I accept that bing is slower than google but they are not that slow and they index my pages within a week even without a sitemap and submission to bing. But as I can see aswats bing spends much more time and index much more pages that google. I think they need to optimise their crawlers to be more efficient.
Yeah The Social Bookmarking Submissions works quite well for me. It makes your blog attracted by Google bots by those submissions.
Maybe Bing have other algorithm so it will give different result... include very long time to be indexed... Is it strategy of Microsoft to give better result??
if your site is submited to google yahoo and this search engines find your site = your site is indexed and than bing will see your site
An older domain is rumored to help a lot. Get links to not only your homepage, but your important internal pages too (top-level navigation pages, etc). If your homepage isn't even indexed, add your URL to this thread -> http://www.bing.com/community/forums/t/651406.aspx.
Bing is not only slowe(st)r, but repeatedly dumps index including those of big, well established ( old - years, and well linked - hundreds of thousands of links ! ) sites, and not for a bad practices, for sure. The only good thing that bing has are the background images, ever so far.
In my experience, it will take approx. 1 month before full indexing by Bing. I'm not sure exactly why it takes as long as it does...
Wow bing is slow, slow slow. The site linked in my sig has thousands and thousands of urls in google but nothing at all in bing. Not a single page. Even though the bing webmaster tools report about 2,000 backlinks for the site. I just can't see them ever being able to actually compete with the big G until they get their act together and speed things up.
