Bing.com is slowly gaining more and more of the web search market with their aggressive advertisements and promotions. Although the searches that take place on Bing are drastically less than Google, Bing has an increasing user base and for website owners you shouldn’t focus on just one search engine.

The best way to get Bing to notice your website is to submit it to them. It’s quite a simple process and you simply have to point your web browser to http://www.bing.com/docs/submit.aspx and submit your site. Pretty simple. Bing also has their own version of Webmaster Tools, once you add and verify your site (http://www.bing.com/webmaster) you will be able to see how often the Bing spider crawls your page and you’ll be able to view other important analytic data.

You won’t get listed in the results unless Google knows about your site, something that happens when Google visits your website and indexes it. Basically when Google indexes your website a copy of the website is recorded into Google’s servers.

A common occurrence for new webmasters is to get frustrated when Google fails to visit and index their newly created website. They will shout and curse and fume till they are red in the face and still Google doesn’t visit. They are forgetting about two simple steps to get their site indexed by Google.

  • Sign up for Google’s Webmaster Tools. It’s a free service and is easy to get started using. Once your website has been verified within Webmaster Tools, simply submit your sitemap (if you haven’t created one yet now’s the time to do it, there are many free sitemap generators online). Your sitemap is basically a list of the pages and categories of your website.
  • Within Google’s Webmaster Tools you are also able to ’suggest’ a rate at which Google crawls (visits) your website, if you want Google to visit frequently, select that option from within the ‘Settings’ section.

Use these two very basic steps to get a Google to visit and index your site. A lot of new (and some old) webmasters forget about this simple but effective method.
