Thank you for this, I've made the changes.

I really hope that Bing will grow big and emerge as a strong alternative to Google. It will only be better for webmasters and forum owners

I have to agree, a little competition is better for everyone.

Sure can... Has proven that even with alexa rating I think quite beautiful and useful.

But I still have 0 visitors from Bing.Com

Great improvements
I have now 22 visitor

Bing will need more than a new name and background image to compete with google.
Bing still seems to lack the indexing speed and comprehensiveness of Google.

If Bing keeps the mass advertising, soon they will. This time Billy is pissed and is reaching out more to webmasters and asking for user feedback.

More and more advertisers are using Adcenter; therefore, more revenue which = better engine.

Does Bing-Msn-Live-Microsoft have an Adsense like program for publishers? That will really be a threat to Google.

i did this and it doesn't seemed to have worked?

As I've did this

Would it be possible to include Bing here as well?

PHP Code:

    // Additional robots detection definitions (delimited with "|")
    define('VBSEO_EXTRA_ROBOTS', ''); 


Also, are there currently any other robots supported as well?

Bing is still using msnbot user-agent: Bing - Name of Bing Useragent Appearing in Server Logs - Bing Community

Default search engines bots list in vBSEO is:

Code:

appie|msnbot|jeeves|googlebot|mediapartners|harvest|htdig|yahoo|linkwalker|lycos_|scooter|ia_archiver|netcraft

Has anyone found a way to increase indexed pages in bing yet?

Bing has been going nuts the past few days on my site. I'm wondering if they are doing something....
