Amazingly enough I didn't get to number 1 in Google without following these tips! What i'm really trying to figure out is why there is such a discrepancy between the two engines, when I'm already using generally very good SEO practice.

I certainly know what you mean, but Bing is making more and more headway on Google, and I really like the idea of widening my traffic sources.

Hi! I run a website covering local bars, restaurants, tourism guides and so on in my city. It's been going for about a year and a half, and currently has maybe 60 pages of genuinely good quality content (ie not spammy), and everything is generally quite heavily shared, with lots of images etc etc. Now, if you search for things like "best pubs in Glasgow", "best bars Glasgow city centre" and all of that, my site is regularly 1st or 2nd in Google, and as a result gets about 15,000 pageviews of traffic a month from Google alone. However, if you search for similar in Bing, it's nowhere to be found! If you do a site: search I can see that all of these articles have been indexed but it's just not ranking remotely well. Any ideas on how I can get up there a bit? And I wonder why there's such a discrepancy? I've signed up for bing webmaster tools, sent them my sitemap and so on, but I'm not seeing any improvement whatsoever. Appreciate any tips or ideas! Edit: Just to give a specific example, if you search "best pubs in glasgow" in Google, my site is consistently 1st and has been for at least 6 months. In Bing it's 34th!! I would hope for/expect at least bottom half of page 1.

Hi! Just joined this forum this evening after stumbling across it through Google. I used to frequent a few web design/dev forums a couple of years ago and always enjoyed and wanted to get back into it. The main one I used in the past was CodingForums which has now, unfortunately, fallen into almost complete inactivity so thought it was time to try something new! I'm based in Glasgow, work as a full time Web Designer and also do a fair bit of freelance work. I'm towards the beginning of my career so still have a lot to learn in both design and development but it's something I love doing and look forward to getting involved in these forums over time. Nice to see there are good, active support forums but also a bit of community with the more general boards. See you around!

I've just moved to TSOHost a few weeks ago having been on a VPS with a random company based in India for the last couple of years. Couldn't be happier with TSO so far, paying just £5 a month for an only slightly slower service than I was previously paying £40 for, and the uptime has truly been 100% so far. It's "cloud hosting" too, so it feels quite cutting edge and future-proof, and they have a really nice bespoke control panel which makes it super easy to manage all your domains, sites, email accounts and so on. Customer service has been a bit abrupt (bordering on rude) on the few times I had to contact them in the first couple of days as I was having problems with the migration of my sites, but I've experienced this with most tech support in my time so I just kind of ignore it and as long as they fix the issues (which they have done so far) I don't really mind!

In my opinion Web Development is the most descriptive term for the whole process (i.e. of developing a website) and within this bracket comes, more specifically, design, development, user experience, etc. Personally my official job title is "Web Designer", however the majority of my role is more on the development side of things at the moment. I voted 50/50 though as I do a bit of everything on a day to day a basis.

Hi there I'm sure this is pretty simple, but I can't figure it out. I've used jQuery and bootstrap in the past to create nice navbars which collapse down to a burger menu drop down. More recently I've used jQuery mobile to create nice mobile app-looking websites with slideout sidebar menus. What I'm trying to figure out is how I can combine these two techniques in one site? So that I start out with a normal navigation bar along the top, but when the browser window is resized or it's accessed by mobile, my nav can be slid out from the side of the page? Obviously I could just have two different navigations in the html and hide/display as needed, but that's not very elegant. I'm looking to have the nav code once, and modify it with css/jQuery depending on the viewport size. Thanks very much for any advice you can give! Would prefer to figure out how to actually code this myself, so if anyone has a link to an in-depth tutorial on doing this (must be out there somewhere) that would be awesome, but even a plugin/framework which can do this effectively would be interesting to see.
