Guide to getting indexed into bing

I have seen a lot of threads about getting indexed into bing so I thought I would give a guide for people who need help trying to rank on bing.

So similar to google bing has its own webmaster tools that you can check out here.

Its pretty much the same as googles webmaster tools as you add your website and check rankings, indexed pages, backlinks etc.

Now if your looking for bing keywords that you want to rank for Microsoft has also added a similar feature like google's keyword tool.

Being able to use the webmaster toolbox, and keyword tools is going to help any website owner in order to rank for keywords and make money. I hope this short guide has helped.

 

submit your website URL in to Bing Webmaster tool and add sitemap

 

I use an XML sitemaps plugin for my blog. Thing is, I didn't try to optimize for Bing, but half of my hits are from there.

 

Just get a few links to your website and you will be indexed. No need to submit anything.

 

Yeah Trent I agree, you just need a couple of links and you would be indexed. I think you should worry about google and bing will come without any further efforts.

 

to get your link index quickly is you can bookmark your site, use something like rapid indexer or ping your website

 

Bookmarking a site helps it to get indexed?

 

Creating a bit more social reputation will help you to get higher rank in BING as well as it will index you more faster. BING is quite slow system they only checks the very new thing only so be creative and unique always...

 

I was going to ask the same question.
Makes it difference if I have some nofollow links or I should make some follow-ones to get listed?

 

Bing is not high enough to warrant any special treatment, but YMMV.

 

Thank you all for your valuable insights.
