I have a simple site that’s been around for over 15 years and was listed on Bing for that whole time.
I installed the The SEO Network plugin a ways back and I noticed recently that my site was dropped from Bing (which also means Yahoo and DuckDuckGo). I’m not sure exactly when it was dumped because I don’t check my Bing rankings often. When I went and looked at my logs it seemed they may have dumped me not too long after I installed this plugin. Is there any known issues with Bing having an issue with SEO plugins? I’ve contacted them several times and they won’t give me a specific reason as to why my site was dropped. My site does well on other search engines. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.
]]>I developed a very simple website with WordPress: emev.it.
When I use bing.com to search for the company name, I also get a link to the author (myself).
Here you can find the bing page:
https://www.bing.com/search?q=emev&cvid=8e949311334c48adb4546154dac926c9&gs_lcrp=EgRlZGdlKgYIABBFGDkyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRg7MgYIAhAAGEAyBggDEEUYPDIGCAQQRRg8MgYIBRBFGDwyBggGEEUYPDIGCAcQRRg8MgYICBBFGEHSAQgxMzc2ajBqNKgCCLACAQ&FORM=ANAB01&PC=LCTS&ntref=1
The URL is: “emev.it/author/pancaldiemev_gk40y8jf/”.
However, there is no existing page with that name or URL.
I did not do anything to suggest this URL to Bing. If I use Google to search for the company name, that URL is not indexed.
What am I doing wrong?
What can I do to resolve this issue?
Is it just a matter of how Bing works?
I look forward to your reply. Thank you.
Best,
Giorgio

]]>My only issue, is that Bing isn’t listed under the Provider options, even though it’s mentioned as being supported in the product description.
]]><meta name=”description” content=”> or echo esc_attr(get_bloginfo(‘description’));
to sitemap.xsl
ERROR : Missing description META tag
What is the problem?
There is no description in the page title section. Search engines can use the description contained in the tag on the search results page. A quality description that is relevant to the content of the page and matches the searcher’s intent can help you increase traffic, as the description increases the search engine traffic to your page.
Don’t want to make your own template to fix this Bing crawl error

Is there a way to stop the bots following the ajaxCalendar link from in EM or can you add a nofollow to the link. Anything that will stop these bots killing our site.
