Be sure to signup for Bing webmaster tools. Take a look at this blog post for more information.
Quote: Starting last year we have been transitioning the backend for our organic search to the Microsoft search platform as part of the Yahoo! & Microsoft Search Alliance. The transition of algorithmic search results for Yahoo! Search result pages is complete for US, Canada, Australia, Brazil and Mexico. We plan to transition the rest of world markets later this year.
In an August 2010 blog post, we said we would continue Site Explorer with a focus on new features for webmaster community, even after the transition to Microsoft platforms is complete. We listened to your feedback, and along with the team from Bing Webmaster Center looked jointly at the roadmap for the webmaster tools. Having two webmaster portals for a single source for organic results does not add enough value. Once organic results are transitioned to Bing in all the markets, we plan to shut down Yahoo! Site Explorer and....

That is correct. We anticipate that later this year, Yahoo!’s organic results will be powered by Microsoft’s search platform in all parts of the world. After that point, any optimization that you do on Bing Webmaster Center tool will be reflected in Yahoo! organic search results. - Does this mean, both Yahoo and Bing search results will have the same results??? I'm kinda confused here @_@ Quote: Originally Posted by jhoanna - Does this mean, both Yahoo and Bing search results will have the same results???

It's from last year though. http://mashable.com/2010/08/24/bing-...-yahoo-search/ Quote: Originally Posted by snakeair You never heard about this deal Bing and Yahoo had?

I did heard last year about the transition, but not clear about their search results being the same
Btw, Thanks for the 2nd link. Now I'm thinking, "it's useless to use both search engines now... but which one to use? since Yahoo slurp crawlers may continue to selectively crawl websites..." So is Bing right now using the results from Yahoo?? The bad thing is, bing webmaster tools is TERRIBLE.
Sites that have over 1 million pages, and bing barely indexes 15% of their pages. I thought yahoo did a pretty job of indexing links and pages. But bing,, bah. You can try these tools aswell:

These tools are great replacements for Yahoo site explorer. I trust that they know what they're doing and hopefully the combined efforts will provide better indexing of content and backlinks. However, I have noticed several of the web services that I've been using for years have came out with some pretty horrible new updates so it wouldn't surprise me if this fails too. If it ain't broke don't fix it! Quote: Originally Posted by akasheg So is Bing right now using the results from Yahoo?? No, it's the other way around. Yahoo is using Bing's results. That's the reason for transitioning to Bing's webmaster too set. Quote: Originally Posted by indybail No, it's the other way around. Yahoo is using Bing's results. That's the reason for transitioning to Bing's webmaster too set. Oh sad because I have never been a fan of bing or the live search. oh so the indexing chances are 0 for bing , bing hardly index pages and i think it will take time more than a year to get fully index in bing So is there no need to optimize a site for yahoo? It is not a good idea for SEOer ! Ya true... Bing is terrible with indexing pages... Just hope they will make things better in the near future. They are doing so just to reach Google It
