Why are my pages not being indexed by Bing?
- SEO |
Here is what I discovered so far:
- We do have limitations on what search engines can crawl the website in the robots.txt file, but Bingbot and msnbot are not being blocked in the robot.txt file.
- The on page meta tags include:
- <meta name="Robots" content="INDEX,FOLLOW" /><meta name="Revisit-after" content="7 Days" />
- The website is an https website.
- Since there are so many pages, the sitemap is broken into multiple sitemaps and submitted to bing.
- The pages do have back links going to them. Not many, but shouldn't the pages be indexed?
- Here is what I see when I do a Bing Fetch: HTTP/1.1 200 OKConnection: Keep-AliveDate: Mon, 08 Sep 2014 19:07:52 GMTKeep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100Transfer-Encoding: chunkedContent-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8Content-Encoding: gzipContent-Language: en,en-usServer: Oracle-Application-Server-11gSet-Cookie: ShopMarketingTracking=SM-1410203272764_207.46.13.51_Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm); expires=Tue, 08-Sep-2015 19:07:53 GMTSet-Cookie: JSESSIONID=qiVWqkfIngFBROEtFB9WOsi99wi3laK-Cpo2SqLo4UA5ETdSP7Br!-1482754256; path=/; HttpOnlySet-Cookie: BIGipServerpool.pw_web_carwize_8360=168578314.4023 4.0000; path=/Vary: User-Agent,Accept-EncodingX-Powered-By: Servlet/2.5 JSP/2.1
- Google is able to index all our pages. Why can't Bing.
