Bing is Bung

I recently set up a website, and had it optimised. Within a couple of days Google was able to find the site. 5 weeks on I still am not receiving any search results in Bing. There are no broken links etc.

I have posted the site details on Bing! official discussion site. 5 hours later when I Google one of my keywords "locum pharmacist" Google finds the site and the discussion on the Bing! forum. Bing! still doesn't index either.

 

Maybe it's just sleepy? Did you do a submission to speed things along?

 

Yes I did the submission process for Bing as well as Google on the same day.

 

Sometimes it just takes awhile for bing to pick up your website.

 

Bing just took a lot longer than google for my websites but on the bright side I rank 1st page BING for my keywords but Google has those same key words in the 50-60s

 

even if your site gets into the bing, you may not expect great traffic from bing ... its really bung ...

 

Bing takes longer than the other search engines to index new pages.

 

Bing is SLOW SLOW SLOW. Slow traffic, slow indexing and slow loading. Also, is it just me or does everyone else thing their 'Smart' results are crap... I can't find anything on that engine!!

 

I rank #2 in both Yahoo and BING for one keyword and 50-60 in google
and get ZERO traffic from both yahoo and bing off that keyword


99.9999% of people obviously use google so whats the point in even being indexed in bing-- I have no clue.

 

I have the same problem op. Thats why I focus mainly on Google. I also rank high on these other SE and get very little traffic from them.

 

I have a site that's 5 month old and its still not showing up on their search. I gave up and just concentrate on Google & yahoo.

 

on a keyword search, or at all (again, presuming you submitted http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx)

 

Yeah, I posted on their forum and got a response that I wasn't penalized or anything and I needed more backlinks, but I had like 300 backlinks already. It wasn't the keyword, it was my site, it wasn't in there. That's why I gave up, and hopefully one day it'll be there when I check.

 

IMO, bing is a very good search engine, very surprising for MSoft.

 

But it's there now, right (if it's the 69... listed in your profile) ... ?

Bing is not picking up or crawl the site. No one can compare on Google bot because it is always quick on picking up and crawling the site. I think you'll need a bing webmaster account if you don't have it yet.

 

You are right, me too faced the same problem with my site. Bing is really lazy one.

 

Dont worry bing took 40 days to track my site. Yours still new.

 

Bing ain't too bad for a Microsoft Service. But what does matter is that ranking is a little better than Google.
