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.

Hi,
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!

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

Website completely delisted - reasons?
Hi, I got a request from a potential client as he do not understand why his website cannot be found on Google. I've checked that and found out that the complete website is not listed (complete delist) at all - expect just one pdf file.

I've checked his robots.txt - but this is ok. I've checked the META Robots - but they are on index,follow ... ok so far. I've checked his backlinks but could not found any massive linking from bad pages - just 6 backlinks and only four of them from designdomains.com which looks like a linklist or so. I've requested access to their GWT account if available in hope to find more infos, but does anyone of you may have a quick idea what els it could be? What could be the issue? I think that they got delisted due to any bad reason ... Let me know your Ideas 🙂 THANX 🙂 Sebi0 -
Any SEO Penalties from Removing RSS Feed?
Hi, I have a site that has a Feedburner feed that has been in place for 5+ years. I am considering getting rid of the feed or starting a new one to combat content scraping. Google continues to rank thieves' sites ahead of mine. Google and Bing have no issue and always get it right. I use Wordpress and have the plugin PubSubHubb, but that is no guarantee. Nonetheless, there is no monetary value of my subscribers whereas the content not being accredited to me takes money out of my pocket as my model is advertising. Is there any SEO issue if I do any of the following: Delete the feed and not have one? Change the feed address and drop all subscribers? Attachments: DMCA Dashboard; example of being outranked by scrapers. My site: www.furniturefashion.com Thanks for your time and hopefully I did not vent too much. OWmou6k f6W3xkq.png

Archiving a festival website - subdomain or directory?
Hi guys I look after a festival website whose program changes year in and year out. There are a handful of mainstay events in the festival which remain each year, but there are a bunch of other events which change each year around the mainstay programming.This often results in us redoing the website each year (a frustrating experience indeed!) We don't archive our past festivals online, but I'd like to start doing so for a number of reasons 1. These past festivals have historical value - they happened, and they contribute to telling the story of the festival over the years. They can also be used as useful windows into the upcoming festival. 2. The old events (while no longer running) often get many social shares, high quality links and in some instances still drive traffic. We try out best to 301 redirect these high value pages to the new festival website, but it's not always possible to find a similar alternative (so these redirects often go to the homepage) Anyway, I've noticed some festivals archive their content into a subdirectory - i.e. www.event.com/2012 However, I'm thinking it would actually be easier for my team to archive via a subdomain like 2012.event.com - and always use the www.event.com URL for the current year's event. I'm thinking universally redirecting the content would be easier, as would cloning the site / database etc. My question is - is one approach (i.e. directory vs. subdomain) better than the other? Do I need to be mindful of using a subdomain for archival purposes? Hope this all makes sense. Many thanks!

Removing dashes in our URLs?
Hi Forum, Our site has an errant product review module that is resulting in about 9-10 404 errors per day on Google Webmaster Tools. We've found that by changing our product page URLs to only include 2 dashes, the module stops causing 404 errors for that page. Does changing our URL from "oursite.com/girls-pink-yoga-capri.html" to "oursite.com/girlspink-yoga-capri.html" hurt our SEO for a search for "girls pink yoga capri"? If so, by how much (assuming everthing else on the page is optimized properly) Thanks for your input.

There's a website I'm working with that has a .php extension. All the pages do. What's the best practice to remove the .php extension across all pages?
Client wishes to drop the .php extension on all their pages (they've got around 2k pages). I assured them that wasn't necessary. However, in the event that I do end up doing this what's the best practices way (and easiest way) to do this? This is also a WordPress site. Thanks.
