            Ok
            That is an issue with many websites.

            Recently https://www.healthcaredeliveries.com/ And https://www.sportsmanfinder.com

            These 2 sites had bing related issue.

            U need to contact support via bing webmaster. Normally they will not tell u exact reason.

            When they reply usually in 10 days. Tell them u really need them. And try to ask person that u did some mistakes in past. Like u did email marketing which was getting marked as spam.

            And also tell u did fixes in website.

            Just say that u accept ur mistakes and promise them that remove your website from manual actions and promise u will not do any spamming.

            If u have luck keep answering to the email and doing follow ups.

            That’s the way we got our issue sorted.

            That can take a process like 2 months

            That is my experience and I am indexed in bing.

            Thx

                  I am experiencing the same problem with my site; for some reason Google will index but Bing won't. Have already checked all the usual suspects. Have contacted Microsoft - will keep you guys updated.

                      Same problem with https://nightmareSolution.com
                      Bing constantly crawl the website but for some unknown reason, bing won't index the website.

                      However, everything is fine on the side of Google and Yandex, it takes Less than 24 hours for Google to index a new blog post.
                      I think the problem is with Bing and not the website?
                      Anyone here found a solution?

                          @bcammo Hey, may I ask you how did you solve your issue and what exactly was wrong?

                          I got:
                          Indexed but cannot be served. URL cannot appear on Bing
                          Last crawl attempted: 04 Aug 2021 at 18:49
                          Crawl allowed? Yes.
                          Page Fetch: Successful.
                          Indexing allowed? Yes.
                          Index
                          Canonical URL - -
                          The inspected URL has been indexed successfully but there are some issues which might prevent us from serving it to our users. Please contact Bing Webmaster support for more details

                          I ask support but got 2 generic replies so far telling me that I need to review their guidelines and fix the issues but I don’t know what those issues are. All I see is 2 dash lines in the last line at “Canonical URL” and I don’t know what that means? I am very frustrated because I got no issues at all in Google and MS won’t tell me what is wrong.

                            Hi

                            I have same problem. Website is 2 to 3 years old.

                            Our website is indexed very well on Google and have listing on 1st page of google for many keywords.

                            However site is not getting indexed on Bing.

                            We emailed them few times and just a normal reply saying, follow guidelines.

                            But we have no clue what we need to do.

                            Error:
                            Blocked
                            URL cannot appear on Bing

                            Web site url is: https://www.bulkcheapammo.com

                            Any one got it fixed? @Moz Any suggestions please?

                              Yes, sorry 🙂

                              I used the form on their support site for the webmaster tools : https://www.bing.com/webmaster/support

                              Although that doesn't seem to be working at this moment so the email address that it was sent to is :

                              ucmbwts@microsoft.com

                              Hope this helps!

                                Just encase anyone is still having issues with this, or happens to come across this post in the future...

                                We emailed Bing support who came back and said that they had found their bots were blocked from indexing our site, there was no reason for this but just an error in their system (apparently this is quite common).

                                They responded pretty quickly and removed the block, a couple of days later we were being indexed and seeing traffic come from Bing!

                                  We are having the same issue with one of our sites. We have tried all of the suggestions we can find on the internet.

                                  Submitted out site to Bing webmaster tools, submitted the Sitemap, checked the Robots.txt...

                                  It is now crawling the site but still not indexing any of the pages! The only thing left for us to do is wait and hope that Bing will eventually index it, but it seems weird as its being indexed fine in other search engines and generally getting good search engine rankings for keywords.

                                  The website is www.thriveinlife360.com for reference.

                                  We have a client base of well over 20 websites and all of them are being indexed in Bing, except from this one.

                                  Would be interesting to know how many websites this affects and if there is a pattern within those that Bing doesn't like.

                                    😐 This is highly confounding. I've crawled as Bingbot and nothing is in it's way.

                                    There are a few other issues though. You are using the canonical on a large number of pages. In my crawl, I am seeing the crawler going through a large number of pages and only returning a fraction of them. At this moment my crawler is finding 31k things to crawl, has crawled 1044 and returned only 29 pages that might be indexed. 65% of those are without errors.

                                    It is possible that the site structure is causing issues. I suggest taking time to review your site structure and making it easier for bots to find the pages they need to index, telling them what not to crawl (a canonical is a suggestion and should be used when pages are duplicated), and fixing all errors on the site.

                                      Thanks, Kate! Unfortunately, we've tried all those idea already too.

                                      • We've contacted ads, but on luck in connection there.
                                      • We've submitted to webmaster tools; the site is getting crawled but not indexed.
                                      • We’ve submitted the sitemap manually, as well.

                                        Not seeing anything overtly wrong. I submitted your homepage to Bing for indexing, so we'll see what happens there.

                                        2 other things though.

                                        1. You advertise. Get a hold of the ads side and see if they know anything or if they can connect you with anyone. It's a long shot, but worth a try.
                                        2. Have you verified your site in Bing Webmaster Tools and submitted your sitemap manually?

                                              How to use Fetch as Bingbot

                                              Fetch as Bingbot is a very useful tool for troubleshooting. You will find this tool in the Diagnostics & Tools section in the navigation menu.  **Fetch as Bingbot **allows you to see exactly what the Bingbot sees when downloading a page from your site. As such, it’s a great tool for determining if a page on your site can be crawled. To use it, simply enter in the URL from your site and click Fetch. This tool will send the request to Bingbot for processing, so it’s normal that it takes a few seconds to run your request. Just below the URL entry form, the URL you requested (along with any previous requests) will be shown. When Bingbot is finished with your request, the status for the URL will change to Completed. To see what Bingbot found at your URL, simply click the **Completed **link and scroll down the page to view the page source that Bingbot found.

                                              SEE WHAT BINGBOT SEES

                                              Fetch as Bingbot shows you exactly what your HTTP Headers and page source look like to Bingbot. Viewing your page’s source in this manner ensures you know exactly what Bingbot is seeing when it crawls the URL. This is especially useful in helping find areas when you want to make sure content can be indexed or in cases where your site may have been compromised and is for example sending different HTML to Bingbot then to users. By scanning through the page source, you could note things like links injected into blog posts or any other manner of additive items you did not place on your website.

                                              Fetch as Bingbot is also a reliable way to test if a URL is being blocked by your robots.txt file. It’s polite, so sending it to fetch a URL blocked via robots.txt will get you a notice explaining that this barrier is in place.

                                              Also, if Fetch as Bingbot is not able to crawl a page because of other blocks or politeness constraints, for example the maximum amount of crawls we are allowed to make in a given time window, the tool will tell you too.

                                              | To see the crawled content of a page using the crawlable Ajax protocol using #! notation in the URL, you need to input the static URL instead. The static URL is the URL that contains the ?escaped_fragment= portion. Note that although Bing supports this protocol we do not recommend it for frequent use. |

                                              COMMON PROBLEMS

                                              WHAT DOES "REDIRECTION LIMIT REACHED MEAN"?

                                              Unlike the SEO Analyzer tool, Fetch as Bingbot does not follow redirects. Instead it will let you know that the page resulted in a redirect and shows you the HTTP headers it received from your server. The line most commonly starting with HTTP/1.1 shows the status code (301, 302, or in some cases 303 or 307 - see this full list of 3xx status codes) and the location: header shows you where the server tells Bingbot (and other clients) where the redirect should go to. To fetch the page at that location you will need to perform a new fetch using that URL. This is in fact how the Bingbot crawler works: every redirect requires a brand new fetch, and this new fetch does not necessarily happen immediately after encountering the redirect.

                                              WHAT DOES "DOWNLOAD OF ROBOTS.TXT FAILED" MEAN?

