Should one Submit their site to Bing?

    I'm getting great traffic from Google but would like to see my traffic increase even more with the other competing search engines out there. Would it be worth my while to submit my site to Bing? This could go for Yahoo as well but since we are in the MS forums....

    Yes, you have to submit. It is not as good as Google so better to add.

    With all the ad time Bing is getting on TV and such I imagine there are lots of people using it.
    Specially newbs and that's even better.

    Bing is an awful search engine, but to answer your question it's best to let Bing find your site naturally instead of submitting (same goes for most search engines)

    Don't bother submitting to any search engines, just implement the very basic of SEO techniques and search engines will pick up your website themselves.

    Bing never hurts but it's a small percentage of overall traffic. If you have a sitemap, I'd make sure to ping Bing as well.

    The only question here is "Why haven't you already?"

    If your website is good enough and has enough quality backlinks then it will be picked up by every searchengine. Manually submitting is not more required these days, it is still possible yes but not needed. The spiders of the searchengines just follow the tracks of the backlinks thats how it works these days.
