Bing Webmaster Tools is pretty much essential for any SEO analyst. Not all SEO optimizations carry over between Google and Bing and it's good to get up-front validation on crawl errors from the search engine itself. Bing Webmaster Tools is especially relevant now that Yahoo and Bing are under the same roof.

• It's also very scalable in some respects, particularly the availability of unlimited keyword tracking, which is preferable to certain solutions that charge by the keyword.
• There are also a number of other features in the product not directly related to the reporting of performance which some users will find useful.

We switched our rank tracking software from Raven Tools when they dropped rank tracking several years ago. We moved to AWR and realized how inaccurate Raven Tools was when it came to keyword rank tracking. Even when raven Tools added rank tracking back, we never switched back, AWR is more accurate and reliable as a keyword rank tracking tool.

Bing, which is free to use, is a good adjunct to our use of all these tools. If I had to stop using all but two, Bing and Google would be the ones that I would keep. Others have their place in our cycle based on what Google and Bing are reporting, but these are our early warning systems. Even if they don't offer the best way to a solution, they are the final word in what appears via their search index.
