IndexNow attributed for 7% of all new URLs clicked on in Bing in the past month

7 percent of the new URLs that were clicked on within Bing Search in the past month were generated by IndexNow. indexnow API, Fabrice Canel from Microsoft said to Search Engine Land. In actual fact, IndexNow has grown a quite a bit, with over 16 million websites using IndexNow and publishing more than 1.2 billion URLs daily through indexnow. IndexNow API.

IndexNow’s growth. In February 2022, IndexNow has grown to include millions of sites through integration with Duda the All-in-One WordPress SEO plugin, and the SEO plugin Rank Math. Microsoft has released an easy-to-use WordPress extension for indexNow and Google confirmed that it was conducting tests with this method. In Feb 2022 Microsoft stated that over 80,000 web sites are currently using IndexNow to handle URL submission.In March 2022, SEOPress introduced integration creating the platform for additional 200,000 websites. On June 1, Yoast SEO also added support for IndexNow, giving easy access to many WordPress websites to activate the feature. When these providers integrated IndexNow and gaining millions of sites that were adopting IndexNow within a few weeks after IndexNow was first launched. We are now at more than 16 million websites that use IndexNow.

This year in the year 2000, earlier this year, the Czech web search machine Seznam.cz adopted IndexNow.

What exactly is IndexNow. IndexNow offers a way for owners of websites to immediately notify search engines of the new content updates on their websites. IndexNow uses a simple Ping protocol that lets search engines are aware that a URL’s content has been updated, added either updated or removed and allows index engines to instantly show this information in their results. IndexNow’s co-sharing feature of IndexNow was fully operational in January 2022.

Integrations. Why? Microsoft created its own plugin to enable WordPress sites . To use IndexNow, Yoast decided to integrate it into the premium version of its plugin. What was the reason Yoast include it in the first place? “The most recent change in the protocol’s design is the 2nd significant advancement that has made us rethink our opinions regarding IndexNow. IndexNow’s IndexNow team modified the endpoint of the API instead of pinging every individual supported indexing engine, to one API that is managed via the Protocol. The result is that search engines need only connect to a single website and this makes the process more efficient. This is all part of our definition of a long-lasting indexing and crawling solution, which is why now is the best right time to put in IndexNow by integrating it into Yoast SEO,” the company said in its announcement.

Google supports? It’s not there yet. Google in the past year stated that it was conducting tests with IndexNow however, since then it hasn’t said much about IndexNow. There were speculations that Google will not accept this protocol , but as we’ve observed in the world of search changes happen quickly and frequently.

Why we are concerned. Like we said previously the instant indexing feature is a dream for SEOs in terms of giving search engines the most up-to-date information on a website. This is a very easy process and requires only a little developer effort to incorporate this feature to your site and it is logical to incorporate this method in case you are concerned about speedy indexing.

Plus Microsoft stated that it is “working to make use of IndexNow signals in order to enhance our machine learning platform for crawling.” The fall of this year Microsoft stated that it plans to “crawl web pages that’ve embraced IndexNow with clearly defined content change signals to perform more efficiently, resulting in quicker updates and less crawl.”
