Bing URL Submissions Plugin

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   As others have reported, this plugin delisted my website from Bing search results. It does the opposite of what it is supposed to do. Two pages from my site ranked number 1 and 2 in both Bing search and Co-Pilot. I wanted to take Bing search more seriously, as Google is far superior, so I decided to create a Bing Webmaster Tools account. I added this plugin to my website, and the following week, I saw my website completely disappear from the search results.

   Great plugin and does what is needed. The only issue is it sends posts that are scheduled as well so ?p= URLs so creating a bit of an SEO issue with that URL indexing and when it does turn to publishing as proper permalink.

   It’s been a few months since the website has registered with Bing Webmaster Tools and has submitted a sitemap but is not indexed. I hope by using this plugin the website will be indexed later, but it turns out to be the same. It’s easy to use but unfortunately doesn’t work well.

   I followed the instruction 3 times but the process just failed: the API key generated from the ‘Bing Webmaster Tools’ page is not recognized. I had to do this manually by copying the XML file to the root of my website directory. Plugins for Google do much better! This topic was modified 4 years, 1 month ago by charlybu.

   I am one of several people whose website was removed from Bing SERP after adding this plug in. Although my website meets all the guidelines / requirements of BING and I had zero technical issues and was passing all tests, I was initially told by BING help center (after weeks of waiting) that the site wasn’t meeting requirements, which I knew was unlikely. So when I pushed the issue, it was escalated and my site was indexed again. However, a few weeks later my site was once again de-indexed. This time I removed the plugin then contacted Bing again and had to wait months (something about you can’t submit another request within a month of another??) for the issue to be once again resolved. Which it eventually was and, because I no longer use the plugin, this time I have remained on the index (but after months off, I’ve lost my good rankings). I gave two stars to the plug in rather than one because the support team did try!

   It does what it says, big help not to code the stuff. URL Submission API Easy to plug-in API solution that websites can call to notify Bing whenever website contents is updated or created allowing instant crawling, indexing and discovery of your site content. Thanks a LOT!

   Brak kontroli nad automatem wysyłającym strony do zaindeksowania – wtyczka robi co chce i przykładowo wysyła strony z logami z zewnętrznych systemów z połaczeń po API uznając że są to aktualne strony – SZKODA instalować lepiej z Paluch wpijać adresy które chcemy zaindekcować w pierwszej kolejności przez Panel binga.
