Re: Bing Webmaster Support Team - Not Responding to any support tickets
miraitaro A couple of years ago, I specifically switched from using Google to Bing to help the search engine. I even became an insider and had access to new features early. The search terms rarely provide great relevant results today but I’d still use it to not use Google. Now is a tough time though with ad revenue already plummeting. This doesn’t help anyone. I have contacted them on FB, Twitter and email. Surprisingly my pages are still accessible in Bing images though so I get a hit ever so often. That makes me suspect I am missing a lot of traffic and money when I need it the most. Only way I know to move forward is file a real complaint elsewhere to get in touch with someone who can help. Nothing has changed on my site though so it has to be a Bing flaw somewhere. It is happening to too many sites and not all of them are crap. I’ve seen thousands of complaints already. Thanks Bill!2.5KViews1like1CommentRe: Bing Webmaster Support Team - Not Responding to any support tickets
It is crazy as this seems to be happening to a lot of legitimate websites. A few years ago, I got mad at Google and specifically switched to using Bing search engine only. Since then, the platform has pretty much become unusable with search terms rarely reaching relevant content. The news portion of Bing is hilariously bad. Any of the financial news sites have been written by scripts with errors that you can point out. We need an alternative like Bing, but it is quickly becoming clear that Bing can't fulfill that role. I use Edge mostly but never use Bing anymore because it isn't reliable. I am also in the same boat as you trying to find out why a site was deindexed with no email or notification. Support ticket hasn't been responded to yet, but your post gives me little hope that I'll ever get a response. I've tried adding new meta descriptions and reuploading the XML authentication file for the site. Will return if anything changes. Good luck!2.5KViews1like3CommentsRe: Discovered but not crawled | URL cannot appear on Bing
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.11KViews3likes0Comments
