. and probably yahoo search will die with time

Obviously, they each have their own proprietary ranking algorithm. And therefore optimizing for each would require different techniques... or shifting the weights on your techniques depending on the engine being targeted.

Personally, I focus on Google and let Bing/Yahoo! rankings fall where they may because Google drives 70% of the search traffics to most sites that I promote.

yupp.... the sound reason states to focus only on google... but with google caffeine and Facebook's OGSE things are certainly going to change a lot

Just the opposite is the actual truth. As with less competitive keyword i have ranked many websites in google just using onpage where as they fail to grab the seats in yahoo and bing.

In the same way i have also seen that the site which i have done many submission without onpage ranked well in yahoo and bing but failed in Google.

I find bing very hard to rank in. Google is a lot better in finding the content I'm really looking for so without SEO in mind, I think it's a better search engine. With SEO in mind, I prefer google too because I feel I have more control on getting the ranking I'm after.

Offline page and online page has no connection about Yahoo, Google and Bing. They are all the ad sense where you can perform any search engines technique.

As per my perspective google give weightage as per domain age and off page work whereas yahoo and bing crawlers gives more emphasis on On page factors.

I believe Bing does not have a Sanbox, Google is more sensitive, more complex.

What I see is:

Google have a big competitor with Bing, their are doing a great job.
If you compare search result pages on both for the same keyword, you will see the quality of the results of bing, it´s high, google is still better in some fields, but bing is moving forward and going up and up.

Put it in perspective.
Global search market share:

Google & properties: 84.97%
Yahoo & properties: 5.99%
Bing:3.34%

When bing takes over most of yahoo search results, their share will jump but they're still a small player. I would like to see them compete with google, but they have a long way to go. Until these numbers start to change, google will remain the primary focus of most seos.

Ideally, if you wanted to optimize for bing you would create pages/sections of your site optimized for it, and other sections optimized for google. I can't give advice on bing optimization though as I have never really paid them (or yahoo) any attention.

This is a great reply, if you optimize a website and it is in the top ten on Google search results then it will automatically show up in a good position on Yahoo and Bing and most other search engines.
