Why has my website been removed from Bing?
-
my site https://worldunscrambler.net/ is brand new... never registered before I checked the history and can confirm that.....Google index my site but bing gives me an error..
The inspected URL is known to Bing but has some issues which are preventing indexation. We recommend you follow Bing Webmaster Guidelines to increase your chances of indexation.
I don't know why they are doing this to me... I am very frustrated and don't know how to fix that... I contact bing support many times through the search console but they are not replying to me....
if anyone has the solution please please help me out.

@lindsey-steinkamp My website www.cilacap.info has been running for 3 years this month, but 1 month ago when my website was approved on Bing News, Bing said it had to wait another 2-3 weeks for it to appear on Bing News.
But it's been more than 3 weeks and it doesn't show up and my website was deleted right when my website was approved on bing news.
When asked to Bing I was not satisfied with their explanation, because they said that since the last time my website was crawled it did not comply with Bing standards.

I have the same issue. Suddenly I lost my website traffic from bing for this website https://watchinorder.com/
If someone has any fix, so please share.
Thank you. -
I know this is an old thread but recently I am in the same boat. Have used no black hat seo, and fully comply with bing webmaster guidelines. One day stopped getting bing traffic. Looked and my site was no longer listed.
The response from bing was the same "comply with guidelines, we can't tell you more"
After doing some research I have seen that this has happened to thousands of websites, some of which were 20 years old. I've also come to the conclusion there is not much you can do about it besides reach out to bing and hope you get the right site auditor.
In my case it happened immediately after switching from rank math to seopress so it may be seo related. I noticed seopress was indexing categories and tags which maybe what the problem was because then pages get indexes multiple times and it looks like duplicate content.
I've now set them to no index so we will see but I have little hope.

I noticed 3 of the sites listed here has GeneratePress as the theme. I use that theme as well. Makes me wonder if it's the theme causing problems.

I am facing a similar issue with my website. Everything was working fine till May, and then I changed the theme. Within a few days, my entire website was deindexed from Bing, Yahoo, and other search partners. I don't know why that happened.
I have reverted the theme to the same one I was using before May, and still, nothing works!Here is the URL to my website https://trickkas.com
Can somebody please check what's wrong with it? I have tried contacting Bing support, but they don't tell me the issue.
Thank you so much for your time!

Hi
Facing same issue. My website is sportshoesnow

Hi Lindsey,
They are not the same, but the contractors from Bing that were behind the quality check at that time could have marked that page as duplicative. I saw that happened on Google. Also, I think the issue could be that these two pages look alike in terms of design, and folks from Bing might think there is no reason to have these two pages in the SERPS because they look very similar. They cannot tell the exact issue because you will reverse engineer the problem.

Hi Ross,
The website you're referencing is the hospital foundation, a non-profit organization that seeks to raise money for the hospital. It is associated with the hospital but is a separate entity, so they aren't one and the same. I do see what you mean by the similarity in website design, but the content itself is very different so I'm not sure that would cause the issue? Thank you for your help.

Hi there,
I believe they think that your website is impersonating this website https://www.pardeehospitalfoundation.org
To be honest they look quite similar. Are those two businesses are own by the same company?

Website copying in Tweets from Twitter
Just noticed a web developer I work with has been copying tweets into the website - and these are displayed (and saved) one page at a time across hundreds of pages (this is so they can populate a twitter feed, I am told). How would you tackle this, now that the deed's been done? This is in Drupal. Your thoughts would be welcome as this is a new one to me. Thanks, Luke

Duplicate content on recruitment website
Hi everyone, It seems that Panda 4.2 has hit some industries more than others. I just started working on a website, that has no manual action, but the organic traffic has dropped massively in the last few months. Their external linking profile seems to be fine, but I suspect usability issues, especially the duplication may be the reason. The website is a recruitment website in a specific industry only. However, they posts jobs for their clients, that can be very similar, and in the same time they can have 20 jobs with the same title and very similar job descriptions. The website currently have over 200 pages with potential duplicate content. Additionally, these jobs get posted on job portals, with the same content (Happens automatically through a feed). The questions here are: How bad would this be for the website usability, and would it be the reason the traffic went down? Is this the affect of Panda 4.2 that is still rolling What can be done to resolve these issues? Thank you in advance.

