Re: why i cannot submit my web-site with hyphen to Bing?

Hi,

I dont think there is any problem with your URL name, and i can confidently say this because i had searched for the URL with hyphen in bing search results  and in search results there are websites with hyphen in URL

when I input http://www.g-recorder.com/ on http://www.bing.com/docs/submit.aspx, I receive reply: "Please enter a valid URL with the format: http://www.example.com/", tried another site with hyphen:http://www.im-history.com/, the same result.

do you have any other explanation?

Basically the search engines treat a dash as a space and an underscore as a hard character. 

I dont think there is any problem with your URL

so is it a problem of Bing submission script?

Currently, we are having a few difficulties which I just received confirmation from the indexing team. They are currently working on it, but said that if you try a couple times, it should work. If not, and your site isn't in the index at all , please post on the not in index thread and I will work to get your home page (only) into the index.

Thank you

I didn't have any problem before, only problem I have is actually getting bing to index the urls in the sitemap, it indexed like 2

I have had the same problem, my site: www.aurorajewlery.us will not pass the valid site id either. I have contacted bing help and they tell me they are working on the problem with high priority. It would seem to me the .us extension is my problem. I think there is a major problem with the submission engine bing is using limiting website addresses. Good luck and let me know what you find out.
