As a website staff deeply involved in the operation of AnQiCMS, I am well aware of the importance of content being indexed by search engines in time for website traffic and SEO performance.The link push feature of Bing search engine, designed to help websites quickly inform Bing of new content releases, thereby accelerating crawling and indexing.However, in actual operation, Bing Push occasionally encounters failure situations.The following will detail the common reasons for Bing push failures and their troubleshooting approaches.

The Bing feed feature is one of the important links in website content operation in the Aiqi CMS.When we publish new content or update old content in the background, the system will automatically try to push these links to Bing.If you encounter a push failure prompt, you can usually investigate from the following aspects.

The primary reason may beBing API interface configuration information is incorrect. Anqi CMS supports two ways of Bing push:Submit APIandIndexNow API.These two methods both require obtaining the corresponding key or API Key from Bing Webmaster Tools, and then concatenating it in a specific format to form the complete push interface address.If the API Key is copied incorrectly, the address concatenation format is incorrect, or extraneous spaces, newline characters, and other invisible characters are included when copied, it will cause the push request to be incorrectly identified by the Bing server, resulting in push failure.Submit APIMake sure the API key is correct when,https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/api.svc/json/SubmitUrlbatch?apikey=correct combination; whileIndexNow APIthe API Key needs to be combined withhttps://www.bing.com/indexnow?key=Combine, and pay particular attention to the accuracy of the key.

Secondly, for the selectionIndexNow APIof the users to be pushed,The website verification file is missing or misconfiguredis a common fault point.IndexNow APIThe website must have a directorypublicwith a name that includes the API Key..txtFile, and the file content must be exactly consistent with the API Key. If this verification file has not been correctly uploaded to the websitepublicThe directory, or filename, or file content has any deviation, Baidu will be unable to verify the ownership of the website, thereby rejecting the push requests from the site.Ensure that the file path, filename, and file content completely meet the requirements of Baidu站长工具.

the website server'snetwork connection or firewall settingsAlso may prevent Bing push from being successful.Auto CMS needs to send a network request to the Bing API server when performing push operations.If the server network of the website is unstable, there is a DNS resolution problem, or the server firewall configuration is too strict, blocking access to external specific ports or IPs, then Anqi CMS will not be able to connect smoothly with the Bing API server, and the push will naturally fail.Suggest checking the network connectivity of the server and ensuring that the firewall allows outgoing requests to the Bing API address.

In addition,The site in the Bing Site Manager tools is not properly verified or there are other account issues.It may also cause push failure.Before configuring Bing Push in AnQi CMS, the website must be successfully added and verified in Bing Webmaster Tools.If the website has not been verified, or there are any warnings or restrictions (such as quotas are full, marked as a spam website, etc.) in the site owner tools, it may affect the normal operation of the push function.Therefore, it is very necessary to regularly log in to Bing Webmaster Tools to check the website status and API usage.

Finally,The URL being pushed has a problem.It is also an indispensable factor.The standard URL of the website is usually pushed by Anqi CMS.If these URLs are considered invalid in Bing's eyes (for example, returning 404 errors, content being blank pages, or incorrect URL formats), or if there are other technical reasons that prevent Bing's crawler from accessing these URLs, even if the Bing server receives a push request, it may still be deemed failed due to the inability to process or detect issues.Before pushing, make sure that the page being pushed can be accessed normally and the content is valid, which is the key to increasing the success rate of the push.

When encountering Bing push failure, please first check the initial error information by clicking on the 'Function Management' -> 'Link Push' interface in the 'Anqi CMS' background.Combine the above common reasons for individual inspection, it is usually possible to find the problem and solve it.

Common Questions and Answers (FAQ)

1. How do I confirm that my Bing push function is working properly?

To confirm that Bing Push is working properly, you can first check the "Link Push" page under "Function Management" in the Anqi CMS backend. If the push is successful, it will usually display the success information returned by the Bing server, such as{"d":null}This response.The more reliable method is to log in to Bing Webmaster Tools, go to the 'URL Submission' or the related 'Crawl Statistics' report, and check if there are any link records submitted through the API and their processing status.The data feedback from Bing Webmaster Tools is usually real-time or with a very short delay, which can help you quickly understand the push effect.

2. I use the IndexNow API, but the Bing Webmaster Tools keeps prompting me that my verification file is invalid, what should I do?

If the IndexNow verification file is invalid, please carefully check the following points:

  • File path:Make sure you have:{API Key}.txtThe file has been uploaded to the root directory of the website.publicFor example, if your website's root directory is/www/wwwroot/yourdomain.com/Then the file should be located/www/wwwroot/yourdomain.com/public/{API Key}.txt.
  • File name:The file name must be your API Key string, with no extra characters or extensions.
  • File content: .txtThe content within the file must be exactly the same as the filename (i.e., API Key), and cannot contain spaces, line breaks, or any other text.
  • Accessibility:Try accessing directly in the browserhttps://yourdomain.com/{API Key}.txtConfirm that the file can be publicly accessed. If it cannot be accessed, it may be a problem caused by server permissions, Nginx/Apache configuration, or CMS routing rules.

3. Does Bing have a limit on the number of URLs pushed in a single day? If my website has a lot of content, will it be problematic to push all of it at once?

Yes, Bing and other search engines typically set quotas on the number of URLs submitted via API on a daily or hourly basis to prevent abuse and manage their crawling resources.Although the document of AnQi CMS does not explicitly mention the specific quota of Bing, it is recommended to avoid submitting a large number of URLs at once in practice.If your website has a large amount of existing content that needs to be pushed, it is best to do it in batches or rely on the natural crawling of Bing's crawler.API push feature is mainly used to notify Bing of newly released or updated important content to ensure timely inclusion.For content that already exists and has been indexed by search engines, it is usually unnecessary to resubmit.You can pay attention to the quota usage in Bing Webmaster Tools and adjust the push strategy according to the feedback.
