Bing Webmaster Guidelines1112 are guidelines that help webmasters understand how Bing finds, indexes, and ranks websites.

Crawlability is the ability of a search engine crawler, such as Googlebot, to access and crawl content on a page. If a site has no crawlability issues, then web crawlers can access all its content easily by following links between pages12. Crawlability is important for SEO because it allows search engines to discover, index, and rank your web pages. If your site has crawlability issues, such as blocked pages, broken links, or access restrictions, then your site may not be fully indexed or ranked by search engines. You can use tools like Bing Webmaster Tools or Ahrefs Site Audit to check and improve your site’s crawlability. 😊
Crawling and indexing are two distinct processes in the SEO industry. Crawling means that a search engine bot looks at all the content and code on a page and analyzes it. Indexing means that the page is eligible to show up in search results. Crawling is the first step in having a search engine recognize a page and show it in search results, but having a page crawled does not necessarily mean it will be indexed. Indexing involves storing, analyzing, and organizing the content and connections between pages1.
Crawlability and indexability are two aspects of how search engines interact with a website. Crawlability is the ability of search engine bots to access and explore a site’s content by following links. Indexability is the ability of search engines to analyze and add a site’s pages to their index, which allows them to appear in the search results. Crawlability is a necessary condition for indexability, but not a sufficient one2.
Crawlability and indexability affect SEO because they determine how well a website can be discovered, understood, and ranked by search engines. If a website has crawlability or indexability issues, such as blocked pages, broken links, duplicate content, or poor optimization, then it may not be fully indexed or ranked by search engines. Therefore, it is important to optimize your website for both crawlability and indexability to improve your visibility and performance in search3456.
There are many ways to improve the visibility of your blogspot site on Google and other search engines. Here are some of the most common and effective ones:
Write about topics that people are searching for and that are relevant to your niche. You can use tools like Ahrefs’ free keyword generator to find popular and related keywords for your blog posts. Make sure to include your target keywords in your title, headings, URL, meta description, and content12.
Make sure your content matches the search intent of your target keywords. Search intent is the reason why people search for something on Google. You can analyze the top-ranking pages for your keywords and see what type of content they provide, such as blog posts, videos, products, or guides. Then create content that is similar or better than them12.
Build an email list and send newsletters to your subscribers whenever you publish a new blog post. This will help you drive more traffic to your site and increase engagement with your audience. You can use tools like Mailchimp or HubSpot to create and manage your email campaigns13.
Reach out to people who are mentioned in your blog posts or who might be interested in your content. You can email them, tag them on social media, or comment on their blogs. This will help you build relationships with influencers, generate backlinks, and attract more visitors to your site12.
Boost important posts with internal links from other relevant pages on your site. This will help you pass authority and relevance to your target pages, improve user experience, and increase dwell time. You can use tools like Ahrefs’ Site Audit or Bing Webmaster Tools’ Site Scan to find and fix broken links on your site123.
Build links from other authoritative and relevant sites to your blog posts. This will help you increase your site’s authority, trustworthiness, and ranking potential. You can use various link building strategies such as guest posting, resource page link building, skyscraper technique, or broken link building. You can use tools like Ahrefs’ Site Explorer or Bing Webmaster Tools’ Backlinks report to analyze and monitor your backlink profile123.
Promote your content in online communities where your target audience hangs out. You can use platforms like Reddit, Quora, Facebook groups, Twitter chats, or niche forums to share your blog posts and engage with potential readers. Make sure to follow the rules and etiquette of each community and provide value before promoting yourself12.
Create shareable images for your blog posts and post them on social media platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, or Facebook. This will help you attract more attention, clicks, and shares for your content. You can use tools like Canva or Adobe Spark to create stunning graphics for your blog posts12.
Refresh and republish old blog posts that are still relevant and have traffic potential. You can update the content with new information, images, links, or keywords. You can also change the title, meta description, or URL to make them more appealing and optimized. This will help you boost the freshness and ranking of your blog posts12.
Craft click-worthy headlines for your blog posts that capture the attention and curiosity of your readers. You can use formulas like how-to, listicles, questions, or numbers to create catchy headlines. You can also use tools like CoSchedule’s Headline Analyzer or Sharethrough’s Headline Analyzer to test and improve your headlines12.
Repurpose your content into different formats and distribute them on different channels. You can turn your blog posts into videos, podcasts, infographics, slideshows, ebooks, or webinars. This will help you reach a wider audience, increase brand awareness, and drive more traffic to your site12.
These are some of the ways to increase the visibility of your blogspot site on Google and other search engines. I hope you find them useful and implement them on your site. If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. 😊
