		<description><![CDATA[A friend recently pointed me toward an article that says &#8220;SEO is Dead&#8221; because of the rise of Social Media Optimization, or SMO. The article is wrong, and here&#8217;s why: First, search traffic is still growing. People still use search to find products and services, background information, reviews, and competitive pricing. People may get ideas [...]]]></description>

Simply go to http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?sitemap=www.YourWebAddress.com/sitemap.xml, replacing &#8220;www.YourWebAddress.com/sitemap.xml&#8221; with your website&#8217;s sitemap URL. Unfortunately this method provides no feedback about the success of processing your sitemap or if errors were encountered. The more advanced method is to utilize Bing Webmaster Tools.
