Google and Bing ranking is crazy

Since 2017 I had this site trinitysisters.net (DR30) and it never ranked in Google. In Bing, Yandex and Baidu I held the 1.st. position for a few keywords. But in Google the site popped up on page 20. Recently the site also disappeared from Bing. It is not in Bing at all now. When I search I get a ton of sites who LINK to my sites but not the site itself.

I thought it strange too rank as no 1 in some search engines and no. last in others. So in 2021 I created a similar site trinitysisters.org (DR3) with only 2 posts. Pretty much an empty site. This site ranks pretty much at the top of all 4 search engines. Way higher than the old does in Google and Bing.

Best ranking keyword is pos. 55 in Google and non existing in Bing. Pos 1 in Yandex and Baidu. That's a huge spread.

I checked everything I could imagine. Speed, robots.txt. .htaccess, bugs, code errors, script errors, webmaster tools, GSC, no bad backlinks, bad plugins, online audits...

I don't know if it has any effect today but when I started the site I used AMP - until GSC told me there was a script error in all my AMP pages. That script error caused no rankings in AMP and thus no rankings in normal Google. I found the bug after debugging for days and it was related to a bug in AMP. SO I ditched AMP and the site came somewhat back in Google. I watched it climb to page 3 over a period of 6 months. Until it disappeared again.

Bing only refers to their policies. But I know them by heart now. Site totally comply with Bing and Google policies.
Google just wont rank the site. And is gone from Bing. 3/4 of the pages are not indexed and submitting them to Bing and Google index and submitting sitemaps doesn't help either.

I even researched the Ping function in WordPress to see if the site was blocked due to too many pings, but I haven't been able to investigate it properly. Google and Bing simply blocks the site. I have written to Bing but so far they haven't answered and Google doesn't want to answer support tickets. So they have none.

Neil Patels online audit said about the frontpage: Blocked (No Follow Attribute) - don't know what that means but I can't find any blocks when debugging the code. But it sure indicates something. Just can't figure out what.

Ahrefs and Semrush has nothing on what could be wrong. They don't seem to find anything.

The site is about trafficking and the keyword research tool in Google Ads has blocked all keywords related to that subject so I thought maybe they just don't like sites like this. Just like republican sites were dropped from the index during previous election. Bing and Yandex hasn't blocked these words from their keyword tools.

I hve seen on the net there are lot of frustrated website owners in the same situation.

If anybody has any idea what to do nest I am very open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Some of my websites have been deindexed by bing but perform well on google.

You might be hit by google update.

Looks like you got banned from Bing.

You might want to consider putting in a re-inclusion request but only after you have checked your inbound links thoroughly.

I suspect there's something that you're doing that got you banned, and this is no time to blind ourselves to certain practices.

You have to be completely honest with yourself: What were you doing that violated Bing's website guidelines?

Fix those and then ask for re-inclusion.

I checked everything I could think of. Speed, SEO, Content and Google/Bing policies, back links, keywords, images, authority. Had external experts review the site several times. Yes - the site is probably banned or flagged and no one seems to be able to find the reason...

Personally I suspect either the subject "Trafficking" as keywords like these are banned from Google Keyword tool and can be sensitive. Or the use of profanity on the site. BUT both is clearly not violating Google or Bing Policies. At least the written ones.

But then again - the site has run AdSense for years which means Google policies are not violated.

The site hasn't changed much this year except for new articles and I can't check the numbers in Bing as there is no data due to no traffic the past 6 months. Everything has flatlined in Bing.

I have really no idea what is going on. That's why I need new ideas.

Bing is always hit or miss. My website was ranking well for some time and got deindexed suddenly. Support is doing nothing other than providing generic responses.

It returned after about 6 months without doing anything, but it never returned to the same good ranking positions, despite the fact that the site has more content and is doing better on Google.

Edit: Whitehat website.

How can we unban?

If you doubt that the word 'trafficking' could be the reason then have you checked if there are other websites which use this word and still exist in Search Engines?

Yes, 90% of the sites using the word trafficking is government or NGO sites. Looks like they have a reserved spot in Google because they are considered authorities.

Sometimes it feels like Bing is underdeveloped. They never beat Google anyways.

It's getting weirder. I have another site https://TrinitySisters.org DA 3,thin content with ONLY 2 posts but not about trafficking. A pretty thin site actually but it ranks pretty damn good in Bing and somewhat lower in Google. I am going to test that YMYL thing by writing a post on trafficking on the .org blog and see if it gets hit the same way as https://trinitysisters.net

If a thin, low DA site ranks higher than a 25 times bigger site with DA 30 there must be something occult going on.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! That's what keeps me going at night!

I think you facing the problem for google update.
