Your company obviously optimizes your Web pages for peak Google performance. But there's a catch: Not everyone searches on Google. And there's a complication: Bing and Yahoo use their own algorithm to rank pages in a user's SERP.

• Domain age. "Bing puts more emphasis on domain age than Google," she notes. "If you have an older domain, you're already on your way! That was easy, right?"
• Titles. Bing also puts a greater emphasis on title tags; be sure your title includes your keyword.
• Flash. While Google is fairly hostile to Flash, Bing doesn't mind, and a Flash-heavy site should perform well.
