Our Site currently not showing in bing search. Though site crawled regularly and image search showing result. 

But regular search have no result even if we search for "site:5bestincity.com"

 

Our website was ranked extremely well in Bing when it was indexed and similarly we are currently ranking extremely good in Google too. 

All Our content and image manually collected and organized and written by us. 

We are really surprised why bing  gave us penalty.

 

We have two other domain top5incity.com and best5incity.com to prevent our brand misuse and we had started to develop our website for internal purpose using that two domain and we strictly mentioned through robots.txt not to crawl. 

despite that bing crawled and indexed those two website and it was ranked also good in bing. 

We are forced to remove all result manually from bing as soon we noticed duplicate site result. 

We never asked bing to crawl and index or anything to do that duplicate domain. and it completely ignore robots.txt. 

But suddenly in november end bing entirely removed our main website 5bestincity.com from its search.

Development site ranks 2 despite no index declaration.

 

Please bing clarify what we did wrong and help us to be in your search result. 

If we violates and used any technique which is against your policy , guide us we will definitely take action.

 

We have send almost 5 email starting from November end. But no reply still now.

Its urgent as many client and business owner complaining that they are unable to find our website in bing.com and it jeopardize our effort.

@Webmaster_5Bestincity Hi

I have Bing and Edge by default and I had no problem so maybe Microsoft is not blocking anything?

Thanks @Deleted .

We are really confused what went wrong or what policy we have violated. 

Our main website (link removed by moderator) completely removed  from bing search.

 

But two domain which was just to safeguard our product and brandname and used for our internal development got indexed by bing despite clearly blocked by robots.txt and ranked extremely well. We immediately manually removed all indexed list from those duplicate sites.

Need immediate help. so that we could be back in bing result once gain.

Thanks in advance.

CHecked everything , and it's penalty and we are very much sure its due to those duplicate sites despite we declared not to crawl in robots.txt.  Our website image getting indexed and ranking as usual.

We really don't understand what rules we have violated. We have gathered and wrote information and have contacted with the listed business owner. All information manually collected from business owner and images edited by us. If anyone help us to point out rules which we have violated will be very much helpful. Site doing extremely well in google. and In bing when it was indexed ranked as well good but due to replica site for development purpose may cause duplicate content issues. but its not our fault we have declared in robots.txt not to crawl . Replica site's robots.txt for development purpose (link removed by moderator)

Please start a discussion here - I have often seen that the Community Manager helped with complex problems, include a link to this discussion.

The problem is the lack of an answer that you can't get in this space,

I am attaching few screenshot related to webmaster portal to understand better. Url inspection showing us alert that we may have violated webmaster guidelines, but we have read and tried to figure out any rules which Bing may find as violation but really unable to do. 

We need help to resolve it immediately as it may lead bad user experience as well our customer complaining daily about our website absence in bing.

All of my sites have fallen through the cracks and this is how I got the answer.

 

Please review our Webmaster Guidelines, especially the section Things to Avoid, and thoroughly check your site for any deliberately or accidentally employed SEO techniques that may have adversely affected your standing in Bing and Bing-powered search results. Post complying with the webmaster guidelines you can submit your URL using URL Submission feature to get them recrawled.

Thanks Mozzy for proactively reply in this issues.
This website not built with wordpress, Complete custom CMS.
So unable to run those plugins which you mentioned.
But as per our careful reviews done by entire Digital Market Team and other Expert in this domain, only possible cause was duplicate domain , because rest all points not applicable for us. If we anyhow doubt about scrapped plagiarized content , our website content almost manually written by us and information verified over phone after communication done with business owner.
We just want to identify the exact cause. I don't understand if Bing provide contact support option then getting no reply month after month really frustrating.

Bing have started indexing our site from yesterday , I guess.
Few days ago, we received a reply from bing webmaster team that our site still violates bing webmaster policy , and we should submit once it complies. We send a reply that we were unable to identify the issues and shared that users searching for us in bing.

We didn't changed anything or submitted any url , but it automatically have started indexing our site. 

I guess bing follow some social signal and also brand search volume.

 

Still many url not indexed , but indexed url getting rank as before I guess. 

 

Anyways problem solved. :)
