25 year old website disappeared from Bing
Hello, Our brand website has ranked fairly well on Bing since Bing first opened. The site has existed since the year 2000. It has usually/often ranked #1 for the brand name and closely associated terms. We often had a full array of image and page links accompanying our listing even when that listing was not #1. Recently we've noticed that our top ranking home page & category pages have all disappeared from Bing and only a handful of deeper, somewhat obscure pages of the site are showing up & they are ranking very poorly (round page 3-5) with no image or page links accompanying. I've gone through Bing Webmaster Tools (and many other tools) and the site is healthier than ever, nearly 100% scores across all metrics, zero errors, very few warnings or suggestions. The site is modern, responsive, updated regularly & recently etc. I can't figure out why our normally top-ranking pages seem to have been purged from the results and only more obscure pages are coming up at all. The pages seem to be indexed, just not showing up anywhere anymore. Any Insights would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks.raseoneFeb 14, 2025Copper Contributor13Views0likes0Commentsbing site scan not working

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. 🙏trees1ncFeb 11, 2025Copper Contributor81Views0likes6CommentsNo Response to Bing PubHub Application - Seeking Assistance
I have submitted my application for Bing PubHub for my website on August 10, 2024. My application status is still marked as "Awaiting for Approval", and despite multiple follow-up emails, I have not received any updates or responses. I have made sure that my website meets all the necessary guidelines for Bing PubHub, including high-quality, original content. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or advice on how to proceed in this situation. Has anyone else faced similar issues, and if so, how did you manage to get your application reviewed? Are there any alternative ways to get in touch with the Bing PubHub team for faster resolution? Thank you for your help and guidance.

I am constrained by Bing webmaster which automatically changes all url writing to lowercase in the sitemap (in the .xml file I have written it correctly. this happens to all my pages that use the zh-Hans (Chinese simplified) and also zh-Hant (Chinese traditional) language versions. for example: mysite.com/zh-Hans/database/profile/2001/ Bing changes it to mysite.com/zh-hans/database/profile/2001/ in the end the index status of all these pages becomes canonicalized. does anyone have a way to overcome this?YogoFeb 10, 2025Copper Contributor28Views0likes4CommentsWho can help? Bing bots refuse to crawl the content.
Bing support has been ignoring me for the past 9 months, repeatedly sending the same response: "The submitted URL is known to Bing but has some issues preventing indexing. We recommend following the Bing Webmaster guidelines to increase your chances of indexing." I discovered the issue and fixed it, but even after a long time, the site still hasn't been indexed. I have tried all the methods multiple times to speed up indexing, but it didn’t work. Bing is connected, but Bing bots refuse to crawl the content.Earfull1337Jan 31, 2025Copper Contributor16Views1like0CommentsHomepage Indexing Issue on Bing
Hi Bing Team, I am writing to seek urgent assistance regarding an indexing issue with my website's homepage on Bing. Despite multiple attempts to report this problem through the Bing Webmaster Tools, I have either received automated responses or no reply at all. I have already fixed potential SEO errors on my homepage, and Bing Webmaster Tools indicates that the page can be indexed. However, it still remains unindexed. I have followed all the guidelines and best practices for SEO, and I am confident that my website meets the necessary standards. I have also tried to follow up on my previous feedbacks but have not received any helpful responses. I hope that an engineer from your team can assist me in resolving this issue as soon as possible.Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your prompt response. Thank you all.TQHYGJan 28, 2025Copper Contributor29Views0likes0CommentsSite Move Tool - Bing Webmaster Tools - link does not work
Hi, I am trying to move my site to a new domain on Bing Webmaster Tools. The following article from Bing (https://blogs.bing.com/webmaster/december-2020/Website-Migration-with-Bing), suggest that I need to use The Site Move tool, and provides the following url: https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/how-to-use-the-site-move-tool-bb8f5112 However, this URL is broken. Where can I find the Move Tool? Thank you.legendarieJan 21, 2025Copper Contributor449Views2likes2CommentsBing 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.andrewlee1982Jan 14, 2025Copper Contributor4.7KViews1like7CommentsBing won't Index My site.
I have been trying in vain for the last month to get my site indexed by Bing. The site has a robots.txt, has a sitemap and is indexed by Google. I've used IndexNow, I have followed the Webmaster Guidelines, which by the way is some sort of bible that they just throw at you in case they can't index you. They don't give me any specific reason as to why...simply and confusingly they just say, 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. I have reached out to Bing Webmaster Support on several occasions and I get the automated reply. This is so insanely frustrating and I've seen it on thread after thread that others have experienced the EXACT same issue. Why does Microsoft ignore this issue and not help users who are experiencing the same issue? I've seen threads just like this get shut down but I'm going to raise the question again in hopes that someone can help.KariedJan 12, 2025Copper Contributor1.2KViews2likes7Comments
