cannot get website to appear on bing

[cerberus]

Hi cbs and burt,
Thank you for your replies.

I can understand the redirect reason, https://XXXX.com being redirected to https://XXXX.com/shop
So I see the reason why bing will not index https://XXXX.com.

But I dont know why they will not index https://XXXX.com/shop or https://XXXX.com/shop/index.php.

Here are the 3 messages I get from bing (I again added urls to be crawled earlier today, I have been trying for a couple of weeks now)

https://XXXX.com

https://XXXX.com/shop

https://XXXX.com/shop/index.php

(and I have no idea why it says 1st jan 2006 on this one)


Maybe they takes a long time to index ? but then even on the https://XXXX.com/shop/index.php url bing says at the top "cannot appear on bing" I thought that is the one they would of indexed

So I am at a loss.

Hi burt,
I am not a member of the co-op, it maybe some time if I ever become a member, the site will have to start making money before spending a monthly outlay, and the site is for my brother when finished, so I doubt if co-op membership will ever happen.

But I should be able to do it manually, I have even tried the bing index it now, the instructions say I should get a reply, like a HTTP 200 response, your submission was accepted and processed. But all I get is a blank white page (the key for index now has been uploaded, and it is accessible, I checked).

When I checked the urls in bing it said for the index.php there were some warnings, it said it was because I had not put any "Alt text" on the image files I had used, as I had added decoration images in the footer section I went through and added Alt Text, the instructions I found on the internet said if they were just decoration images all I had to do was add : alt text "" , so I did that on the decoration images
