Submitting Important New and Changed Content to Bing
It is a common practice that webmasters update their site with new content or change the URL of an existing page for various reasons. Search engines take quite a long time to crawl your new content or replace the existing URL in the index with your new URL. Hence, webmasters need to loose the traffic and wait till the time the new content or new URL is indexed in the search engine’s database.
Bing offers a simple solution to help webmasters avoid waiting for the Bingbot to crawl and inform Bingbot instantly to index the new and changed URLs.
How to Submit New and Changed URLs to Bing?
Login to your Bing webmaster tools account and select the site you want to add URLs. You must have added and verified your site in your account to use this feature.
“Submit URL” option is available under “Configure My Site” tab.
