So since the beginning of 2022, Bing has not been indexing any of my sites when I submit the site to Bing Webmaster Tools.
They have definetly changed something and it has worked normally in the past year.
Submitting any fresh site to Bing Webmaster results in this error:
The inspected URL is known to Bing but has some issues which are preventing indexation. We recommend you follow https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/webmaster-guidelines-30fba23a to increase your chances of indexation.
After waiting for a couple of days, usually, the homepage gets indexed, but is only visible for USA Traffic (typing site:example.com in bing search bar only shows the result when using USA VPN, everything in Europe shows no search results at all.)
Then, another issue is with another domain is that no matter how many pages I try to index, most of them get the same error prompt to follow Bing Webmaster Guidelines.
Over time, the error stops and some pages get indexed. Mostly categories and archives, and ONE post - out of 55. All other posts get the error prompt and won't get indexed after waiting for weeks. There is no reason for this to happen. A day later and it shows "search results removed" for the entire URL or some pages. Another day later and the search results removed gets removed and 7 pages out of a total 70 remain indexed for weeks, nothing changing. The URLs which don't get indexed get the follow Bing Webmaster Guidelines error when trying submit indexation. There is literally no reason for this to happen.
Bing seems to be completely broken at this point. No malware, no duplicate content, everything has worked fine in the past for 10+ of my domains over the past year, until this year started. Now I can't get anything indexed, and I'm not the only person having this issue.
Has anyone here had the same problem, is this an instant penalty? I get this even with fresh sites I try to index. Could this be a hosting / nameserver issue? Did anyone manage to find a workaround for Bing indexing?
