BingHoo Tools No Longer Directly Supporting AJAX
-
This post was derived from the fact that our website, which uses AJAX and AJAX urls formatted using Google's crawl guidelines (and ranks well), is being completely misread by BingHoo's bots (and destroying our rankings).
After some research, we found that Bing's tools used to contain an option for their crawlers to interpret AJAX-infused urls, but that this feature was removed with the latest update.
I've seen others post on this issue with no response, so I figured I'd post the customer support email we received below - kind of strange thing to receive. Takeaway - even AJAX done right is rough in BingHoo.
(sorry I can't post my site here..).
Hello,
This is Roxanne of Bing Technical Support and I will be assisting you with this issue.
I understand that you cannot find the Configure Bing for AJAX Crawling box in Bing Webmaster. Let me explain.
We appreciate your feedback about Bing Webmaster tools. We regret to inform you that Bing Webmaster Tools is no longer directly supporting AJAX. We'll pass this feedback onto our Bing development team.
If you are having ajax-specific related issues with your site in Webmaster tools, please let us know.
We apologize for the time spent and the inconvenience this may have caused you. If you should require further clarification and need more assistance, please feel free to reply to this email.
Thank you and have a great day!
Regards,

Does Google add parameters to the URL parameters in webmaster tools/
I am seeing new parameters added (and sometimes removed) from the URL Parameter tool. Is there anything that would add parameters to the tool? Or does it have to be someone internally? FYI - They always have no date in the configured column, no effect set, and crawl is set to Let Google decide.

Can you have 2 different websites on 1 webmaster tools account
Someone set up both our sites on the one webmaster tools account is this the best way to do it or should we have 2 different accounts. We are having problems with our site verification not working and our google shopping feeds not working could this be the cause.

Webmaster tools reporting spurious errors?
For the past 3 or so months Webmaster tools has been reporting 404 errors on my pages... The odd thing is that I can't figure out what they are seeing. Here is an example of a link they claim is a 404 antiquebanknotes/nationalcurrency/rare/1895-Ten-Dollar-Bill.aspx This is strange because it's a malformed URL. It says it's linked from this page: http://www.antiquebanknotes.com/antiquebanknotes/rare/1882-twenty-dollar-bill.aspx Which is a URL that doesn't exist. The bolded portion of this URRL shouldn't be there. Can anyone give me an idea what is happening here? Kind regards, Greg

A few misc Webmaster tools questions & Robots.txt etc
Hi I have a few general misc questions re Robots.tx & GWT: 1) In the Robots.txt file what do the below lines block, internal search ? Disallow: /?
Technical SEO | | Dan-Lawrence
Disallow: /*? 2) Also the sites feeds are blocked in robots.txt, why would you want to block a sites feeds ? **3) **What's the best way to deal with the below: - old removed page thats returning a 500 response code ? - a soft 404 for an old removed page that has no current replacement old removed pages returning a 404 The old pages didn't have any authority or inbound links hence is it best/ok to simply create a url removal request in GWT ?

Web Master Tools: change of address
Hello, Hope you can help with an issue I'm having:www.brand-kw1-kw2.com (eg name of course) has moved to www.brand.comAll settings are done - like I did before when moving and setting up a new domain for an older site. (30q redirects - all versions are verified in WMT).However, when the change of adress features is "called out" I get the message: "We couldn't verify www.brand-kw1-kw2.com To submit a change of address, www.brand-kw1-kw2.com must be verified using the same method as brand-kw1-kw2.com. Add www.brand-kw1-kw2.com to your account and verify ownership, then try again." So dose it basically saying that I have to use the same method to verify both the www and non-www version ? Dose it make sense ? It sounds silly. Again, all version are verified and visibile in WMT already - I don't know how in the past those verifications were done but everything is looking good now. Is here a fix for this issue ? (I've moved several but this is the first issue I've encountered) Many thanks.
