I have been teaching this semester some basics about content
webmastering and referencing.
Part of the assignment was to create blogs and sites, with crosslinks
between all these sites.
Another part was to monitor the site presence in Google and Bing:
number of pages of the site indexed by the engine, and number of pages
containing the URL of the site (sort of link counting, but since the
link: search is usually flawed...)
The blogs were created on blogspot and so B-) were rapidly indexed by
Google, which then followed the links to the sites. The sites were
then indexed very early (after 2 weeks) and over weeks more and more
pages were indexed.
However getting these sites indexed by Bing has been a strange
experience: even though we used very early "addurl" to submit the
blogs addresses to Bing, and later the sites home pages, even though
the sites and blogs had links to the other blogs and links... most
sites had ZERO pages indexed over 3 months, and 20% of them had a
number of indexed pages much lower than Google.
My previous experience with Microsoft's engine was that it was very
fast to index once one page had been "addurl-ed", and Bing does not
seem to follow the same pattern (but I must confess that I have a site
for which I have NEVER been able to get even one page indexed!).
Do you have comments or similar experiences?
