Why has my website been removed from Bing?
-
I have a website that has recently been removed from Bing's index, but can't figure out why. The website isn't new, and it is indexed just fine on Google. These are the steps I've tried:
- The website is verified in Bing Webmaster Tools and successfully submitted the sitemap.
- I tested the URL to ensure that Bingbot is allowed to crawl the site
- I submitted URLs to Bing via the URL Submission tool
- There isn't a "noindex" on the site preventing it from being indexed
- When I do a URL Inspection, an error message comes up saying "The inspected URL is known to Bing but has some issues which are preventing us from serving it to our users. We recommend you to follow Bing Webmaster Guidelines."
- I contacted Bing to ask whether the website was removed in error, but received a reply that the website doesn't comply with Bing's quality guidelines, but they wouldn't go into detail as to which guidelines the website isn't meeting.
The website URL is https://www.pardeehospital.org.
Can anyone offer any advice or insight as to why Bing won't index our site? Thank you!

I am facing the same issue with my Nepal chat website https://nepalchat.xyz
Though I have tried to resubmit it, let's see what happens, will update it here. -
Same problem here with my site buzzfrance.fr.
It's been de-indexed from Bing for a year now. It's a high-quality website with a lot of traffic (now coming almost exclusively from Google) and some of my users are complaining that they can't find it on Bing.
I have been contacting the wemaster support about this for a year and I have no answer. It's really outrageous that they remove so many legitimate sites from the index automatically without any reason. I know other people to whom it happened, same story.

@YvMih Hi would you please tell me how the problem was resolved?

Hi!!
You can close this ticket. the problem has been solved!!
Thank you.Regards

@specialblogger I have checked your website in Bing and it is still showing some results have been removed.
Are you still getting traffic from Bing? -
My website durgachalisa.co.in was showing indexing problems in Bing too. But now I think, everything is okay. Sometimes, Bing rectifies itself, it takes time. Or else, you can contact them directly.

It has been around 3 years to my website https://windowsclassroom.com got deindexed from bing. It came back several times but got disappeared after some days.
Some days before it got some impression but no clicks. Now again no impression and no clicks.
When I checked my websmaster, it is showing some of URLs in indexed list but when I check it in Bing search, it is showing "some results have been removed".Now I have no hope that it will ever come back.
-
My website https://hesem.com.vn removed by Bing without any reason too. I searched internet to find out problem but no luck.

@ShopEnergy ...Hello, just curious. Where did you get the data from? Both my sites were deindexed by Bing and have issues to correct. I got this response from Bing recently...
"Thank you for your patience!
After further review, it appears that your site http://internettvdotcom.com/ did not meet the standards set by Bing the last time it was crawled.
Bing constantly prioritizes the content to be indexed that will drive highest users satisfaction. Please follow Bing Webmaster Guidelines to better understand criteria for most valuable content."Bing Webmaster Tools shows URLs with Crawling Issues (dead link - http 404-410) and URLs with other Issues...
cdn.internettvdotcom.com (URL /root) which points to Cloudflare, internettvdotcom.com (my site) with various URLs,
and shop.internettvdotcom.com (shows many URLs). This was a sub-domain store that I removed and deleted. -
After almost 2 years of being out of the Bing index, I am finally back in and getting impressions. Here's what I did.
I removed an above fold ad. Right after that was removed, the site was instantly crawled and indexed, but I didn't receive any impressions or clicks. The number of indexed pages rose, then went back down to zero.
Then I noticed that in the SEO Reports on Bing Webmaster tools, it said I had multiple meta description tags. The SEO Framework plugin was causing this issue with my GeneratePress theme. So, I removed SEO Framework and replaced it with Yoast.
Three days later I am getting indexed again on Bing. I now have impressions and clicks for my site.
If you're struggling, I'd say check your ads above the fold, and make sure your HTML is valid and meta data isn't duplicated.
Hope this helps somebody.

