With Bing's new app that will integrate their news feed into Facebook, I'd like to optimize for inclusion in Bing news pickup.

Does Bing accept news sitemaps yet?

I don't see anything specific on it. Id' ask Bing's Duane Forrester via Twitter

twitter.com/DuaneForrester

Process in the past:

"If you would like to be considered for bing news, please mail your request to bns@microsoft.com"

Please help, (going bananaz) trying to trouble shoot sitemap submitted to Bing

We need help to figure out what seems to be an error in our sitemap.
We have submitted the sitemap to BING and the sitemap includes 1,2 million pages that should be crawled. After initial submission, Bing says in the dashboard that 1,2 million pages have been submitted. Then always after 2-4 days the number drops to either 500.000 pages or like now 250.000 pages. Why is that? is there an error in our sitemap and BING in excluding pages, and it lowers the submitted number after going through them and discovering the error ?. We need to figure this out and fix so that BING can crawl and index all our 1,2 million pages. See the screenshot showing the BING dashboard.
We are also having issues with google but we can't figure out what is going on. Here are the sitemaps: https://imsvintagephotos.com/google_sitemap/sitemap.xml and here: https://imsvintagephotos.com/sitemap.xml. Your website is www.imsvintagephotos.com qqp6gj

Do I submit a sitemap for a highly dynamic site or not? If so, what's the best way to go about doing it?

I do SEO for online boutique marketplace. I've been here for about 4 weeks and no one's done there SEO (they've been around for about 5 years), so there's lots to do. A big concern is whether or not to submit a sitemap, and if I do submit one, what's the best way to go about doing one.

Technical guide for Setting up a CDN to host our images, as well as creating an image sitemap, and setting up the CDN in GWT?

Hi All! We're thinking of setting up a CDN to host our images with a CNAME on a subdomain of our site. In terms of SEO, I was wondering if any of you knew of a pretty complete technical guide for setting it all up. Including whether or not we need to create an image sitemap, and setting it up in GWT. Thanks in advance! Vince

Image & Video Sitemaps - Submitted vs. Indexed

Hi Mozzers, I have read all the relevant blogs from media indexing experts like Phil Nottingham and have followed Google's best practice as well as advice from similar discussions on here. We have submitted video and image sitemaps to WT, and the image sitemap has 33 indexed from 720 submitted images, and the video 170 indexed from 738 submitted. With the image sitemap the number (33) has remained steady while the submitted has grown by over 100 in the last month. The video has shown signs of indexing new videos however but still not the amount that were submitted. Thus far, I have followed the guidelines sitemap structure as per Google. We are using Cloudfront so I have added and verified our cloudfront server in the same WT account. If anyone has any advice, it would be most appreciated. There is no duplicate content and the robots.txt is not blocking anything within the sitemap. Image sitemap: view-source:http://www.clowdy.com/sitemap.images.xml

When is the best time to submit a sitemap?

What changes to a website constitute resubmitting a sitemap? For example, if I add new in-site links, should I then resubmit? Or is it more for changes to URLs, Page titles, etc?
