Bing Webmaster Tools for WordPress Websites

Things to keep in mind:

    • Every environment (infrastructure, software, etc.) is unique, so there’s no universal approach to configuring a solution.
    • Review and understand all available settings, configuring them to the best of your ability, while not blindly guessing.
    • If a specific setting isn’t mentioned, the defaults are acceptable, or the settings are self-explanatory to any skill level.

Bing is the second largest search engine, after Google, and because it’s pretty simple to add your website to Bing Webmaster Tools, why not help yourself get additional SEO traffic to your site?