Should I delete 100s of weak posts from my website?
I run this website: http://knowledgeweighsnothing.com/ It was initially built to get traffic from Facebook. The vast majority of the 1300+ posts are shorter curation style posts. Basically I would find excellent sources of information and then do a short post highlighting the information and then link to the original source (and then post to FB and hey presto 1000s of visitors going through my website). Traffic was so amazing from FB at the time, that 'really stupidly' these posts were written with no regard for search engine rankings. When Facebook reach etc dropped right off, I started writing full original content posts to gain more traffic from search engines. I am starting to get more and more traffic now from Google etc, but there's still lots to improve. I am concerned that the shortest/weakest posts on the website are holding things back to some degree. I am considering going through the website and deleting the very weakest older posts based on their quality/backlinks and PA. This will probably run into 100s of posts. Is it detrimental to delete so weak many posts from a website? Any and all advice on how to proceed would be greatly recieved.

Removing UpperCase URLs from Indexing
This search - site:www.qjamba.com/online-savings/automotix gives me this result from Google: Automotix online coupons and shopping - Qjamba

https://www.qjamba.com/online-savings/automotix
Online Coupons and Shopping Savings for Automotix. Coupon codes for online discounts on Vehicles & Parts products. and Google tells me there is another one, which is 'very simliar'. When I click to see it I get: Automotix online coupons and shopping - Qjamba
https://www.qjamba.com/online-savings/Automotix
Online Coupons and Shopping Savings for Automotix. Coupon codes for online discounts on Vehicles & Parts products. This is because I recently changed my program to redirect all urls with uppercase in them to lower case, as it appears that all lowercase is strongly recommended. I assume that having 2 indexed urls for the same content dilutes link juice. Can I safely remove all of my UpperCase indexed pages from Google without it affecting the indexing of the lower case urls? And if, so what is the best way -- there are thousands.0 -
Removing index.php
I have question for the community and whether or not this is a good or bad idea. I currently have a Joomla site that displays www.domain.com/index.php in all the URLs with the exception of the home page. I have read that it's better to not have index.php showing in the URL at all. Does it really matter if I have index.php in my URL? I've read that it is a bad practice. I am thinking about installing the sh404SEF component on my site and removing the index.php. However, I rank pretty high for the keywords I want in Google, Bing and Yahoo. All of the URLs that show up in the searches have index.php as part of the URL. Has anyone ever used sh404SEF to remove the index.php and how did you overcome not loosing your search engine links? I don't want an existing search showing www.domain.com/index.php/sales and it not linking to the correct page which would now be www.domain.com/sales. I guess I could insert the proper redirects in the htaccess file. But I was hoping to avoid having every page of my site in the htaccess file for redirecting. Any help or advice appreciated.

Splitting one Website into 2 Different New Websites with 301 redirects, help?
Here's the deal. My website stbands.com does fairly well. The only issue it is facing a long term branding crisis. It sells custom products and sporting goods. We decided that we want to make a sporting goods website for the retail stuff and then a custom site only focusing on the custom stuff. One website transformed and broken into 2 new ones, with two new brand names. The way we are thinking about doing this is doing a lot of 301 redirects, but what do we do with the homepage (stbands.com) and what is the best practice to make sure we don't lose traffic to the categories, etc.? Which new website do we 301 the homepage to? It's rough because for some keywords we rank 3 or 4 times on the first page. Scary times, but something must be done for the long term. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. We are set for a busy next few months 🙂

Website stuck on the second page
Hi there Can you please help me. I did some link building and worked with website last couple of months and rank got better but all keywords are on the second page, some of them are 11th and 12th. Is there anything I did wrong and google dont allow the website on the first page? Or should I just go on. It just looks strange keywords are on the second page for 2 weeks and not going to the first page for any single day. The website is quite old, around 10 years. Anyone knows what it is or where I can read about it?
