Bing and Yahoo Indexing
-
I have a young site (6 most) that is almost completely indexed by Google but Bing and Yahoo will only index a few pages.
Does anyone have any tips for getting more pages indexed in Bing and Yahoo. The site is registered with Bing Webmaster tools and has a valid XML sitemmap.
-
Could be....although I was pretty careful about how I set it up. Google is indexing everything I post within half an hour.
-
Add better internal linking to your site. Bing and Yahoo take longer but not 6 months long which leads me to believe that the navigation is hard to get to or worse yet, orphaned pages.
Link to these hard to index pages from other sites where engines live on too.
-
Then, PM me the URL to have a look

If you PM with the url, I will happy to take a look.

Yes, I did this right off the bat.

Have you submitted the xml sitemap in bing webmaster tool? If not do it right now.
Generally people don't bother about Yahoo! and Bing, but we can't forget that Bing and Yahoo still occupies the 2nd and 3rd spot when it comes to search engines.

Sorry, 6 mos. The site is about 200 pages and is almost completely indexed by Google to the point where they are indexing new pages shorty after I publish them.

6 what? days/weeks/months?
Bing/Yahoo do often seem slower to index new sites to be honest. If it is 6 days or 6 weeks I'd not panic too much. if they have found the site they'll find their way through it (barring crawl issues). 6 months I'd be concerned unless it is a massive site.

How to index e-commerce marketplace product pages
Hello! We are an online marketplace that submitted our sitemap through Google Search Console 2 weeks ago. Although the sitemap has been submitted successfully, out of ~10000 links (we have ~10000 product pages), we only have 25 that have been indexed. I've attached images of the reasons given for not indexing the platform. gsc-dashboard-1 gsc-dashboard-2 How would we go about fixing this?

404's being re-indexed
Hi All, We are experiencing issues with pages that have been 404'd being indexed. Originally, these were /wp-content/ index pages, that were included in Google's index. Once I realized this, I added in a directive into our htaccess to 404 all of these pages - as there were hundreds. I tried to let Google crawl and remove these pages naturally but after a few months I used the URL removal tool to remove them manually. However, Google seems to be continually re/indexing these pages, even after they have been manually requested for removal in search console. Do you have suggestions? They all respond to 404's. Thanks

Not all images indexed in Google
Hi all, Recently, got an unusual issue with images in Google index. We have more than 1,500 images in our sitemap, but according to Search Console only 273 of those are indexed. If I check Google image search directly, I find more images in index, but still not all of them. For example this post has 28 images and only 17 are indexed in Google image. This is happening to other posts as well. Checked all possible reasons (missing alt, image as background, file size, fetch and render in Search Console), but none of these are relevant in our case. So, everything looks fine, but not all images are in index. Any ideas on this issue? Your feedback is much appreciated, thanks

Is there a way to index important pages manually or to make sure a certain page will get indexed in a short period of time??
Hi There! The problem I'm having is that certain pages are waiting already three months to be indexed. They even have several backlinks. Is it normal to have to wait more than three months before these pages get an indexation? Is there anything i can do to make sure these page will get an indexation soon? Greetings Bob

Google Has Indexed Most of My Site, why won't Bing?
We've got 600K+ pages indexed by Google and have submitted our same sitemap.xml's to Bing, but have only seen 100-200 pages get indexed by Bing. Is this fairly typical? Is there anything further we can do to increase indexation on Bing?
