How to get your website found in Bing

Bing has been going for two months, and here's what I've found analysing my own sites and those of others:

1. Bing doesn't like blogspot - not even blogs over 3 years old with decent pagerank on Google (pagerank 4) and about 20,000 backlinks according to Yahoo's siteexplorer. You will find some blogspots in Bing's results - but buried deep eg on page 6 or higher. There are exceptions - some blogs with a serious amount of high quality backlinks feature on Bing's first page, but if you are an ordinary blogger with an average amount of backlinks, you will struggle.

2. Squidoo lenses - the only lens I've got which has had a hit from Bing is one that has a Google pagerank of 3 (i.e. it has decent backlinks) and the hits were paltry - didn't make double figures in a month. Again it is in Bing's index, but buried deep.

3. Hubpages. This has been my biggest success on Bing. Am getting a regular stream of hits on one hub, which is a Google pagerank 3 (i.e. decent backlinks), and fewer hits on other hubs that are in niches that don't have much materia/competition, and also hubs that have outgoing links to authority sites (such as the Financial Times). Bing seems to approve of authority outgoing links.

Haven't found many Wordpress blogs in Bing either. I don't think Bing likes blogs, they seem to prefer static websites, possibly because it's easier for their bot to crawl.

Have also found a neat tool called Bingle, which displays Google and Bing results side by side for whichever keyword you enter. It's certainly an eye-opener - they both display relevant results, but they choose very different pages. Read Full Article;

Ever Look Back And Wonder How You Got Where You Are Today? Ever take stock of your life, look back and wonder how you got where you are today... wondering if you took a left instead of that right at the fork in the road, how things might be different? For me -- looking back -- money was a factor very early on, beginning right after college.

You see, when I finished with school I was left with over $35,000 in college tuition loans that needed repaying...Plus I had 5 credit cards, all maxed out, and all hot on my ass to make sure I paid my monthly minimums... not to mention rent and all the other crap you have to pay just to live.And yet -- nobody wanted to hire me, so my debts loomed LARGE in my mind -- always.As you might imagine, there were simply no good companies looking to hire a 27-year old college dropout.

Yes, in retrospect it probably wasn't the best way to go -- but like tens of thousands of other college kids, I was not really thinking too hard about my future while in school...A Small Classified Ad Changed My Life -- Changed Me -- In Ways I Wouldn't Wish On Anyone, Including My Worst Enemy...
