Domain name is one of the main fact and also keyword implementation in to page description is also important thing.

Here's an example. Take a look at this guy, he's # 5 for the search term 'architectural renderings':

http://www.architecturalrenderings.com/

Here's the actual search parameter/landing page:

http://www.bing.com/search?q=architectural+renderings&go=&form=QBRE&qs=n

It's a doorway page with the search term stuffed in the domain name. The page is not useful but used to completely bait search engines and redirect traffic.

This practice needs to be effectively stopped. I think Bing has a lot of potential, you really need to fix the overemphasis on domain name relevance.

Luke, I also see you have keywords for a domain name as well.

If your page is 'relevant' to your topic, then you should keep your position based on the usefulness of what you do. However, if your page is misleading or poorly constructed, you should not be rewarded for that.

i see where you are coming from cleo, i have notriced this too with a few websites and hope bing may do something about it.

Luke, it appears you edited your post. Before, you more or less told me "too bad." But maybe that was my imagination...

Agreed. It'd be great if bing took the lead on demoting some of these ugly / black hat / doorway / form pages.

Sent to spam team for review :)

Apologies Brett I deleted my post - I didn't realize you work for the development team - or do you?

When I mentioned too much emphasis on domain names and when you mentioned it was being sent to spam, did you mean the fact that there's a lot of weight being put on these domains was getting noted?

I work for the Webmaster team as the community outreach manager. What that means for the forums is that I assist webmasters with their issues and I am a liaison to other teams within Bing. In this instance, I reported the site because I think you are right about that site. For the future, you can report spam sites using the feedback link located at the bottom right corner of the SERP page. We are making some fairly large changes to quite a bit of our backend--most of which I cannot go into right now. But stay tuned for a better experience.

So in other words without saying things directly, expect some pretty nice changes?

Looking forward to it.

I (and I think the community would to be fair) would especially look forward to some visibly clear rules regarding 'what not to do' - ie. cloaked pages, hidden text, overly spammy keyword usage, doorway pages, etc.

I hate to constantly compare back to Google, but they have a fairly obvious place to report spam and paid links, etc.

I went looking for the 'spam' link you mentioned in the SERP lower-right hand corner and don't see anything.

Thanks for sending this to spam team for review. But this sort of indexing of Bing needs to be changed; Bing should look at content of the site, not the URL name.  A site may have content much greater or even different than the URL.  Besides, search engines make having relevant URL names obsolete!
