Bing.com, Microsoft's search engine, offers website owners and developers a way to add URLs so their sites show up when people use Bing to search the Internet. Bing has a program called BingBot that automatically searches the Internet and finds most pages--eventually. It may take months for BingBot to list a site. You can manually add your website to ensure it is listed on Bing as soon as your site goes online.
