I am facing some issues with coreweb vitals as well as bing indexing, I have tried to let bing get the index of the site and with no reason it keeps getting nothing. I checked if it had the sitemap and it does, also checked robots.txt to see if there was a “no crawl” option, and there is nothing of sorts. . On the other hand, the host of the site changed from Hostinger to Wordpress. After that, the coreweb vitals section went to 0, it used to be very well. How can we fix that? any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!"47Views0likes2CommentsMy Website Suddenly Disappeared from Bing Index – No Errors, No Response from Support
Hey everyone, I’m facing a frustrating issue with Bing, and I could really use some help. My website suddenly disappeared from Bing’s index for no apparent reason. There are no warnings, no manual actions, and no crawl errors in Bing Webmaster Tools. I’ve already reached out to Bing support four times, but I haven’t received a single response. At this point, I don’t know what else to do. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get Bing to reindex the site or how to actually get a response from their support team? Would really appreciate any insights or suggestions! Thanks in advance. 🙏292Views1like12CommentsBing & Search in-Private mode
Why is it, when I do a search with bing on my mobile device (phone) while in private mode, the results show up out of private mode? No matter how many times I set it to stay in private mode, it will always show the results out of private mode..... You would think the results would show in-private mode, not out of private mode...

Hi everyone, we’re managing the SEO for our websitehttp:// https://artsoft.pt and we’ve identified a few URLs that we’d like to remove permanently from Bing’s search results. We’re aware of the temporary URL removal feature in Bing Webmaster Tools, and also of the possibility to block URLs using robots.txt. However, our question is: Is there a way to request permanent removal of specific URLs directly within Bing Webmaster Tools, without needing to use robots.txt or meta tags? We’d prefer a method that allows us to manage removals via the Webmaster interface for simplicity and transparency, especially for URLs that are no longer relevant or have been intentionally deindexed. Thanks in advance for your help!54Views0likes1CommentHow can we enhance the visibility of our event pages?

Hi Microsoft Community,been using Windows 7 color management settings to improve the accuracy of my monitor colors. I also used the Windows display calibration tool to fine-tune brightness, contrast, and gamma. While everything looks great in native Windows apps, noticed that some web-based tools like Trello seem to reflect these calibrated settings properly. Is there a limitation in how color management is applied to browser-based applications on Windows 7? Or is there any way to force consistent color profiles across all platforms, including Trello and other web services? https://sts-calibration.com/windows-7-display-calibration-ultimate-guide/ Any guidance or technical explanation would be much appreciated!10Views0likes0CommentsHow Accurate and Timely Is Bing at Indexing New Content.?

