How to Overcome from Bing Sitemap Submission Error on Bing Webmaster?
There are over 20% of web users are using Bing for making search
query. So we should also optimize our site for Bing search engine. And for
optimizing a site for Bing we must submit our site on Bing webmaster tool.
Previously I have shown that how we can submit our site inBing webmaster tool for indexing our site, as well as how to submit sitemap onBing. But I have seen that after submitting sitemap to Bing webmaster tools
there are many sites having problem that all contents from website is not
indexing.
Almost all major search engine who receive sitemap from
webmasters they index site per page basis. And in per page they index 150
article’s URL. So if you have 600 articles in your site then Bing will index the
whole article’s URL in 4 times in 4 pages.
For example-
- http://www.bloggerspice.com/sitemap.xml?page=1 for 150 URL
- http://www.bloggerspice.com/sitemap.xml?page=2 for next 150 URL
But if any issue arises in search engine then Bing will
index less than 150 URLs. And in some case it will display status NA. But if they successfully index all
URLs then it will display Success status.
So after first submission if you see NA status with warning icon then you have to fix it as soon as
possible. Otherwise Bing web crawler won’t
able to crawl your website’s URL in their search engine.
