Google Search Console

I submitted the verification request for Google Search Console three days ago at 6:00 PM (almost simultaneously with Bing Webmaster Tools).

Currently, Google Search Console is already displaying some data within its administrative dashboard.

However, Bing Webmaster Tools consistently prompts me to check back in 48 hours.

Shown below is the Google Search Console page, indicating that it has received one click.

Bing Search Engine

Why I say Google Search Console is excellent, while Bing Webmaster Tools and its search engine are garbage:

The Google search engine indexed the homepage of my new Astro-based blog site almost overnight—making it fully searchable—and, notably, it features no ads.

But—and this is a huge “but”!!!—the Bing search engine not only failed to index my homepage (returning absolutely no results), but it also forcibly displayed three advertisements instead.

I consulted an AI about this, and it confirmed that the ads Bing displayed were completely unrelated to my search query; it was simply and deliberately filling the empty space with its own advertisements.

It is worth noting that I initially believed Bing to be superior to Google. Consequently, I consistently prioritized manually submitting my URLs, sitemaps, and IndexNow requests to Bing—meticulously adhering to all of Bing’s specific requirements in the hope of achieving rapid indexing.

In contrast, I treated Google with a much more casual approach—merely tossing over my sitemap and performing a few perfunctory tasks. Yet, Google’s performance turned out to be a hundred times better than Bing’s—excelling in every aspect, from statistical reporting and indexing speed to the overall ad experience.

Note

Although Bing has left me feeling quite uncomfortable, I intend to continue testing and observing it.

I want to see how the Bing search engine experience evolves over time; if its performance remains consistently poor, I will simply abandon Bing and focus exclusively on Google.
