Bing is not Indexing my site.
-
Hi,
My website is four months old and has more than 8000 pages. Bing has indexed only 8 pages till date and Google also keeps playing hide and seek with it.
There was a time when google indexed almost all the pages of my site but now there are only 5000 pages indexed. Moreover when I check my site on google (by typing site:socktail.com), it shows only 26 pages.
Please let me know what should I do. If somebody wants to take a look, my website is http://socktail.com
Thanks

Thanks everybody for your response.
I have set up bing webmaster account four days back and I am waiting it to get updated with my website data. I hope it will be able to provide me some insight.
Thanks again.

I would definitely take Martijn and Mossa's steps 1st. I would also check for duplicate content as Bing is renowned for just de-indexing websites with a large amount of duplicate content (I've seen it as little as 40%).
You'll have to file a re-inclusion request to BING and it can take MONTHS to be processed, so you'll want to make SURE you've got your problems fixed before it gets to a human.
This the form you'll need to fill out (choose indexing issue): https://support.discoverbing.com/eform.aspx?productKey=bingwebmaster&ct=eformts
But again I would advise you to check into Bing webmaster tools 1st as it may have had a manual action taken.
Cheers!

My quick advice here is to install GWT and Bing Webmaster tool to see where is the problem with regards to crawling and indexing. Mostly when the website’s overall structure is not SEO friendly, indexing becomes a problem for search engines.

Hi,
Have you submitted any XML sitemaps to both Google and or Bing? You're sure you're not blocking out any search engines via META robots or robots.txt?

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

No Index PDFs
Our products have about 4 PDFs a piece, which really inflates our indexed pages. I was wondering if I could add REL=No Index to the PDF's URL? All of the files are on a file server, so they are embedded with links on our product pages. I know I could add a No Follow attribute, but I was wondering if any one knew if the No Index would work the same or if that is even possible. Thanks!

Mobile site not ranking
Hello, Our main site ranks well for all the keyword terms, and yet, our mobile site is buried. It is a "m." configuration, and I am wondering if it is a question of not using the correct programming language to get it there? Or if the redirects to the main site should relate differently? I have tried to read up on the topic of mobile site SEO and cannot find (or understand) the answer? Could someone please help? Thanks so much in advance!

Duplicate content issue index.html vs non index.html
Hi I have an issue. In my client's profile, I found that the "index.html" are mostly authoritative than non "index.html", and I found that www. version is more authoritative than non www. The problem is that I find the opposite situation where non "index.html" are more authoritative than "index.html" or non www more authoritative than www. My logic would tell me to still redirect the non"index.html" to "index.html". Am I right? and in the case I find the opposite happening, does it matter if I still redirect the non"index.html" to "index.html"? The same question for www vs non www versions? Thank you

Site Architecture Trade Off
Hi All I'm looking for some feedback regarding a site architecture issue I'm having with a client. They are about to enter a re-design and as such we're restructuring the site URLs and amending/ adding pages. At the moment they have ranked well off the back of original PPC landing pages that were added onto the site, such as www.company.com/service1, www.company.com/service2, etc The developer, from a developer point of view wished to create a logical site architecture with multiple levels of directories etc. I've suggested this probably isn't the best way to go, especially as the site isn't that large (200-300 pages) and that the key pages we're looking to rank should be as high up the architecture as we can make them, and that this amendment could hurt their current high rankings. It looks like the trade off may be that the client is willing to let some pages be restructured so for example, www.company.com/category/sub-category/service would be www.company.com/service. However, although from a page basis this might be a solution, is there a drawback to having this in place for only a few pages rather than sitewide? I'm just wondering if these pages might stick out like a sore thumb to Google.
