I'm not a big one for marketing and names and all that stuff so I couldn't really care about the name “Bing” In fact, it sounds ok to me… But I don't have a gripe with the glitzy naming or promotion, what I care about is what's under the bonnet… And quite frankly, it is garbage!

Every website I create get's instantly indexed in both Google and Yahoo, yet never gets indexed in Bing until I shout and scream in their community forums and Brett Yount manually adds it!

How do they expect to be successful with this type of activity… And all the forum experts say “focus on building quality backlinks” – bullshit! I'm not asking to be number one…I'm asking to be indexed… a process that Yahoo and Google have no problem doing…I will focus on backlinks in my efforts to be at the top of the SERPs but that is secondary to just being listed!

Think about it, a small business owner who is focussing energy on a website (growing numbers of businesses focussing efforts online)…
I have a website and Bing doesn't index it…
1. I'm never going to use Bing because it won't list my site
2. I'm never going to tell anyone else to use Bing because they wont find me there

They're shooting themselves in the foot by making getting listed so difficult!

There is clearly a major issue with their index and it either can't keep up or is very buggy… What's even worse is I have seen in my logs that the MSN Bot has visited my site 5-6 times… And I still can't get listed… So in other words, it knows I exist, it has crawled my site, yet it still won't list me…

Boo Bing!

Google might be having a tough competitor with Microsofts own search engine. my initial test result shows that Bing is as good as Google when displaying relevant search results.
