Overall Satisfaction with Bing Webmaster Tools

We use Bing Webmaster Tools in order to have Bing scour our site for new content every time we add a blog post, or change the site at all. It's pretty much a necessity. When you have Bing scan your site, you can see your new page come up on search results pretty much the same day. Aside from submitting sitemaps, we will also manually put in the URL of the new page that we are submitting. I'm not sure if that makes it faster or not, but it's easy to do.

The reports are nice and give you actionable items to address in order to increase your search rankings.

Bing webmaster tools is pretty much a necessity for anyone who has a web page.
  • Site crawls, once initiated, don't take very long to complete
  • SEO analysis tells you which pages are not following best practices
  • Page Traffic reports tell you which of your sites are appearing in search, their position in the rankings, and how it's been performing over time
  • You can see the keywords people use to search for your site
  • The interface could be a little bit better when compared to Google's solution
  • ROI is huge, as there is no upfront cost, but traffic increases
  • Takes very little time from a labor standpoint.
I use Bing in conjunction with the others. You'll want to use multiple search engine tools.
If you have a website, and you ever add content to it, then you really need to be submitting to Bing via their webmaster tools. If you haven't done this yet, you'll find that after just about a month your search rankings will be higher, and you'll get more traffic. I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't want to use these tools for your website.
