Many of new bloggers have a blog spot blog. And they are worried about their blogs' indexing in various Search Engines. You have to add your blog and submit a sitemap to Google, as well as Bing Webmaster Tools. Being Indexed in various Search Engine will help you to increase traffic to your site.
Today, I am going to discuss about submitting a sitemap to Bing Webmaster Tool.
How to Add a Site and Submit a Sitemap to Bing:
You need a Microsoft Account to submit your sitemap in Bing. If you don't have a Microsoft account (that means Hotmail), you have to create a "Hotmail Account".
Now please, follow the steps:
- Go to Bing Webmaster Tool.
- Sign In with your Hotmail account.
- In the new page: Just click on "ADD YOUR SITE". Here's a screenshot:
- A new page- About My Website is opened. In the box of URL- Paste your Homepage URL.
- Now, copy the code given below. Replace "Your Blog Domain" by your homepage URL.
http://www.YOUR BLOG DOMAIN/atom.xml?
redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
- Paste it in the box of Add a Sitemap. Then, click- ADD.
- In the next page: You will be asked to verify ownership for your site. There are 3 options to verify.
- Choose- "Option 2: Copy and paste a <meta> tag in your default webpage.
- Here's a code just like as given below:
<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
- Copy the code. Don't close this window. Here's a screenshot:
- Now, go to your Blogger Dashboard>Template>Edit Template.
- Your sites' HTML editor is opened. Find: <head> (by pressing Ctrl+F).
- Now, Paste the code (which you copied from Bing) under the <head>
- Then, Save Template.
- Back to your Bing Webmaster window. Here, you'll find the button "Verify" at the bottom of the page. Click on - "Verify".
- If you have more than 500 posts, you will need to submit another sitemap. To do this: click on "Submit a Sitemap". Copy the code given below (as you need) and paste in the box. Then, Submit.
For Posts between: 501 – 1000
For Posts between: 1001 – 1500
http://www.YourBlogDomain.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
http://www.YourBlogDomain.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1001&max-results=500
Congratulations, You have successfully added your site and submit a sitemap to Bing. Bing will verify your site and start indexing within short time. Basically, it takes almost 7 days to show data of your new site. So, be patient.
Increase Indexing in Bing:
Sometimes, you need to ping to Bing. Ping means to inform Search Engines about your blog links. It should be done only when you'll notice that, your new blog posts don't get indexed in time by Search Engines. But, don't do it more and more. You can do this for once just after your blog submission.
To Ping, just follow the steps:
- Copy the link given below (If you have posts only less than 500, then, just copy the 1st link). Replace "Your Blog Domain" by your homepage URL. Paste the link in your browsers' address bar and press "Enter".