I once had the same un-indexing issue for zehlm.com on Bing and here is what I had to do.
- I checked the page for valid code and other errors,
- Re-indexed in bing webmaster console,
- Updated my sitemap and re-submitted,
- Checked robots.txt file for blocks,
This usually works, but this particular time it didn't even work. I simply had to email the webmasters at Bing/Microsoft and explain the issues and they fixed the problem quickly. Could have been an attack. Could have been a Bing server error. I do know that after connecting the website to Cloudflare, I have never seen the problem again.
-
My website (https://fileion.com) also got deindexed by Bing. I don't why. I have tried everything that I could. Even I have drafted all my posts to check if any thing happens or not. But nothing happens. It is still deindexed by it. If any one knows the solution to it. Please reply to me.

Facing exactly the same issue all of a sudden! My website is Web Guided – https://webguided.com/ if anyone has any solution!
-
Just to add another dissatisfied user here - we have a website (ledburypoetry.org.uk) which, as far as I can tell, does not violate the Bing guidelines and preforms well in Google but I was mystified when a friend said she could not find it at all. I noted she was using Edge/Bing (yuk!) and even the exact URL produced no results. So we tried Google and found it at once at the top of page 1. I created a Bing webmaster account and likewise discovered that the URL was delisted in Bing because it "didn't conform to their guidelines" (no further explanation). I don't object to sites being downgraded for poor design etc, but they shouldn't be blocked altogether! My requests to relist it have gone nowhere.

Our website [https://www.hoichoi.tv](link url) also gets de-indexed
-
my sites https://governmentoffice.us/ and https://postaloffices.us/ has been removed. Not sure for what reason. But I have added some affiliate banners recenty. Did nothing other than this on websites.
Sent a email to support. Lets see if anything I get back in reply. -

I believe there is a problem with Bing - it seems to be removing websites that are completely legit.
Didn't know about the problem until it affected my sites, then started googling a bit.
Here's my full report - updated as I get more info/feedback:https://io.bikegremlin.com/28530/microsoft-bing-serp-gone-overnight/
-
My website was previously properly indexed on Bing and I was getting in regular Top search results and also enjoying enough visitors on my website greedandfearindex.com but from recent few weeks, my website experienced an instant downfall in impressions and soon turned to zero.
Instead, I regular post my articles on my website and submitting it on Google and Bing.
Google smoothly indexes my articles webpages, but Bing sometimes indexes and some times says, "The inspected URL is known to Bing but has some issues which are preventing indexation. We recommend you to follow Bing Webmaster Guidelines to increase your chances of indexation." However instead of Indexing, any of my webpages did not appear in of Bing SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) and also have a zero impression.
I approached for ticket to get details on why my website got deindexed, it said issues will be resolved and will reply back to me within 10 days. Today, it passed more than a month, and I still waiting for their loveletter.
-
My sites have been as well - pocketables and theitbaby.
22 year old site, 9 year old site. Attempts to get an answer were basically that they asked the techs to research it, they were not given an answer other than that something was wrong, they couldn't tell me what was wrong, wouldn't keep the case open, and I should completely redesign my sites and maybe in 2-3 months Bing would index them again.
Took weeks to get that wonderful bit of advice... two tickets I had opened, one for each site. One was abandoned by the people, the other that even though I'm not going against any of their webmaster guidelines that I needed to redo everything.
-
I am also facing the same issue with my website. Everything was working perfectly, but now from past few days, my whole website was removed from Bing and Yahoo search . I don't know what is the reason behind this?
The URL of my website is https://www.updatedreviews.in/
Can someone please let me know what's wrong with my website?
Thank you so much in advance!

My website was also deindexed by bing, and I'm not sure why. (costcofdb.com)
My traffic just fell off a cliff and I'm not sure what I need to do next to get it back.
-
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 also facing the same issue.

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.
Lindsey

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?

