One of my goals for the semester with this blog was to have it appear as the #1 result under the keyword “unidigadv” (our class hashtag on Twitter) and to be on the first page for the keyword “uni digital adveritising”. Here is a rundown of how we’re doing:

The good news is that I’m doing very well on Google – the blog is on the first page of results for all four keywords. And we’re up to #2 for the class hashtag – Not too shabby!
However, I noticed that my blog was not appearing on Bing at all.
I guess Bing is not very bright. In the old days, all search engines were a bit dim and you had to manually submit your website URL to the search engine before it could find it. So I searched for “Submitting a website on Bing” and found this site to submit websites to Bing. The cool thing is that once I submitted my blog to Bing, it offered me a $50 credit on Microsoft Advertising (good toward ad campaigns on Bing and Yahoo!) for creating a Bing Webmaster account (which is free).
I’m curious to see how long it will take for Bing to index this blog and list it in their results – I’ll keep you posted!
How is your blog doing?