I use a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet to keep track of my Australian shares and Excel uses a datasource called Refinitiv which is the same source that Bing uses to do its graphs of stocks etc. The Refinitiv data source has not updated for the 16th of May's trading day and is still on the 15th of May when you look up a share eg. ASX:VAS, ASX: BHP etc etc.... Can someone contact Refinitiv and tell them something is broken in their system.Solved322Views2likes2CommentsManual cache on Bing search possible?
There's a site that originally had my name on it, but I no longer want to be associated with as I have left the organization. The site removed my name from the webpage directly, but Bing is still associating my name with the site, even though my name was removed from the webpage. Google updated their searches quickly but for Bing it has been 6 months. I tried to contact Bing to update this, since it's dealing with cached versions of the websites, but I keep getting generic responses about waiting to recrawl automatically. 6 months is a hilariously long time to re-crawl the websites especially for outdated information.26Views0likes0CommentsBing searches stopped rewarding for subsequent searches before reaching cap
I have made plenty of searches on Bing today. However, it only partially rewarded my initial search efforts, and further searches did not reward any points. For example, I'm currently capped at 20 out of 50 points as of Feb 13, 2024. The same thing happened in the last few days, when I got capped at 20 out of 50 points for those days as well. I am a long time user of Bing. This is the first time I've encountered this issue.5.4KViews1like9CommentsDoes Yahoo/Microsoft Bing Support Crawling BIBFRAME Data?
Hello, I would like to understand Yahoo/Microsoft Bing's support for crawling BIBFRAME data embedded in webpages. Specifically, I have the following questions: Does Yahoo/Microsoft Bing currently support crawling and indexing BIBFRAME content? If so, what are the requirements for proper indexing? How does Yahoo/Microsoft Bing advise to implement the BIBRAME in the webpages? Which version(s) of BIBFRAME does Yahoo/Microsoft Bing support? When searching for books, which keywords within the BIBFRAME structure can be used to retrieve the correct book URL? Is there an official test site or tool available to verify whether Yahoo/Microsoft Bing has indexed my BIBFRAME content? If BIBFRAME is not currently supported, does Yahoo/Microsoft Bing have any plans or a timeline for future support? What would be the best alternative to BIBFRAME for ensuring compatibility with Yahoo/Microsoft Bing's indexing system? Additionally, I would like to ask: Are there any recommended best practices to improve BIBFRAME indexing in Yahoo/Microsoft Bing Search? Can BIBFRAME be effectively used in combination with Schema.org to enhance visibility in search results? Are there any third-party tools or APIs available to test whether BIBFRAME data has been successfully crawled and indexed? Have libraries or academic institutions demonstrated successful implementations of BIBFRAME within Yahoo/Microsoft Bing's search ecosystem? If so, are there any case studies or examples? I would appreciate any insights or official documentation related to these questions. Thank you!39Views0likes0CommentsHappy Birthday, Give with Bing!

Hello Bing Team, I need urgent help regarding two Bing search results displaying personal or outdated information about me. LinkedIn snippet shows outdated information: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/tugbakalaman Bing still displays an old job title and company name, even though my LinkedIn profile was updated months ago. I tried using the content removal tool, but it didn’t work. Support told me the result may persist until Bing manually clears it. Bold.pro page contains personal address: https://ca.bold.pro/my/tugb This result shows my full home address and previous employment history, which I no longer want online. I do not use this profile anymore and urgently request its removal for privacy and safety reasons. I was directed here by Microsoft support to raise this issue for manual review. Please help me resolve this. Thank you for your time and support.309Views0likes0Commentsproblem redeeming Bing points

I manage a website focused on Wendy's menu prices in the USA and recently added it to Bing Webmaster Tools to monitor clicks and impressions. Initially, I was able to see data showing the performance of my site. However, the data has stopped updating and seems to be stuck. As my site aims to provide up-to-date information on Wendy's menu prices across the USA, it's essential for me to have accurate insights into its performance on Bing. I've verified the site and ensured the correct placement of verification tags. Can anyone help me resolve this issue and ensure my site's data updates correctly on Bing Webmaster Tools?834Views0likes10CommentsHow does Bing handle organization data when web content is enabled in Copilot for M365?
Does commercial data protection apply to prompts and responses within Copilot for Microsoft 365 when web content is enabled? Does it get the same protections as Microsoft Copilot, formerly known as Bing Chat for Enterprise? How is company data handled in this scenario? I've tried to follow the trail of privacy, terms of use, etc for Bing Search services, but have come up empty with how the data is handled from the company's perspective. All I see is in association to end user privacy. This is a gap in documentation either from an omission standpoint or simplicity and explicit standpoint. It is certainly unclear to me. Full transparency: I posted this in the M365 hub as well. I figure this is technically more appropriate here.684Views0likes2CommentsBing Search not getting my Title & Description tags in the search results using React JS
The Bing Search results are not showing the title & Description in SERP as I am looking to resolve this issue with my Deve. personal and still did not figure it out the issue. Using React Helmet to dynamically manage the title and description tags of our web pages server-side rendering. using (data-rh="true") The common issue with React Helmet is that it does not override the default title and description tags that are in the index.html file. This can cause our web pages to show the wrong title and description in the search results. To fix this, we add the data-rh or data-react-helmet attribute to the tags in our index.html file that we want to override with React Helmet. I raised this issue at Google Support, and while they provided a solution for Google, I still need assistance with the Bing SERP.603Views1like1Comment