Google cache from my website give another website
Hello, Some time ago, I already asked a question here because my homepage disappeared from Google for our main keyword. One of the problems that we showing up was the Google cache. If you look to the cache of the website www.conseilfleursdebach.fr, you see that it show the content of www.lesfleursdebach.be. It's both our website, but one is focus on France and the other one on Belgium. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Awww.conseilfleursdebach.fr&oq=cach&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j0j69i60j0l2.1374j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Before, there were flags on the page to go to the other country, but in the meantime I removed all links from the .fr to the .be and opposite. This is ongoing since January. Who has an idea of what can cause this and most of all, what do do? Kind regards, Tine

Keyword Stuffing - Ecommerce websites
Hey Mozzers, Im undertaking a content audit and its going very well, we have written some better content for the first set of pages, it still needs some improvement but we have a good base and starting point from which we can make an SEO log and work on it over time. For the content I used the following formula for how many times to include a keyword Word Count / Length of Keyword. (eg. 600 words / 3 word keyword = 200). Then 1-4% of this (2-8 times). This has worked well for me in the past and has been a good base guide. I have ran the pages through Moz optimiser and every single page hit an A for keyword page optimisation. However many of the pages failed on keyword stuffing, which obviously has high priority. My dilemma is that, moz counts 15 as the cut off for keyword stuffing with the written text we have done really well with using it a set number of times. But these pages are product category pages. The keyword in the extreme of cases is listed 7-9 times in the side nav menu. 7-9 times in the product category listings. Take for example *** it is optimised for thermometers (i know it a tough single word keyword, and we have fairly modest aims with it, im using it here for example purposes). The word is used a good number of times within the article but is sent through the roof with the links to the sub categories. This page for example mentions the keyword 30 times. Can anybody suggest any ways to improve on this? Is how we display the categories in the nav bar and in the page excessive? As always many thanks!

Moving half my website to a new website: 301?
Good Morning! We currently have two websites which are driving all of our traffic. Our end goal is to combine the two and fold them into each other. Can I redirect the duplicate content from one domain to our main domain even though the URL's are different. Ill give an example below. (The domains are not the real domains). The CEO does not want to remove the other website entirely yet, but is willing to begin some sort of consolidation process. ABCaddiction.com is the main domain which covers everything from drug addiction to dual diagnosis treatment. ABCdualdiagnosis.com is our secondary website which covers everything as well. Can I redirect the entire drug addiction half of the website to ABCaddiction.com? With the eventual goal of moving everything together.

Un Natural Links Removal Strategy
Hi All, I want to discuss one of my strategy that i applied on my website to dilute the value of TOXIC links those are coming on my website. Issue: Poor, Spam quality links were created for the home page and some inner pages. Google considered those links Unnatural and took manual action All rankings were disappeared Strategy Deleted all landing pages those are over linked from spam websites. Created new landing pages with some modifications and new content. Because home page(index.html) was also penalized by Google, i made the changes in index.html and put no follow no index tag so that bad links value couldn't pass from index.html to other inner pages (Newly created pages and pages those were not over optimized). Created new index.php page. Give option to the user to the Enter the Website from Index.html (Default Home Page) to index.php. Blocked all bad URLs (Un Natural Links) through .htaccess file. When user or Google bot will come through those blocked URLs (Un Natural Links), server responses 403 (Access Denied). The domain for which i did above experiment is http://www.thebaildepot.com/index.php Now, i have doubts on below points: Blocking unnatural links (403, access denied) from .htaccess file will really work? No follow no index to default page and than give option to the user to navigate to newly create index.php I did this experiment around 10 days before still rankings are not coming in Google top 100.

Removing Duplicate Page Content
Since joining SEOMOZ four weeks ago I've been busy tweaking our site, a magento eCommerce store, and have successfully removed a significant portion of the errors. Now I need to remove/hide duplicate pages from the search engines and I'm wondering what is the best way to attack this? Can I solve this in one central location, or do I need to do something in the Google & Bing webmaster tools?
