    With Bing's new launch, be sure to add your website(s) and their sitemap(s) to the Bing Webmaster Tools: Webmaster Center - Bing

    They've got a nice little console. A tad different than Google's, but very nice nonetheless. :)

    It seems to have a simpler interface, tho not quite as many tools.
    I submitted mine.

    Not bad - it's simplistic, which is refreshing. ;)

    Oh that reminds me, I need to create a bug so vBulletin 4 is updated to submit sitemaps to Bing instead of Live.com.

    I submitted mine a few weeks ago. It's a pretty cool interface, but I'm not gonna lie: I thought it was some type of scam/virus site, until I saw a commercial for it on TV. Bing.com just doesn't ring my "Search Engine" bell, as far as names go.

    And here I was, thinking that I was the only one who thought so. Nonetheless, I'm still fond of the interface (overall).

    I do not have a live account - well I do, but I keep forgetting my account name. So I am tired of having to create a new live account every time I want to use the msn or bing webmaster tools. A simple option to send a "forgot account name" or "forgot password" option to my "real" email address would be nice. But instead, microsoft has to have a power play and try to force people to use live or hotmail.

    And, if you do not use the email account, its deleted.

    I dont like playing games with companies. Nor will I be forced to log into my live or hotmail account every few months just to keep it active.

    Actually you can use your real address. I never remember my live ID, so I just signed up again last night using my own address. ;)

    Bing Is Not Google

    I've submitted mine as well, be interesting to see how the results compare with Google.

    I'll try to revisit this in a month to compare results

    Ok, and how do I do that. The long in page just has a place to enter your "windows live id"

    On the left of the login area click "Sign Up". Then you're taken to the registration page where you can use whatever e-mail address you want. :)

    Yeah, my wife uses her personalized domain email. Yeah, she has a domain name just for a single email account.

    LOL I have my name as a domain name, and I'm thinking about using it for a new personal e-mail account. I was going to put up a blog (well, I did) but I haven't got around to setting it up, so I know I won't be able to upkeep it.

    Just started submitting my sites and was wondering about the "page score". Most of my top five pages are at 4 or 5, but one is at 1. The domain score is 5. How are the scores calculated? Should I worry about this?

    Also, I wish they allowed you to add multiple sitemaps, like Google Webmaster Tools. Not all programs that generate sitemaps have provisions for adding extra URLs.

    Just create your emails using the same email as your regular email. I use the same email with all of them whether its AOL, MSN, Yahoo, and my regular provider.

    I also have a system of passwords that I use for emails and web sites. These allow me to keep from going insane from remembering a lot of junk. And yes I use a unique to my site and host passwords as well. That way if someone does get hold of my forum or email passwords, they want work on the site.


    I've got it through VBSEO but not sure how it actually works.
