       Okay, woah woah woah WOAH!!!Bing just removed *all* "backlinks" from their Webmaster Tools (that shows all pages linking to my blog).The best part? I now have a "recommendation" that I don't have enough backlinks, which can decrease my visibility on Bing. Like... yeah, you just removed them all. Thanks, I guess.Also, nope, I still haven't received anything from their support.Now... why is Google so much worse again? :areonVThink: ---To be honest, I'd really appreciate some help with this, because I don't *want* to switch back to Startpage. I like DDG with their way of blocking GenAI images and their compatibility with the AI filterlist (uBlock ^^), but when my own blog isn't available there, then I'll get insane. It's not just for me, but... like... everyone who isn't using Google might be using a search engine that uses Bing in the backend (*and some use search engines that build their own index, I know), and that means that they'll never find my blog without directly searching for it and needing to visit other websites first.#bing #google #seo

       @SteffoSpieler@fellies.social I'm a dummy so forgive me for asking but, what is it that you need help with? You need a better search engine suggested?

       @raccoon I want my blog to be searchable in Bing.(See this blog post I had written about this: https://steffo.blog/a-message-to-bing-that-theyll-never-read/)

       @SteffoSpieler@fellies.social I asked chat gptNo I'm kidding. But IIRC they have a page where you can directly submit your website to request it to be added, again IIRC you have to verify ownership.I will boost your post so hopefully you can get better help than my goofy ass can provide.

       @raccoon I already did all that. (That's the "Webmaster Tools" I mentioned.)I gave them my sitemaps; I even added all my posts to their manual "IndexNow" page (which... is now gone?) and it even says that my sites can be shown on Bing. They just still don't show up.And now I'm actively lied to by Bing (me having no backlinks). WTF.
