Hi Everyone, I want to know about bing crawling and indexing process...Actually, I have a domain and I want to promote that domain in Bing only and I have created Bing webmaster account and verified that domain in Bing as well and I have done all the things 10 days before but still not a single pages crawl and index by Bing. Only showing this message some error what happening is going on with this I am not able to track...can any Bing expert help me...? Looking forward positive reply. Thanks in Advance.
Just recently (in January 2020), I ran a test on bing indexing. 1. Created a brand new wordpress.com site with only homepage. 2. Added site to bing webmaster tool. 3. Submitted the page, ran mobile test and a seo test. 4. Less than an hour later the page is re-crawled. Did this a few times and every time bing re-indexed the page within 1 hour.
To be honest, I failed the test. The point of the test was to force bing to index the links in the post (maybe, I went overboard as I included like 90 links in one post). So bing bot came and re-indexed the posts after those steps, every single time... but the problem is that bing bot didn't follow to index those links in the post. I really don't understand why people still complain about bing bot as I managed to get bing crawl/re-crawl the brand new page. Some time in 2019 MS announced that bing would be crawling less to save money and would rely more on bing webmaster tool.
On my existing websites, bing and google bots are coming almost at the same time. The difference is that my updated title/description gets updated in bing results sooner than it does in google results. Also, if both bing and google find the same page relevant from my website, and decide to include it in search results, then too bing starts displaying that page in results sooner than google does.
