Check out the new Bing Webmaster Tools

Have you checked out the new Bing Webmaster Tools? As an SEO, you should!

Hello. Thanks for listening to SEO tips today.

I’m becoming a fan of the new Bing Webmaster Tools. It has a site scan that highlights SEO issues (for smaller sites), a competitor link research tool built-in along with a keyword research tool that provides: 

• Impressions & trends (by country)
• The top 10 ranking URLs by keyword
• Reports for related questions and newly discovered keywords. 

If you have not enabled it (still in beta), you do that by visiting this link. It should roll out to everyone this month.

I also discovered that Bing has an open-source XML sitemap plugin for Apache servers inside Bing Webmaster Tools. Learn more here.

So that’s your tip for this today – check out the new Bing webmaster tools.

Thanks for listening. Come back tomorrow for another SEO tip.
