Title: have you submitted site map to bing?
Post by: picture5469 on August 17, 2013, 02:49

I think we have all submitted site maps to google, but have you submitted to bing?
This covers bing and yahoo search engine. Before I submitted my site map this morning, bing had only found about 10% of my site in 2 months.
If the engines dont know we exist then no one will find us.
Kind regards
Mark

Did you do that through a Bing webmaster tool?  I couldn't find any of my stuff on Bing the other day (I just checked and they still don't) though Yoast says that they ping Bing as well as Google.

I'll look for the Bing webmaster tool and do the same.

Looking around in their today it doesn't have any blocked url's like it does on Google i.e. block from being indexed.

I found the area and blocked the same urls that are blocked on Google.  I had to enter them manually as it wasn't already blocked like Google did.
