I have had several back-and-forth with Bing Technical Support this week.
What a waste of time.
All they say is that they can see the reason why my site is not indexed, but they cannot tell me why.
Here is their verbatim response: “Thank you for your patience during our investigation.
After further review, it appears that your website did not meet the standards set by Bing to remain indexed during its last crawl. To ensure that this was not a false flag, the issue was escalated to the next level, and they manually reviewed your site and confirmed that it is in violation of our webmaster guidelines detailed here: [Bing Webmaster Guidelines](https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/webmaster-guidelines-30fba23a).
We are unable to provide specifics about these types of issues, as the reports concerning them are unavailable. Please review our [Bing Webmaster Guidelines](https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/webmaster-guidelines-30fba23a), especially the [Things to Avoid](https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/webmaster-guidelines-30fba23a#avoid) section and thoroughly check your site for any deliberate or accidental SEO techniques that may have adversely affected your standing in Bing and Bing-powered search results. We will not be able to add your site to index when Bingbot is finding it in violation of [Bing Webmaster Guidelines](https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/webmaster-guidelines-30fba23a). We have no control over this process, and you will need to make quality changes to your site and wait for Bingbot’s automated crawling process to verify that the site meets the webmaster standards before it can be served.”
My money is on a few “deliberate or accidental SEO techniques”. Pardon me for trying to rank Bing…
I told them that I will not spend 1 more kj trying to index on Bing, and that I will focus on Google.
