tried to submit my web-site www.g-recorder.com to Bing but it claims it's invalid URL, seems it's because of hyphen in the name. Is there any way to overcome this limitation?
No, just go ahead and post to the thread.

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.

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.
:) how many times? i tried already about 10, should I continue? :)
Brett I have the same problem, this wont go in

This is a fairly new issue as I submitted a url with a dash within the last few weeks.
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.
