Microsoft has published a document that guides webmasters on a path that will help them SEO there site, specifically for the Bing search engine.
It’s only 24 pages, and is large type with lots of images and graphics, so it’s really an easy read. It’s not what I’d consider a technical document, but does outline some of the basic practices that webmasters need to consider when designing sites and optimizing them for search engines.
One nice thing is that it goes a little bit about how the Bing search engine handles Adobe Flash sites, and its ability to locate “skip flash intro” links.
But a bad thing that I didn’t like, was that Microsoft is putting their own meta tags into the Bing search engine, so we’re getting away from website standards again. They have a “nopreview” tag, that for all intents and purposes is the same as the “noindex” tag.
Read the Microsoft Bing New Features for Webmasters document, and tell me your thoughts.
