Blog, Bing, and Yandex

Yandex and Bing are two of the four biggest search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex) from Russia. Bing belongs to Microsoft while Yandex is just a search engine used by many internet surfers in the world. Having your blog indexed by these two search engines give you chance to have more visitors come to your blog.

Please understand that what the search engines index is a page URL. If you have a blog with 100 page URLs (including articles and pages), it does not necessarily mean that the search engines index all of them. If you find this URL is indexed (https://writingnblogging.blogspot.com), it does not mean that all pages or articles under that domain are indexed. Search engines are selective in indexing a certain URL. In other words, to be indexed by search engine, your URL should refer to a page that:

  • Has good quality or value;
  • Contains no SPAM or malware;
  • Well coded and structured;
  • Accessible.

Therefore, make sure that your blog contains no broken link, no spun article, no clickbait, no spam, and no malware. If you want to have a well coded and structure page, it is recommended that you refer to a post that discusses All Important HTML Tags for SEO.
