Add a Blogger Sitemap to MSN Bing Webmaster Tools

Add a Blogger Sitemap to MSN Bing Webmaster Tools


How to add a Blogger Blog and Blogger Sitemap (Blogspot Sitemap) to Bing Webmaster Tools . Step by step instructions for Blogspot bloggers who want to improve search engine optimization of their blog.

Although Bing  gets a fraction of search engine traffic compared to Google and Yahoo it is still worthwhile submitting your Blogger sitemap (Blogspot sitemap) and blog to Bing. The advantages of adding your blog to Bing is that you will learn more about how your site is crawled and what keywords visitors use to access your blog pages.

How to Add a Blogger Blog (Blogspot Blog) to Bing Webmaster Tools


1. Create an account or sign into Bing at MSN. If you have a hotmail account you will already have access to Bing Webmaster Tools

2. Navigate to the Bing Webmasters Tools page

Installing Skylight is purely optional. Silverlight is Microsoft's competitive product for Adobe Flash. Try it if you wish as it adds some extra functionality but for the purposes of this Blogger tutorial it is not necessary.

3. From the Bing Webmaster home page click on Add Site

4. Fill in the URL address of your Blogger blog 

add site bing webmaster

5. Click on Submit

Your blog will now appear on the list of added sites under your Bing Webmaster account

6. Click the Verify Site link at the right of your blog

7. Choose Option 2 - Add meta tag to your default webpage

8. Login to your Blogger account if not already logged in using a different browser window

9. From the Dashboard go to Design > Edit HTML

Paste the code below the <head> tag and before <b:skin> and as early as possible 

For the new generation of default Blogger templates I suggest placing the code just below these two lines:

<head>
<meta content='IE=EmulateIE7' http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible'/>


For earlier generations of default Blog templates and custom templates I suggest you place the Bing Webmaster meta tag after these lines:
<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

Click on Save Template

10 .Return to Bing Webmaster and click on the Verify button

If successful your Blogger blog will be added to the list of sites. Information about your blog will show not available as it takes at least 48 hours to activate.

How to Add a Blogger Sitemap (Blogspot Sitemap) to Bing Webmaster

  9. Brown rice syrup along with honey, maple syrup and barley malt syrup are provided between the low and high level of sweeteners for their antioxidant capacity. Replacing low-antioxidant sweeteners, such as refined sugar and corn syrup, with high-antioxidant sweeteners, such as brown rice syrup or honey, could be beneficial in providing an additional source of antioxidants.
