Bing Webmaster Tools Offers latest Social Networking Support

Bing made an announcement on their blog about the beginning of a new feature to their Webmaster Tools called Connected Pages.

Bing Webmaster Tools is extremely similar to Google Webmaster Tools in that it allows you to validate websites you own and track a multitude of data gathered from search activity.

However, both of these sets of tools have a bound. You can only track data on sites you personally own or control. Bing’s new Connected Pages now allows you to take it a step added.

In addition to claiming websites, you can now claim social media pages and connect them to your account. This will allow you to track similar data related to those connected pages. For example, if you want to know what keywords people are using to find your social media pages, you will now be able to do that.

You can attach a full range of social media pages as long as those pages have a link back to your established website. You won’t have to give Bing with any special permissions for your social media accounts, so your privacy is still fully in tact.

Here is a complete list of social media pages that are presently supported:


Twitter

LinkedIn

Google+

Windows Store

Google Play

Apple Store


Windows Phone Store

YouTube

Instagram

MySpace

You can begin connecting any of these pages to your Bing Webmaster Tools early today.
