@_sumitdh @mikeschechter It's fixed... thanks Sumit for reporting that.

@mikeschechter 🙌

Big release from the Bing Webmaster Tools team today - you can now see how often your content is cited in AI generated answers across Bing and select partner products.

@lamarisme Happy?

@facan cc @facan 🙏

Hey @facan — Bing deindexed my entire site overnight. I opened two support tickets but only received generic template replies with no explanation. Is there any way to get a real review from the Bing team? Would really appreciate your help.

@searchmartin @ComRicheyweb Well, as alien presence on Earth is about to be officially disclosed any day now… I think need to politely ask our new cosmic neighbors to start tagging their posts properly with AGC - Alien Generated Content 👽🛸 😉

@ComRicheyweb here, this is the google specification developers.google.com/search/docs/cr… BING as well, but I have no idea if they use the stuff like "ugc" etc. (cc @facan ?)

Repeat after me: "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DO FOLLOW LINK"

@lilyraynyc SEO tip: SEO traffic down ? Don’t look at Google alone. Check Bing Webmaster Tools and Google Search Console. If both decline near the same days, it’s probably a technical SEO issue or competitors gaining ground, not just Google adjusting their rankers or demoting the website.

I should mention they're not "winning in AI search" either (as the case study claims)

I have now read *multiple* public AEO/GEO "case studies" where the organic traffic literally looks like this. I'm not even kidding. I just pulled this chart from a case study published 2 weeks ago. Looks to me like they actually destroyed their website.

@lilyraynyc 💯 Lily. How will you know when .md transform is half-broken on a page? Who will fix? In the AI era we understand webpages perfectly, no need for sub-standard. Think: we rank based on what customers see. As crawlable ajax, anything not real or not well managed by SEOs will die!

Just thinking out loud… What happens when the AI companies (inevitably) encounter spam and attempts at SEO/GEO manipulation in the markdown files targeted to bots? What happens when the .md files no longer provide an equivalent experience to what users are seeing? What happens if they continue crawling those pages but actually toss them out before using the content to form a response? …And we keep conflating “bot crawling activity” with “the bots are using/liking my markdown content?” How will we know if they’re actually using the .md files or not?

@patrickstox @aleyda Yes Patrick, it is complicated. Many sites miss full conversion analytics. So clicks & impressions (Ahrefs/GSC/BWT/Clarity/etc.) are still great signals for now for most. But their real value? It varies wildly by search & AI solutions. Focus on what convert!

@facan @aleyda The reality is you have to focus on both. If you don't have conversions, but rely on ad views, then what? Also, views can lead to loyalty and brand awareness, even allow people to go from problem awaylre to solution aware which can lead to conversions later. It's complicated.

👀 ChatGPT Has 12% of Google’s Search Volume but Google Sends 190x More Traffic to Websites - An eye opening piece by @patrickstox if you were still thinking in terms of *traffic* as a main indicator or goal from AI Search: * For every search-like query in ChatGPT, there are 8.33 searches in Google. * Google sends 190x more traffic to websites than ChatGPT. * ChatGPT’s CTR is 96% lower than Google’s CTR. The data shows two different business models: Google connects people to websites, ChatGPT keeps them in conversation. Read: ahrefs.com/blog/chatgpt-h…

@DuaneForrester Great ask as always from Duane 👏🏻And if/when we ship the blog announcing this, we will make sure Duane is included in some form, because we ❤️ Duane.

@facan PLEASE tell me you’ll include this new data in an account-level API so this important data can be portable. 🙏🙏 FWIW, I’d do it. 😉

We're excited to share new insights that bring more transparency to the web ecosystem. Publishers can now see how their content shows up in the AI era URLs, grounding queries, and page‑level performance. GEO meets SEO, power your strategy with real signals blogs.bing.com/webmaster/Febr…

@Adoubleagent @aleyda @bing With this preview, the data is not yet available via the API. Enabling data in our API is on our backlog, and we’ll take your feedback along with others, into account when prioritizing next release. Please keep the feedback coming.

@facan @aleyda @bing @facan out of interest is data in the data table available in the Bing WMT API? If not will it?

🚨 Microsoft is Introducing AI Performance in @bing Webmaster Tools: A new set of insights that shows how sites content appears across Microsoft Copilot, AI-generated summaries in Bing, and select partner integrations 👇 This is the first official AI search visibility dashboard directly provided by platforms 👏 This is what you can see in it: * Total Citations Shows the total number of citations that are displayed as sources in AI-generated answers. * Average Cited Pages Shows the average number of unique pages from your site that are displayed as sources in AI-generated answers per day over the selected time range. * Grounding queries Shows the key phrases the AI used when retrieving content that was referenced in AI-generated answers. * Page-level citation activity Shows citation counts for specific URLs from your site, making it easy to see which individual pages are most often referenced across AI-generated answers. * What's not included? No intent or sentiment analysis, or an extract of the answers to check. Also, no data from other brands/sites, only yours. There's room to improve/expand of course, but I'm thankful for this first step. Go to Bing Webmaster tools and check it out 😎🙌 --- I want to thank @facan and team for the fantastic effort in the right direction to give official AI Search data to sites 🙏 Hopefully more platforms like Google and ChatGPT/OpenAI take note!

Bing Webmaster Tools testing new AI Performance report searchengineland.com/bing-webmaster…

11 years ago, I suggested & drove our epic Bing team-building project: lighting up the Bing building in Bellevue with a massive 12-man sign visible for miles. We’ve since moved buildings, but that 12th Man spirit lives on strong. And now our Seahawks are BACK in the Super Bowl! #GoHawks 1️⃣2️⃣

@rustybrick @sadayk Team is looking at this.

@sadayk @facan i see content but you are the second person to tell me you dont see it - from your region

@facan the Bing Webmaster Guildenes bing.com/webmasters/hel… showing no content, Its shows "No data available" . Can you please confirm if this moved to new location ot its just a bug.

@Olivia1473273 @BingWMC Hi Olivia, our team will check on this shortly, very likely tomorrow.

Any idea? @facan @BingWMC

I have updated my website multiple times. My website (thecryeptocode.com) has been removed from the Bing index without any logical reason. I have multiple support requests created, all without any response. We've lost a lot of traffic since November.@BingWMC @facan See this

@Yvantjeeh @BingWMC I’ve requested the team to take a look into it...

@facan any idea @facan @BingWMC

@BingWMC I am looking for someone to respond to my inquiries. My website (planetnode.net) has been removed from the Bing index without any logical reason. I have multiple support requests created, all without any response. We've lost a lot of traffic since august.

@peturgeorgievv Best is to investigate your home page via Bing Webmaster tool URL Inspection bing.com/webmasters/url… and of you cannot figure out, open a support ticket via support bing.com/webmasters/hel…

Has anyone managed to crack Bing? It seems to have zero traffic for PostFast, which is quite strange for me, as I have a lot of traffic from Google? I'm checking IndexNow as a solution.

@inspiredtaste @glenngabe @rustybrick Thank you for sharing. Our team will review this. For the best experience, best is to use the Feedback button (in the menu) or open a Webmaster Support ticket bing.com/webmasters/hel…

@glenngabe @facan @rustybrick Here is a screenshot of the Bing Copilot recipe card substitutions for our pho recipe. These are a complete disaster and we don't provide any of these substitutions in markup or on the page at all, yet our brand name is being used on all of this AI mess. (2/2)
