How to add your Blog to Bing?

0 comments
Bing
Bing (formerly Live Search, Windows Live Search and MSN Search) is a web search engine by Microsoft. Bing allows webmasters to manage the web crawling status of their own websites through Bing Webmaster Center. Use the webmaster tools to troubleshoot the crawling and indexing of your blog, submit sitemaps and view statistics about your blogs.
To use webmaster tools, go to Bing Webmaster Center and sign in to use the tools. Click on Add a site and submit your blog URL with site map address. Example:
Web address: http://myblog.blogspot.com/
Sitemap address: http://myblog.blospot.com/atom.xml or http://myblog.blogspot.com/rss.xml
Provide webmaster email if you want and click on Submit button. They need to verify that you are true owner of submitted site. Copy given meta tag and paste it into head section of your blog by going to Dashboard > Layout > Edit HTML. Meta tag should be like 
<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="238F066602818D0FA23E2B1D371E076A" />
and put it somewhere after <head>.
Save the template and return to site list in Bing webmaster tools.
Click on your blog in site list to see statistics if it is already indexed by Bing. If there is no data available then you have to wait for a few days till MSNBot (the Bing web crawler) scans and indexes contents of your blog.
