You might have a great social media profile, but what about your search profile? When people search for you online, does the search engine direct them to the most relevant links? Try searching for your name and find out. If you feel that your search profile is not impressive enough, there is a way you can improve it. Bing has launched a new tool called ‘Linked Pages’ using which you can spruce up your search profile and control how you show up on the search engine.
To get started, go to bing.com/linkedpages. Log-in with your Facebook ID and grant Bing permission to post to Facebook. Search for yourself. Try including the name of your city, school, or employer to find more results and then start linking. You can include links to your social media profiles, blog, organizations you’re associated with, activities you’re involved with or just the sites you like. When searches for you, they’ll not only see trusted results from Bing, but also the pages and sites you’ve linked. You can also help your friends show up better on Bing by just searching for a friend and adding link pages about them.
You have full control over what results you’re linked in. Simply follow the link notification from Facebook or go to bing.com/linkedpages to remove links you added or links your friends added about you. You have to give Bing permission to start linking pages and can disable the application in Facebook anytime.
