Getting found online

As an experiment I submitted the URL for the latest post on my business blog (https://billbennett.co.nz/ia-presenter-launch/) to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Bing had the link online instantly… I searched and found it on the search engine in less than 60 seconds. DuckDuckGo had it well inside another 30 seconds (probably instantaneous). It’s 30 minutes since I posted it to Google and still nothing.

That doesn’t make Bing better, it does mean Bing is responsive.

On a related note… in the last week my site got about 20 per cent of its traffic from Facebook… I haven’t had a Facebook presence in more than a decade.
