Submit Blogger Sitemap to Bing and Yahoo without Errors
Submit Blogger Sitemap to Bing and Yahoo without Errors
Sitemap submission to Yahoo was previously done using Yahoo Site Explorer
but just last year on 21 Nov 2011 Yahoo completed algorithmic
transition to Bing. Yahoo merged site explorer into Bing Webmaster
Tools with a partnership contract. From then onwards webmasters were
requested to submit sitemaps to Bing in order to expect quality traffic
from both yahoo and Bing. Site Explorer was launched in 2005 by Tim
Mayer and it was a pretty handy tool to keep a close watch on how your
site was performing at yahoo search engine. You could get detailed info
on how many sites were linking you and could also count the total number
of internal links within your site. But since now Yahoo has joined
hands with Bing search engine by Microsoft, our job becomes even more
easy, because submitting your blog at Bing will set it live at two
search engines, i.e. both Bing and yahoo. Previously MSN did not
required sitemap and you only needed to submit your link to them by
pinging them but with the replacement of MSN search engine by latest
BING, Microsoft is now openly following Google's footsteps.
Submit Your Blog URL To BING and YAHOO
Follow these easy steps:
- Log into Bing Webmaster Tools using your hotmail account
- Once logged in you will see a dashboard with several options. Click the button " Add Site" next to "Remove site button".
4. You will be given a short HTML code. Simply copy it and paste the
code just below <head> inside your blogger template. To do this
go to:
- Blogger > Design > Edit HTML > Backup your template
- Search for <head>
- Just below it paste the code you got from BING
- Save your template. All done!
6. Normally it should take at most 3 days for BING and YAHOO to start showing data for your newly submitted site but it can even take 5 days. So be patient and expect your blog links appearing in BING and YAHOO search engines within 3-5 days.
Ping Yahoo and Bing
Sometimes you want to inform about a quick update at your blog to Bing and Yahoo, so that they may send crawlers to index your newly added content before time. Don't ping search engines too frequently for it can be taken as overloading the servers which can even get you penalized from search listings. Do it only when you feel that your links are not appearing at Yahoo and Bing page.Just after blog submission you may also ping the search engines to draw more attention.
Do this:
- From the links below , replace www.blogg-tricks.blogspot.com with your blogspot links or custom domain links. (Example: zailab.blogspot.com or www.zailab.com)
- Paste the following links in your browser address bar one at a time and hit enter. You will see a message "Thanks for submitting your sitemap." indicating that you have successfully pinged Bing.
