Bing Webmaster Tools Adds Sitemap File Types & Expanded Navigation
Jul 6th
Bing has made great efforts in recent months to improve their webmaster tools. The most prominent feature updates happened when the company removed the need for Silverlight and streamlined their entire interface. However, Bing Webmaster Tools is continuing on its path of improvement. A recent set of feature updates adds sitemap file type options, expands the navigation, adds a notification option, and adds support for additional languages.
Previously, the sitemap upload tool on the site only allowed for the .XML file type. The new version allows for RSS, Atom, and TXT sitemaps as well. Both Atom 0.3 and 1.0 are supported. Bing has also promised “further expansion of this list of files types in the future.”
The expanded navigation for the site takes the form of a second bar that gives additional options relevant to your top level of navigation. For example, visiting the “Index” tab will provide index-related options that were previously accessible through less visible navigation.
Users can now access notification options in their Preferences menu. Notification can be sent for items such as crawl errors on the site, suspected malware, updates to the Bing Webmaster Tools, and more. Choosing which specific types of notifications you want to receive, however, is not possible. Users must opt in or out of all BWT messages.
And last, but certainly not least, Bing has expanded BWT to support 34 languages, including Italian, Japanese, Arabic, Polish, Spanish, German, Hindi, and Portugese.
Bing’s webmaster tools have more features promised on the horizon as well. It’s clear that Bing is ready to step up its game and compete with the webmaster and analytics tools provided by competitor Google. With Bing’s popularity rising, especially when Yahoo! figures are also tabulated in, the timing is ideal for improving webmaster-oriented extras.

Generator Xml Sitemap and Add to Search Engines
Jan 16th
XML Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to tell search engines about pages on their site that may be crawled by their robots. A typical XML Sitemap file lists each URL, together with information about when it was last updated, how often it normally changes, and how important it is, relative to other pages in the site). This helps search engines to more intelligently crawl your site. In November 2006, Google, Yahoo! and MSN joined forces to support a new industry standard for sitemaps: Sitemaps 0. 90. As long as webmasters follow the protocol, they can ensure their sites are fully and consistently indexed across all the major search engines (a real step forward). This article is important for all those with missing or poorly ranked pages. The official site for the joint venture is at sitemaps. org and contains a lot of info about the new standard and it’s syntax. What the site singularly fails to do is explain correctly how to submit your sitemap to the big three! The format suggested on the site of: search-engine-url/ping?sitemap=your sitemap_urldoes not currently work at any of the three sites! Until it does, this short article provides instructions for how to (a) create your sitemap and (b) how to submit to each of the three main search engines. . . Creating your Sitemap Some hosting providers (for example 1and1) provide utilities via their web control panel, to create your sitemap, so you should always check with your provider first. If this service is not available, then make a visit to xml-sitemaps. com and enter your site URL into the generator box. Copy-and-paste the resulting sitemap into notepad, then save-and-upload to your site with the file name: sitemap. xml xml-sitemaps. com If you want to validate the XML prior to uploading to the search engines (useful if you have made any manual amendments), look at the XML validator (at the same site) where you can put in the URL of your sitemap and check it against the standard. Submit sitemap to MSN MSN have yet to implement a formal interface for Sitemap submission (as at July 2007). To monitor the situation, please visit (from time to time) the MSN Official Livesearch Blog (where where future announcements are likely to be found). bing. com/webmaster Since February 2005, moreover. com have been the official provider of RSS feeds to the myMSN portal (see press release) and reliable evidence suggests that submission to Moreover will result in MSN spidering your pages within 2-3 weeks. Submit sitemap to Google Google originally developed the XML schema for sitemaps and have developed a dedicated portal for webmasters, from where you can submit your sitemap: google. com/webmasters/tools/ First, you need to tell Google all the sites you own, then verfiy that you indeed own them. The verifiaction is achieved by adding a metatag between the head tags on your site homepage. The syntax for the tag is as follows: There are full instructions on how to do this on the Google site. Submit sitemap to Yahoo Yahoo follows a similar approach to Google. Again, there is a dedicated sevice for webmasters (Yahoo! Site Explorer) and a procedure for verifying your ownsership of the site. First go to: siteexplorer. search. yahoo. com/ Add a site, then click on the verification button. You can then download a verfication key html file – which you will need to upload to the root directory of your webserver. Then you can return to Site Explorer and tell Yahoo to start authentication. This will take up to 24 hours. At the same time you can also add your sitemap by clicking on the manage button and then adding the sitemap as a feed. Submit Site url To all Search Engines. . Send Sitemap to Search Engines
