Bing Webmaster requires you to add a line of code into the <head> section of your default page like this:
<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="E684156ED95074C64379F9DE8Efxdsxds" />
It would be helpful if Moonfruit can support this within the "Admin -> Site Information" tab. Should be very easy to be implemented.
Comments
I have encountered the same problem with Bing Webmaster. So Moonfruit, how do we register our site with Bing if we can't verify ownership?
Hi,
Verification with search engines other than Google is something that we should be looking at once the Blog and Shop are completed. However, Bing will still quite happily index an unverified site.
HTH,
Gary
Following up on the above comment. This is what you get when you try and register with Yahoo or Bing now
"With the completion of algorithmic transition to Bing, Yahoo! Search has merged Site Explorer into Bing Webmaster Tools. Webmasters should now be using the Bing Webmaster Tools to ensure that their websites continue to get high quality organic search traffic from Bing and Yahoo!."
Other than having to add a CNAME Record on to the domain, which is OK if you have access to the domain control panel, there is no other way to register the domain and verify the account. When will you be adding the capability to add a tag on the head section or adding a system like you have for Google?
This is something that Moonfruit urgently needs to adapt to. Otherwise I am sure that myself and many other users will soon leave. You must be able to find a similar solution as you did with google analytics, etc.
I completely agree with the above comments. It would be of great help to have a wider range of search engines that I could index my site on. Google isn't the only one out there!
Moonfruit, come on, your Blog and Shop are up and running now, get to work guys, and maybe I'll upgrade my service.....
Moonfruit is going great guys, but as I'm sure you know if you don't keep up to date then other sites will fill the gap.
Verification for bing is urgently needed otherwise people will go else where and I'd hate to see that happen. Moonfruit is so user friendly and helpful and I'd like to stay.
Hi,
It looks like Bing have recently introduced CNAME verification - if you have a domain name with us, we'll be happy to set up the required record for you.
HTH,
Gary
If you can that would be fantastic, the domain name bought through you is www.landrakeband.co.uk
Again thanks for all the hard work put into moonfruit its going great, recommended to me and definately one I will recommend on.
Hi,
That won't be a problem - all we need is for you to let us know the unique record that they generate for your domain name. We can do the rest from here.
HTH,
Gary
Ok cool the info they give is.....
Hi,

Question - A lot of people seem interested in bing webmaster tool's. If I can ask - How does it differ, and how is this better, then google webmaster tools/analytics?
Hi. Could you kindly add my web address too please?
www.summeroutfitter.com
Add CNAME (alias) record with name e8d4a4775a5744e9f06f69f8f00ffcc4 and value verify.bing.com.
So your DNS provider will resolve host e8d4a4775a5744e9f06f69f8f00ffcc4.summeroutfitter.com to verify.bing.com.
Thank you for your help....

Hi Gary,
I assume that you can do the same for Alexa? If yes, I would like to index it for www.knowitall-london.com with:
nqmoeCP1lvJsvEQeMo9b8uRzq_c
Sorry, it seems for Alexa it will have to be this one, as they want the site it is being directed to, then this is for www.knowitall-london.co.uk:

Thank you!
Hi Moonfruit Team,
Would it possible to add / upload a verification ID for Alexa (the web information company) into the head section of my home page livingmilk.net, or perhaps tell me how it can be done with an html snippet, for example?
Thanks in advance,
Simon
Hi Gary
Please can you add mine as well: www.webformers.co.uk
Add CNAME (alias) record with name 87ec96cb83b1a409f40df3f7b7a8164e and value verify.bing.com. So your DNS provider will resolve host 87ec96cb83b1a409f40df3f7b7a8164e.webformers.co.uk to verify.bing.com.

Hi,
I have added CNAME records for:
purelystone.com
knowitall-london.com
knowitall-london.co.uk
webformers.co.uk
I'm afraid I couldn't set the Alexa record up, because you didn't include the address that it should resolve to.
HTH,
Gary
Gary,
Could you clarify for me what you mean by the address that it should resolve to, please?
I have the verification code: TODgY8iIQLOMEQtzOMXGGAHPa-o
Simon
Hi Simon,
Apologies; that was actually aimed at the post above yours. It would seem that Alexa offer the option to create a CNAME record to prove ownership of your domain name. If you can let us know the details that they want you to use, we can set it up.
HTH,
Gary
Hi Gary
Please can you set up the Alexa record for www.webformers.co.uk - my verfication code is tXlgCAoXaDeZbg9PJXE08xgJSbg
