How to Index blog with bing

Submitting your blog to bing for indexing is easier than submitting your blog google but the draw back in that is bing takes longer time to get your pages indexed than google.

1) Go to this link.
2) Write your blog's name http://YOURBLOG'SNAME.blogspot.com/
3) Provide the capatcha and submit its done.
Q) Well now what about this thing ?
Ans) Here we go to step 4.

4) Select GREAT! SIGN ME UP.
5) Sign in this thing with your Hotmail's or live id.

6) Once you do that it asks for sitemap.

 http://YOURBLOG'SNAME.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml

copy and paste this written in bold in the provided space with your blog's name in it.


7) After this you will see a page asking for verification of ownership of your blog and giving you some options we would go for 2nd option in this case, that is copy and pasting this.                                  

 <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="101C01B6BA681D7DFA25F1F55362F81C" />                
in your HTML coding.

Imp note: copy this from the page you are on from option # 2 2nd line, as a ppossibility that may be it gives you a different code.

8) Select your blog which you want to index and go to template and then select Edit HTML which you can see bordered with red in this image.



9) select this and paste the code you have copied in 7th step in it like this the one bordered in red is the pasted code and then save this template.

 

10) Now on the bing's page press verify button.

11) Now what you see is the Dashboard providing information about your site and the status you see which say success is not about indexing but its about successfully submitting your site map.

This is what I my self had done and is now waiting for my blog to get indexed by bing, be patient as bing takes time to get pages indexed and if I am lacking somewhere please do guide me by commenting so others may get benefit of it.

How to Get Your Blog Indexed On Google in Next 24 Hours


I have seen this that there are many articles about the way of getting your blog indexed on Google but there are certain misconceptions about these things which I have encountered while getting my own blog indexed by Google. The procedure is like this as follows and one misconception which i faced is written in the end of this text.

1.       First step go to your blog setting then go to search preferences

2.    In search preferences go to customs robots.txt  




3.    Edit it and select yes as option space will occur for writing, paste this written in bold in it with your blog's name in the sitemap.


User-agent: Google
Disallow:

User-agent: *
Disallow:
Allow: /

In Blogspot it is done up till here

Note Extra stuff for interested readers:

This is to allow search engines to access your blog User-agent:* this is to allow all search engines to access your blog by putting * there and instead writing any particular name there like in the first line will allow only that search engine to visit your blog Disallow: /  if this “/” is put in it like this would disallow all search engines to visit your home page and so your blog is invisible to them, so thus if you want to block search engines to visit some part of your blog you can add that extension to it like Disallow: /b/  so now anything in your blog starting with this name "/b/" would be invisible to search engines. 

4.    Go to Google webmaster tools, if you are unaware of it search it on Google itself. Login in with your blogger’s email id and password.

5.    There you will see your blog’s name click on it.

6.   Go to optimization in the left hand side and then select sitemap under it.





Note: Extra stuff for interested readers.

As you can see there are two bars one red and another blue. Blue bar is for the number of submitted pages which you would see initially on your window and the red bar which will gradually appear after some time is for the pages indexed by the Google.

7.   On the top right side there is a button in red ADD/TEST SITEMAP press it. 



8.    In the space paste this written in bold exactly as it is.


atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500


Imp Note: this sitemap if for indexing maximum 500 pages.

9.    And then press submit sitemap. 


Important things which I observed:

There is no specific number of pages initially which are required for you to get your blog indexed, as can be seen from the image that I have only indexed by home page, as this is the initial stage for my blogging and the next thing is that don’t make great changes to your blog appearance once submitted this may delay your blog getting indexed, it's my personal experience as my friend’s blog get indexed one day before mine though I have submitted sitemap a day before him and if still your blog does not get indexed after one whole day then you should resubmit your sitemap do sign out  (if you haven’t done that when submitting sitemap) and then sign in again just precautionary.
