      Hi,I have a strange problem. My website www.dealwithautism.com is just 2 months old and have 40+ high quality articles that are already beginning to see some organic traffic from Google without any off page SEO (link building, etc).

      By quality articles I mean:
      1. Each article is 1500+ words of unique and highly relevant content with solid on page SEO (images may be reused from Google images). Moz page grader=A for most pages

      2. Pretty well structured (with good number of internal links)

      3. Entire site (all pages) delivered over https SSL using 301 redirect

      4. No malware or spammy backlinks

      5. NAP details and social signals available

      6. Already ranking top10 in google SERPs for long tail KWs

      7. According to Google Webmasters, no crawl errors except for a few (less than 10) 404s

      8. Fully responsive - all pages tagged as "Mobile Friendly" by Google

      However, since day 1, Bing has not indexed a single page on my website (xml sitemap was updated from day 1) even though they are crawling the site. I recently raised an Email ticket and this was their response:

      "Upon checking, it appears that your site did not meet the standards set by Bing to get indexed the last time it was crawled. However, we will be looking further into this issue along with the Product Group to review the content of your website for re-evaluation. We currently do not have an ETA for the update but please be assured that we will get back to you as soon as they become available."

      Now based on my previous experience, this could take months.

      Following are just a few sample pages on the website:

      https://www.dealwithautism.com/oppositional-defiant-disorder-treatment-and-odd-case-study/

      https://www.dealwithautism.com/tourette-syndrome-symptoms-treatment-for-tourettes/

      https://www.dealwithautism.com/autism-test-for-toddlers/

      I believe the quality of these pages are quite good for a small new website.
      Then what does Bing mean by "website not meeting standards"? Am I missing a piece of the puzzle?

      I would have thought that Google was more quality focused than Bing but my SEO performance in Google is currently exceeding my expectation. Can you experts please help me out here?

          I'd start by taking a look at your link profile. I did a quick check with Moz and Majestic SEO and noticed a couple of things:

          1. You have very few incoming links (0 recorded on Moz, 84 on Majestic).
          2. None of the Majestic inventoried links have any citation or trust flow, meaning they're considered very low quality.
          3. The majority of the Majestic inventoried links are tagged as having been deleted.

          Another quick note (but this wouldn't prevent you from being indexed) is your tag pages are indexed. I'd change those to noindex to minimize duplicate content.

            You mentioned "(images may be reused from Google images)". You may want to go back and look and make sure there are no copyright violations here, to prevent yourself from running into trouble later on.

              Have you thought about reaching out to Bing? They have a team of specialists that you can reach if you have set up a Bing Webmaster Tools account. That might be a really helpful resource in solving this problem.
