      Hi, are website servicemanualrepairs.com was removed from Bing and Yahoo index, I emailed Bing via Webmaster tools they first said it was Backlinks I did look via at the inbound links tool to analyze the site's Backlinks I did find 20 links and used the Disavow tool, they said  "I'm afraid but after careful and thorough investigation, your site still did not meet the Bing and Microsoft guidelines You may also refer to the  things to avoid section of the Webmaster Guidelines for additional information. As an effect, the site is still blocked and it cannot be lifted" the website was in Bing and  Yahoo  index for 3 Years  and only after the 20 Backlinks were added to the site it was de-index any help would be greatly appreciated

      Thanks

        Start with removing all the advertising as well, I tried to read 1 How-to article and most of the content was hidden because the ads started flowing onto my screen. This is definitely also a signal for Google/Bing or whatever kind of search engine to ensure the page quality is good enough.

          Hi, thanks for the response. Should I just remove infolinks? We also have Amazon and eBay, but they are widgets.

          Thanks

            Yes, remove most of the advertising if you can. To be honest, the first idea I had when I visited your site was that it was an MFA (Made for Adsense) site.

                HI, Thanks for all the help unfortunately Bing email this to me

                Upon further review, it appears that your site did not meet the standards set by Bing to get indexed the last time it was crawled. With this, we recommend that you review ourwebmaster guidelines, especially the section things to avoid, and check for any deliberately or accidentally employed SEO techniques that may have adversely affected your standing in Bing and Bing-powered search results. After making the necessary adjustments to your site, you may get back to us by replying to this email and providing the changes made so we could re-evaluate site.

                I do appreciate all the the help is there anything else you think that wrong with the site

                  I see the ads have been removed, but as I crawl the site, in just 5 minutes I see 26k pages, but your initial navigation doesn't mention the brands I am seeing in the crawl. It might be that Bing thinks you are hiding content. For anyone to full assess your site, they would need access to your webmaster tools accounts and analytics.

                  The sheer amount of content on your site stands out to me considering the navigation. But that is all I can find on first pass. You links might still be another but that would take more analysis.

                  Oh just saw this as well, you have a potential duplicate content issue:

                  • http://servicemanualrepairs.com/book/2008-mazda-cx-9-owners-manual/
                  • http://servicemanualrepairs.com/book/tag/2008-mazda-cx9-owners-manual/

                  I would disallow all tag pages and get your navigation figured out, that might help some.

                    • We added hundreds of pages to our website & restructured the layout to include 3 additional locations within the sub-pages, same brand/domain name. How long could Google take to crawl/index the new pages and rank the keywords used within those pages?
