Is Bing worth it?

I've been jumping through hoops with Bing for a couple of months now and they have sent me zero traffic.

Now they say they want me to submit a site map and I don't know how?

Will they even send me traffic? Does anybody get traffic from Bing?

Is it worth the effort to submit a site map?

    I get 70% of my traffic from Google, 20% from Facebook, 5% from unknown, and <5% from Bing.

    So for ME it's not worth it, but the more traffic sources the better and until you know for your niche, it may be worth it...

      I have to concur that Bing, at least right now, is not worth much. An infinitesimal amount of traffic comes from there to my sites. I don't think many use it, to be honest. Maybe that will change someday?

      Best,

        if your niche is female...bing possible could outperform google at reduced price. But if your just selling info products bing will just tie up your money and time.

    Bing has been reliable. The bigger advertizing websites think they can do whatever they want.

    My first ad on Bing was locked out, they thought I was a robot.

    Apparently robots take a few hours to create one ad. Haha

    Bing traffic sucks.

    Wasted $100 on bing PPC few month back, not a dime was made.

    I think it wouldn't hurt you use both - Google and Bing. I like the idea shared by others that they use the 80/20 strategy. They use 80% for Google and 20% for other search engines. Others achieved good results with Bing while others did not so it would still really depend on you.

    Bing's market share is about 20% and the ranking do not fluctuate as much as google.

    You cannot ignore it.
