BINGBOT GETS THE NEEDED UPDATE
Bing finally confirmed that its search crawler dubbed as the Bingbot was recently updated. Such news delighted a lot of site owners, digital marketers and SEO practitioners. This is because the recently- implemented update was designed to improve and to maximise the Bingbot’s crawl efficiency. It is worth noting the Bing’s latest move is essential since the Bingbot which is similar to Google’s Googlebot is responsible for crawling and discovering new and updated content and add these to Bing’s index. Thus, any improvement implemented on the Bingbot will surely affect the performance of any website and at the same time boost Bing’s relevance and popularity to users.
According to some news published on the web, the implementation of the latest Bingbot update was probably brought about by a series of complaints from webmasters and directed towards Bing claiming that the bot does crawl frequently enough. Due to this, many site owners currently believe that the content included on Bing’s index might not be that fresh as they claim it to be.
Aside from that, there are also a lot of site owners who believe that Bingbot crawls too often and this causes many constraints to most of the websites’ resources. But even though both the previous claims are most likely true, Bing looked upon their system, and its assessment led to the realisation that the issue was an engineering problem which was not fully resolved yet. Thus, Bing took all the necessary steps to have the Bingbot updated. As of the present, Bing’s latest update is credited as responsible for helping site owners in making their new and updated content will look appear on Bing’s index in a very timely manner. Finally, the updated is also lauded for not compromising the performance of a website’s resources.
