Building an indie business in the center of venture capital. I am Alex Edmands. People on the internet. Call me Supreme Rum. And this is the building an Indie business podcast recorded in the Indie Business studio. Ok. So today I'm gonna talk about Bing. Um, I've been having some issues with Bing, but as of yesterday, I actually have an update, uh, a positive update for Bing. Um, I'm also going to compare Bing to Google for a second. So, yeah, let's get into it. So originally I was gonna record this episode and talk about all the issues I've had with Bing. So, um, I have zero clicks. I have 634 crawl request, 37 crawl errors and 72 pages are indexed. That's in three months, right? Versus Google? 00, wait, no, I'll, I'll compare Google. Let's do pages indexing. I have 124 pages indexed. Um, again, 72 124 indexed. So I was gonna talk about how I have all these issues with Bing and I still have these issues technically, but yesterday I got one impression from being and that puts me at the eighth position for that impression. So that's pretty high for Google for, compared to Google, I'm not in the eighth position for almost anything. Um, uh, on Google. But wait, my, my stats for Google are nine clicks 1.75 1000 impressions. Um, so yeah, if you ever wonder why Google is beating bing, that's why. And then I can't even get on bing shopping, I don't think. But anyways, dude, 634 crawl requests. 37 Crawl. Er, that's ridiculous. I don't know what's up with that. So I literally have no data on Bing after three months of running this website. And that is crazy, especially because my entire strategy revolves around seo, like how does that help me?

Oh, it's right in front of me. Ok. Um, how to get a Ecommerce store on bing shopping? There's a big shopping tab. I just, I don't know because I call it Google shopping tab. So is it bing shopping tab? That's just an important question. So let's go to bing dot com because I truly don't know this answer. Ping dot com. And then let's Google one dog, one dog.
