If you have more than 500 published posts in your blog, then you must need to add more sitemaps. Go to your site dashboard in Bing Webmaster Tools and submit below sitemaps there.

Now let see what we have to do to improve our blog’s indexing rate in Bing and Yahoo.

How to increase Indexing in Bing and Yahoo Search Engines?

It usually happens that after submitting sitemap, our blog posts not get index on time in these two search engines. In that case we need to ping the Bing and Yahoo to notify them about our newly added content so that our posts get indexed as soon as possible. Let see how to do it.

Perform below steps:

From the below Links, replace www.bloggertipstricks.com with your blog URL.

Now copy below links one by one and paste into your browser address bar and press enter.

You’ll get a message “Thanks for submitting your sitemap” that means you have successfully pinged Bing. Cheers!

This is enough to start indexing of your blog posts in both the search engines. But I have noticed that our blog posts not get indexed on time and even not indexed many times.

That’s the reason why bloggers fail to gain traffic from Bing and Yahoo search engines. To overcome this problem, we have a great feature in our Webmaster Tools account. When we publish a new post in our blog, we can submit the URL of that post to in our account. Adding link manually gives us 100% result of indexing the posts on time. Let see how to submit the links.

How To Submit Links in Bing Webmaster Tools?

Perform below steps:

Go to My sites page in your Bing Webmaster Tools account.

Choose your site.

Click on Configure My Site and choose Submit URLs.

Now add your blog post URL in the Submit URLs box and press Submit button.

Note: We can only submit 10 links in a single day and 50 links in a month.

That’s it!

Summary

Submit your blog sitemap to Google, Bing and Yahoo search engines to gain organic traffic to your blog.
Track your number of indexed posts, traffic sources and linked sites from webmaster tools.
