"Bing" is finding & listing X2 image pages!

12 Jun 2009, 12:14

Good news on the SEO front for Imagevue.

I noticed today that "Bing" has listed and direct linked to a couple of my imagevue html "image pages" from within the "also on this page" function.

From the site map it breaks out the X2 site as follows:
- Flash Gallery
- HTML Gallery
- Gallery (links to the HTML gallery page
- (and then lists two of the html image pages seperately)

From the Main Flash Page it lists:
- Flash Gallery
- HTML Gallery
- HTML SiteMap

Yes it's only a couple of the image pages, and unfortunately a search on the image page content itself gives no results for my site....but...but it's a good development and nice to see. I'm going to keep an eye on Bing -;)

That's good to know, thanks. It's also good to keep an eye out for it because this search engine is.... how can I put it nicely?... let's just say fluctuating. So what you see today may be altogether different later and again later on. But, this is still good news, thanks.

Looking closer what I see is this...

Bing finds the image titles on the sitemap page and recognizes them as links within the page to additional content. It doesn't, however, actually SEE the image page, as far as I can tell.

However, I also found that a Bing search string related to one of my image titles ranks the sitemap page fairly high in search results. Now THAT's encouraging-;)

I have been watching and using this for a wee while now. Still beta but looking good so far.

What is Bing anyway? I checked, and its indexing separate images from our soda gallery.

Hah, I thought so when it suddenly appeared as IE default search engine. Looks like wtf? What's that bird doing there?

My "evil empire" remark was of course in jest.
My own machines run various distro's of Linux but I have absolutely no problem with Microsoft or their operating system. My choice is a financial one.

I could write quite a bit on google if you like that would open a few eyes, or you could always use google to find out :lol:
