Indexing on Microsoft Bing search engine
Hi can anyone help Bing keeps telling me they can't show my url for indexing because of a problem with my site, I've checked with my service provider and they say there is no problem. Can someone take a look at my site and see if there is a problem, https://www.multimatebriquettemaker.com/index.php

Re: Indexing on Microsoft Bing search engine
What do all the other search engines report? Have you used a .htacces or robots.txt to block indexing or following? It could be even the over use of "Keywords" better known as "Keyword Stuffing". It is known that the over use of these can cause issues. It may be also be a issue with one of the manually added meta tags not having a closing tag.
Missing closing tag >
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control: max-age=86400"
Not

Re: Indexing on Microsoft Bing search engine
Did you fix the following below? Have you included a site map? this is a requirement so that Bings crawl engine can read to index your site. Have you submitted your site to Bing?
Site not being indexed

Re: Indexing on Microsoft Bing search engine
Did you make any major changes to the site, do these changes reflect in the sitemap?. Any major changes could affect how Bing crawls the information and it could take time (days,weeks) for it to the re index you again. It is also possible that Bing is using one of the reasons mentioned in "Site not being indexed" to not index you, meaning what was once ok isn't now.
You should use the Bing webmaster tools to check for issues, if nothing shows then contact them to ask why and how to resolve.
Note each search engine has its own rules, so it may work in Google but not others, it is also not related to the software in anyway. I would read through all the urls, check that you actually have uploaded a sitemap, and that you are actually submitted to Bing so you will be indexed and wait.

Re: Indexing on Microsoft Bing search engine
Is it possible someone could look at my page and see if there are any errors? https://www.paperbriquettepress.com/index.php
I've tried to see if there were any errors but lack the knowledge to do so.

Re: Indexing on Microsoft Bing search engine
To which specific part of your website is this related?

Re: Indexing on Microsoft Bing search engine
You have added the following at the end of the source which will make the code invalid please remove. Note if adding any externally generated code it is assumed that you understand the correct place to insert in the source so not to break the code generated by the software.
If this doesn't resolve this then please remove all manually added code and see if this allows Bing to index your site. Note
Code: Select all
<script async defer src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script>

Re: Indexing on Microsoft Bing search engine
I have again looked at the source code and the only reference to anything like this is the following
Looking further at the FAQ not made with the software there is reference. Please note that there is no help with any external code / widgets you use as it is understood that you understand how to use and fix.

I'm sorry, I cannot help you with custom code. But it looks correct as far as I can tell.

Re: Indexing on Microsoft Bing search engine
I have viewed again and I cannot see any issues with the HTML generated by the software. As previously mentioned please remove all manually added code that you have added. If Bing is still not indexing your site then the issue is with Bing and not the software!. Like "Google" Bing has webmaster tools to show what issues you have and how to resolve. Again how search engines index your site and page(s) content etc is down to them sorry.
Just some of the reasons why Bing might not index your site taken from the following:

Just some of the reasons why Bing might not index your site taken from the following:
https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help/wh ... x-2141dfab
- Your site is new and we haven’t discovered and crawled it yet: With new websites it can take Bing time to find links and crawl through to your website. Even if you submit sitemaps or submit pages directly to us via your Webmaster account as described in Submit URLs to Bing, we still need to crawl and assess it before it appears in the index.
- Your site does not meet the quality threshold required by Bing: Bing likes unique, quality content. Websites which replicate content, redirect users quickly, or provide little depth often don’t fare well in our results. Prolonged poor performance can lead us to delist websites to make room for quality websites.
- Your website has been assessed a penalty and has been removed from the index: In rare case where we have found your web site in violation of quality guidelines or we have discovered malware on your site your site may not appear in search results because it has been penalized. Bing communicates directly with website owners via the Webmaster tools to alert them to any malware we detect on a website. Should malware be detected on your website, we will either remove the site from our search results entirely or add a malware warning to the listing to protect our searchers. If you've been hit by malware you should follow the Bing Webmaster Guidelines accordingly.

Re: Indexing on Microsoft Bing search engine
Thanks to everyone for your help I'm finally back listed on Bing, what I did in the end was to use a html checker and then remove everything that had any sort of error, which worked.
