Why is my site crawled so much more in Bing then in Google?
-
I recently setup Cloudflare so I can see how much my site is being crawled. It looks like Bing is crawling me about 3 times as much as Google. Any ideas on why that would be or what I should check?

Are you running paid search ads as well? If so, I usually notice Bing bot being very active at the beginning of a campaign.

I am running both Bing and Google ads. I turned the campaigns off for the two weeks around the holiday's and flipped them back on last Monday. maybe it will end up being equal over time. I still feel like my crawl is low. I am submitting 25k items on a sitemap but I am not hitting a 25k crawl.

It could settle. Also, there's a "crawl control" feature in Bing webmasters, if you haven't tried that yet.

I have taken a look at that and mine is set normal. I also checked Google and that is set to what they recommend.
