Bing Index
Speed up your Bing indexing of links within about 1 hour to 24 hours from when you submit the index request.
To use the Bing Bulk Index and Instance Index features you need to complete 2 steps: Create an Index API Key and upload the file containing the key to your hosting (or your server), then add this API Key to AIKTP to use
Access the Bing Bulk Index feature of AIKTP
CREATE API KEY
To create an API Key you need to visit the Bing Index Now link: https://www.bing.com/indexnow
On the Index Now webpage, scroll down a bit and you will see a box
In this example, this is the API KEY: c75553657ce54b7dbdef8e446e9b7efb
After obtaining the API Key. You need to create a file named the same as the API Key with the .txt extension
For example: c75553657ce54b7dbdef8e446e9b7efb.txt
The content of this file is also the API Key shown above.
You can click the link to see the example: c75553657ce54b7dbdef8e446e9b7efb.txt
After creating the file, you need to upload this file to the root folder of your website so that you can access it as
https://[domain]/c75553657ce54b7dbdef8e446e9b7efb.txt
For example I uploaded it to the domain blogvn.aiktp.com, so the path will be as follows
Note: you must keep this file on the server. Do not delete it
This process helps Bing verify that you are the owner of the API Key. After completion you can use AIKTP's Bing Bulk Index feature
Add the API KEY to AIKTP
Go to the menu "Bing Bulk Index" or quickly click the link https://aiktp.com/vi/do-bing-indexing
On the Bing Bulk Index screen choose API KEY to add a key. You can quickly click the link https://aiktp.com/indexing-bing-api-key
On the Bing API Key management page, click "Add API KEY" to add the key
Enter the API KEY and click the Verify button for the system to confirm. Once complete you will see the API key and domain displayed as below
After finishing adding the API Key, you can proceed to Index. You can click the Link Urls menu or quickly click the link https://aiktp.com/do-bing-indexing
Select the website and paste the list of URLs you need Bing to index into the box. Each time you can request indexing for 100 links.
Note:
Bing does not have a fixed exact limit on the number of indexes per day.
Usually a new website will have a limit: 100 indexes per day
A 3-month-old website will be: 1,000 indexes per day
A 1-year-old website may be: 10,000 indexes per day.
You can see the limited number of indexes by registering for Bing Webmaster https://www.bing.com/webmasters/ and click the menu URL Submission
You can also request Bing to increase the daily indexing limit by contacting Bing Webmaster.
