• methodologies of both engines.

   

  Links to the major Webmaster Tool Centers:

   
   
  • Bing Webmaster Center
   
  • Google Webmaster Central
   
  • Yahoo Site Explorer
   
   

  Bottom Line: Sign up for these tools today. Diagnostics from these tools provide marketers greater insight into how the engines are actively indexing and scoring websites, granting you a better position should any changes occur.

• Bing has already made a beta version of its Twitter search available to users at  bing.com/twitter.  

  The most interesting  aspect of Bing's Twitter search is that it offers something plain old Twitter Search

  That is a relevancy  factor (or at least an attempted relevancy factor).

• I have a question that has to do with search – I always hear about Google and  how important it is to follow Webmaster tools and so on. Now that Bing is  becoming more popular do they have a set of rules that people should pay  attention to in order to improve Bing search ranking? I would think somethings  would be different because you don’t get the same search results.   
   
   
   
  Do you address this in any of your  literature? 
• Thanks.

  That’s a good question. I haven’t really focused much on Bing until now,  maybe time to do some research so I am able to write an article or  two…
