\"\"With a quarter of search traffic coming from Bing and Yahoo!, if your blog isn't optimized for bing, you're missing out on lots of commissions!<\/p>\n

So, what can you do to improve your Bing viewership?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure the Bing spider is allowed to see your site in your robots.txt file<\/li>\n
  2. Check to see how many of your pages are indexed in Bing, by searching site:yourwebsite.com<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Compare those returns against the numbers shown by Google. <\/li>\n
  4. Use Bing's webmaster tools<\/a>, to increase your visibility.<\/li>\n
  5. Use Microsoft AdCenter in addition to Google Adwords to generate traffic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Yes, Google is great, but Bing will bring your extra traffic, so start paying attention to what they're telling you!<\/td>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
