Why the HELL doesn't Bing index new articles?

Hi,

Do you guys have a site that you're writing a post to every day?

If so, is Bing indexing your newer posts? I have a news/trend related site that relies on being indexed fast.

MSN Search used to be a better traffic source for me than Yahoo (but not Google), but after they switched to Bing, it hasn't indexed a SINGLE of my new posts.

What's bugging me is, MSNbot always crawls my site, but always crawls the old posts. It always crawls the same, same, same old posts, never touches the newer ones.

What's your take on this?

 

You think the site might be overwhelmed with all the information?

 

just give it some time Bing just got out, but if you care about indexing quick then rely on google.

 

Cos Bing is not as competent yet as Master G.

 

The reason is:
Because it's Microsoft.


Expensive products, that don't work worth Bing!

 

so no one actually has any idea?

 

Yeah i think they will spider the newer ones over time. They are probably sort catching up. It takes an awful lot of resources to spider the whole web. Google has thousands of computers to do so

 

That should should be Microsoft's new slogan.

 

I'm getting good traffic from bing

 

I'm in the same boat. MSN bot is on my site almost every day yet no pages indexed.

 

they are starting to catch up with my newer post,so it wont be long

 

Bing's crawling my new posts just fine.

 

rotalihinna, it could be an issue of improper interlinking (or maybe no interlinking at all). What I have found useful for older blogs I ran was to interlink related posts even if they were much older. This way when an old blog post was crawled it would also pick up the interlinked new blog post (if related I put it there after the fact). This isn't a 100% guarantee of being crawled but helps a great deal. Also, if you really really need your posts indexed fast you can always do your best to get them circulated by social bookmarking sites which are usually heavily indexed thoroughly. Outside of that, links to the actual page might get the job done.

 

Hi there, thanks for your answer,

Well, each old page they re-index has links to my newer pages; because at each page there is a "Recent Posts" thing with links to my newest posts. I checked the HTML manually to see if they were nofollow or noindex or something, but they're not, they're plain good links.

About the social bookmarking issue; I think MSN Search used to index my articles really fast (in 30 mins or 1 hour) because I bookmarked my new articles through Digg, which MSN Search indexed in minutes and followed through my site.

What's changed with Bing is that, now Bing doesn't index ANY Digg page without a somewhat solid (6, 7 or more) count of Diggs. When it was MSN search, it indexed all Digg pages, be it 1-Digg or 10 Diggs.

 

bing takes it time indexing new articles just relax

 

Maybe since its new its got large amount of index request

 

simple , because bing sux xD , bing is anti seo.
