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!

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.

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 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 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?

Panda penalty removal advice
Hi everyone! I'm after a second (or third, or fourth!) opinion here! I'm working on the website www.workingvoices.com that has a Panda penalty dating from the late March 2012 update. I have made a number of changes to remove potential Panda issues but haven't seen any rankings movement in the last 7 weeks and was wondering if I've missed something... The main issues I identified and fixed were: Keyword stuffed near duplicate title tags - fixed with relevant unique title tags Copies of the website on other domains creating duplicate content issues - fixed by taking these offline Thin content - fixed by adding content to some pages, and noindexing other thin/tag/category pages. Any thoughts on other areas of the site that might still be setting off the mighty Panda are appreciated! Cheers Damon.

Does Google throttle back the search performance of a penalised website/page after the penalty has been removed?
Hi Mozzers. Back in 2013 my website www.octopus-hr.co.uk was hit by a Penguin 2.0 penalty owing to a harmful backlink profile built by a dodgy SEO consultant (now fired). The penalty seemed to apply to the homepage of the site but other pages were unaffected. We got what links we could removed, disavowed the rest and were informed in September 2013 that the penalty had been removed and our re-inclusion request had been successful. However our website homepage still ranks poorly for the search terms we're targeting in the UK: "HR Software" "HR Systems" On page factors are in my opinion pretty well optimised for these search terms. In terms of link building post penalty we've focused on high authority and relevant sites. I believe that compared to most of our search competitors the back link profile to our homepage is in pretty good shape, however it still ranks badly. Has anyone had any experience of a penalty hangover from Google in the past? Are there other things I should consider? Thanks David
