Hi, I'm facing a problem with indexation. A few days ago, All URLs of my site were indexed within seconds. But now it says "The inspected URL is known to Bing but has some issues which are preventing indexation. We recommend you to follow https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/webmaster-guidelines-30fba23a to increase your chances of indexation." Here is the site URL: (link removed by moderator) It is an educational site, and none of the URLs violates bing guidelines. Even the site is getting indexed in Google with no issue. Please suggest to me a solution what to do. I have already tried APIs but nothing You can see the details in an image.

I have this same exact problem, it's been an entire month and Bing's webmaster shows this error, it could've been better if it shows you the exact error but for some reason we have nothing but this frustrating message leaving us confused, I've checked my website and it doesn't have any problem with Bing's guidelines, my site is indexed on Google but for some reason Bing won't accept it.

John_Bloggs1705 Same here - Discovered but not crawled. My site was indexed in Bing for many years and then it just stopped 6 months ago, totally de-listed - dropped like a rock to zero in one day. Nothing I've tried from their guidelines or site scan feedback has helped. Support was responsive but ultimately of no help and stopped responding - "we're looking into it" turned into "there's an issue with your site that needs to be fixed". LOL any idea what that may be because Google sure seems to like the site. URL Inspection tells me "URL Cannot appear on Bing" because "issues that are preventing indexation" but Live URL inspection tells me "URL Can be Indexed by Bing" if it "passes quality checks and gets indexed by Bing". How did we end up in Bing Jail, and how do we get out? You have issues!You have NO issues!

John_Bloggs1705 Same here. Looks like I've been unindexed for year or two now. I never really got many hits from Bing, but this could be why. Surprisingly, this is a website that has been going for about 10+ years with reputable content no shady backlinks. In fact, the site has links from Wikipedia, IMDB, and so on. I thought it might be a competitor filing a complaint or something, but it looks more like Microsoft's tech team messing something up.There really is no reason for these sites to be removed. If there was, they'd be forthcoming with the details. The xml file from webmaster tools is uploaded, added a meta description, site is still in Google with lots of traffic. It is really frustrating and feels like no one at Microsoft cares. Ad revenue is already pretty bad this time of the year so any drop in traffic hurts. Contacted support several days ago but no response yet.

I have this exact same issue on my site. I tried to reach support and they just checked and sent the only URL that was showing on bing. I get literally 50k pageviews from google every month and 5 from bing. Bad support from Bing.

Have the same issue since beginning of June 2022. For one main site and 2 secondary sites on subdomains. When I type site:mysite.tld in Bing search I only get "some results had been removed".Only under the picture tab, all images of my sites coming up;My sites were very well referenced in Bing for more than 7 years and had removed without any reason one day over the other.I wrote to support but didn't get an answer yet. I think it might be a bug

As a heads-up, we don't allow external links/ads here, so we've removed the link in your original post. Sorry for the hassle. We recommend you reach out to Bing webmaster support about issues like this: https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help/webmaster-support-24ab5ebf

  EricStarker I have submitted roughly 30 support requests over the last 4 months to Webmaster Support, from multiple webmaster emails/accounts, and have not gotten so much as a simple confirmation email back.
  
  Really, unbelievable.

    isaiahmiller I had the same issue but it got resolved automatically and my site is now indexed, I did nothing.
    
    Infact sending email to bing webmaster team was of no help. Just keep patience it will be fixed automatically.
