Ironically I had just finished publishing a blog post (http://jeffmould.blogspot.com http://jeffmould.blogspot.com) on why I don't think Bing is quite there yet. Their engine appears to have a bug somewhere that doesn't index sites unless you have numerous backlinks to your site. While some may not consider this a bug, it makes it difficult for the little players (myself being one) to be included in a real time search engine. Google on the other hand had indexed my blog post within 30 minutes of me posting it.
- jojopotato 17y agoNot saying that Bing is all that great, but it might have made a difference that you are also posting on a Google owned website.
- jeffmould 17y agoUnderstand that, but my other blog (http://www.jeffmould.com http://www.jeffmould.com) has not been indexed either. Ironically, the Program Manager for Bing's Webmaster Central acknowledges there is an issue ina thread he created on their forums. He is working with site owners to get their sites in the Bing engine. From what I understand from reading his responses and looking at other threads is that Bing only naturally indexes sites that have numerous backlinks already in place. The mystery is exactly how many backlinks they are looking for before indexing the site.
