Bing Webmaster Tools Can You Rank ?

So, What's on my mind today. As you can tell from the title, today I want to talk a little about Bing Webmaster Tools

Right, after completing my premium training (that thoroughly enjoyed) I just recently implemented the Bing Webmaster Tools in addition to the google webmaster tools I had already setup.

Now, I have the 2 biggies indexing my site in search results. About a week passed by when I got all setup on Bing (which was deliberate), as I wanted to give Bing chance to crawl and index my site

1 Week After Setup - This Happened...

I just went into Bing Webmaster tools to submit my url for today's post to alert Bing to crawl and index my new post. After completing all those steps and noticing a little data had appeared in my dashboard, I thought now would be a good chance to check on whether my site was featuring in search results.


Guess What I found ?

I was over the moon to say the least.

7,420,000 RESULTS - This was the amount of search results returned as a broad match search on Bing for my website's url which is of course my main niche keyword.

Much to my Amazement I saw my site sitting in 5th place on the 1st page, YEAH 1ST PAGE

Now I know that the BIG G is the one we need to be on page 1 for mainly, but Bing does still get search traffic and people using it, so this was a success as far as I was concerned.

Bearing in mind Bing only knew my site existed a week ago. Next Result was...

19,400 RESULTS - This was the amount of Exact match search results returned for my website url using " "

Again i was thrilled to see that my website, that Bing only found out about a week ago, was sitting in 4th place on 1ST PAGE!! Outstanding !!!


What about Yahoo ?

You probably know this already if your in the training but just in case your not. When you use Bing Webmaster tools to get your sites indexed, they appear in Bing but also will appear on Yahoo Search Results.

So I went ahead and carried out the same searches on Yahoo.

And....

For the broad search term of my website url - I was sitting in position 10 of 15 on the 1ST PAGE

For the Exact Match using " " around my website url - once you scroll past the ads related stuff - My site was sitting in Position 2 on the 1ST PAGE - Only to be beaten to 1st spot by 'Wikipedia' Incredible !!!


Can You Really Get Ranked Using Bing Webmaster Tools ?

You already know the answer to this one but I wanted to put this here anyway, just to reiterate using Bing Webmaster Tools, as well as Google Webmaster tools, to give your sites the best possible coverage on the big ol' WWW.

If you haven't set it up yet you may as well. Nothing to lose, it's free to do and you will get your sites ranked if your keyword research has been good when you set your sites up. So....

Make sure you dont forget to get "YOUR BING ON" as well as using Google....to index your website, posts and pages.

Cheers WA

Get more idea about using Bing tool, Thank you, Damian.

no problem at all amgolf, glad you like the post I would deffo use Bing as well as google webmaster tools. Using both will give your site a lot f exposure, as long as the keyword research phase was done right. Keep up the good work !!

Nice work.

Appreciate the kind words hope all is well with your site creation too M

That must feel good.

It's true it was very satisfying. Although the search traffic wont be huge to start with being in that position means any traffic that is going to come will most likely find my site with it being well placed on the 1st Page
