Bing not indexing pages

[gamesecure]

We have taken all recommended steps to index our site sitegeek.com pages to Bing Bot but failed to index them.  Bing bot crawled more than 5,000 pages every day but strange why pages are not getting index ?

if we query site:sitegeek.com in Bing

Bing Search Engine shows only 1,200 pages got indexed.

but we query  site:sitegeek.com  in Google

Google Search Engine show more 546,000 pages got indexed.

For example :

https://www.sitegeek.com/000webhost

Above page crawled by Google but Bing.

Can anyone suggest what we are missing on this page? what need to change to index such pages?

Thanks!

Hi Rajiv,

This is a pretty common thing to be honest - you should find this thread interesting - http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4692634.htm

Have you setup Bing Webmaster Tools? - if not I would suggest that you do this and make sure you submit a sitemap etc. I found this helps with visibility in Bing...http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster

You may also want to run some of your page through the Bing SEO Analyzer - http://www.bing.com/toolbox/seo-analyzer

Hope this helps

Hi Williamson,

we have submitted three sitemaps for different-different categories or we can say different-different pages. When we check the sitemaps status under Bing Webmaster, it shows sitemap last crawled date and this date is sitemap submitted date. Here ! we assume that sitemap only crawl on the day when it was submitted and later it is not crawled.

Earlier, I give you an example of url : https://www.sitegeek.com/000webhost

Can you check and suggest which is missing on this page which need be fixed for Bing Bot ?

Thanks,

Rajiv

There isn't anything different you should be doing for Bing on site. The page you mentioned is indexed in Bing (url:https://www.sitegeek.com/000webhost is indexed in Bing). So it's tough to understand what might be going on.

There are many potential issues here.

1. The language changes causing an issue. Bing's tag is different from Google's.

2. The site quality or content quality is not enough for Bing to want to index. I doubt that, but it's a potential issue.

3. Sitemap issues. Bing is not as good as Google at telling us what the issues are with sitemaps. Without doing a full analysis, there isn't much we can do to tell you the problem.

4. Sometimes it's just Bing. They are always behind ...