                                              When the result of a fetch reads “Download of Robots.txt Failed”, then Bingbot was not able get a proper server response when trying to access your site’s robots.txt. This usually means that your site’s server is configured to refuse Bingbot or the IP addresses from which Bingbot operates a proper connection or simply denies access to this URL. This is a problem, since Bingbot now cannot tell whether or not a robots.txt file actually exists nor read any directives in the robots.txt file should it exist. You should investigate (or ask your ISP to investigate) whether such a configuration is in place.

                                              WHAT DOES "REPRESENT DOWNLOAD NOT ATTEMPTED DUE TO POLITENESS ISSUE" MEAN?

                                              When the result of a fetch reads “Represent download not attempted due to politeness issue”, then Bingbot did not try fetch the page due to restrictions on how much we can crawl the site. This usually means that Bingbot is backing off at this point in time and that it cannot fetch the page "politely", that is, honoring crawl delays or heuristically determined maximum fetches per second for your site. If this issue persists it may point to insufficient bandwidth available to Bingbot to crawl your site efficiently. First, you should check your site's robots.txt for any crawl-delay: directives. Removing or lowering crawl-delay directives can also help with this issue. If there are no crawl-delay directives present, you should check Crawl Control settings to see if they can help improve by setting higher levels (especially during times when you expect fewer visitors).

                                              WHAT DOES "UNEXPECTED ERROR" MEAN?

                                              If you are seeing frequent "Unexpected Error" results in Fetch as Bingbot, this may indicate that our crawler is not able to connect to your server and not getting a server response at all. Your server may be unintentionally blocking Bingbot based on user agent or IP range. To remedy this, look for server configurations or modules that may be dropping connections for Bingbot or work with your ISP to identify whether the issue is on their side.

                                                Should I "no-index" two exact pages on Google results?

                                                noindex google search engine results seo expert

                                                Hello everyone, I recently started a new wordpress website and created a static homepage. I noticed that on Google search results, there are two different URLs landing on same content page. I've attached an image to explain what I saw. Should I "no-index" the page url? Google url.JPG In this picture, the first result is the homepage and I try to rank for that page. The last result is landing on same content with different URL. So, should I no-index last result as shown in image?

                                                I can't crawl the archive of this website with Screaming Frog

                                                Hi I'm trying to crawl this website (http://zeri.info/) with Screaming Frog but because of some technical issue with their site (i can't find what is causing it) i'm able to crawl only the first page of each category (ex. http://zeri.info/sport/) and then it will go to crawl each page of their archive (hundreds of thousands of pages) but it won't crawl the links inside these pages. Thanks a lot!

                                                How long does Google takes to re-index title tags?

                                                Hi, We have carried out changes in our website title tags. However, when I search for these pages on Google, I still see the old title tags in the search results. Is there any way to speed this process up? Thanks

                                                Will this affect the local SEO listings in Google?

                                                So, I'm trying to list the same exact address across all local listings for a client.  How "exact" do they all need to match in order for them to be optimized for the 7-pack listings? Here is an example of what I'm dealing with... 999 Cherry Ln #1 Dallas, TX 75238 - Address on Google Plus page 999 Cherry Ln Ste 1, Dallas, TX 75238 - Address on every other business listing Is this close enough or is this inconsistency really hurting this client?

                                                A site is not being indexed by Google Yahoo or Bing

                                                This site - http://adoptionconnection.org/ is not being indexed by any of the search engines.  I checked the easy stuff - robots text is: <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">all, index, follow</a>" /> <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noodp</a>" /> <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noydir</a>" /> I have checked what I can determine would cause the issue but have found nothing to prevent it from being indexed. I'm thinking it may be re-directs etc. Any answer would be great. Thanks in advance,

                                                Open Site Explorer doesn't update correctly

                                                We have been using OSE for a little over 2 Months now and our link demographics haven't changed although we have been getting lots of backlinks from other blogs and webpages. Google Webmaster Tools displays these links but OSE, even after the updates, doesn't.
                                                Our domain is about 1 Year old and has had indexed content on it since June this year. Google Webmaster Tools shows 24 Links to our domain but OSE only 3. The domain is http://www.wellbo.de
