Bing not indexing pages
-
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!

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 ...

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

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

I just would like to know if the page not linked anywhere get indexed by Google or not? Will it be found by Google? What if a page not linked internally but go some backlinks from other websites? Thanks

The evolution of Google's 'Quality' filters - Do thin product pages still need noindex?
I'm hoping that Mozzers can weigh in with any recent experiences with eCommerce SEO..... I like to assume (perhaps incorrectly) that Google's 'Quality' filters (formerly known as Panda) have evolved with some intelligence since Panda first launched and started penalising eCommerce sites for having thin product pages. On this basis i'd expect that the filters are now less heavy handed and know that product pages with no or little product description on them are still a quality user experience for people who want to buy that product. Therefore my question is this...

Do thin product pages still need noindex given that more often that not they are a quality search result for those using a product specific search query? Has anyone experienced penalty recently (last 12 months) on an ecommerce site because of a high number of thin product pages?0 -
Dealing with Omitted Page
For my most competitive term, the wrong page ranks (and not well either). The landing page I built for it has never shown up for that term except after I include the omitted results. The page that does rank is category page page above it. All that's fine, because neither page was all that great...BUT, I have completely re-written the content for the landing page, got local area pictures, local testimonials and a video. So here's my question: Should I put all that content on the landing page that's been omitted or tweak the page that ranks and put it there? To me it makes the most sense to put the content on the page that has been omitted, but I don't know how google treats pages that have been omitted in the past. Is it going to have some sort of bias against the page, because it was omitted so many times earlier for that keyword? Or, will it be treated just like any other page, and if the content is good enough, then it will rank just fine. If anyone's dealt with this, then I'd love to hear all about it! Thanks, Ruben

Is it stil a rule that Google will only index pages up to three tiers deep? Or has this changed?
I haven't looked into this in a while, it used to be that you didn't want to bury pages beyond three clicks from the main page. What is the rule now in order to have deep pages indexed?

Home page rank for keyword
Hi Mozers I have traded from my website balloon.co.uk for over 10 years. For a long while the site ranked first for the word 'balloon' across the UK on google.co.uk (first out of 41 million). Around the time Penguin launched the site began to drop and currently sits on about page 5. What's confusing is that for a search on 'balloons' ('s' on the end of balloon) it ranks 2nd in the location of Birmingham where I'm based. That's 2nd in the real search rather than a map local search. But - if I search 'balloon' from the location of Birmingham my contact page ranks 5th: http://www.balloon.co.uk/contact.htm but the home page ranks nowhere. So - it's gone from ranking 1st nationally to ranking nowhere with my contact page ranking above the home page (which is a generic word domain). Any ideas?

Should social widgets be the kind that shares/likes a page, or the kind that adds followers to a brand social page?
I'm wondering if the social widgets on my blog should create a share/like referencing the page or should the social widget create a follower to my brands page on a particular social network? Any ideas?
