Hi Everyone,

So one of my website, was submitted to both, google and bing at the same time for indexing,

Google has indexed over 1000 pages now, which is great,

however bing lacks behind with just 50 pages indexed? I think that I could be pulling more traffic from bing search if my pages were in there,

Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance

You can join the Microsoft webmaster tools and probably speed up your Bing indexing.

Thanks Bart, I did this already, and I feel as though I've submitted all my pages, it says that over 1k are submitted, any reason they're not coming up in the searches?

Bing is slower than Google. Give it a week, if you're not there still there may be other issues.

Bing has a different algorithm set than Google. Search engines each work differently. Bing is slow and potentially it's possible not to crawl enough of your website, they manage to crawl much less than Google in general.
