Hello Forum members

We have a website http://www.hiepinetop.com

This website is performing well in Google & Yahoo, but in bing only home page of this website is indexed i.e http://hiepinetop.com (non www version of website).

We have already implement non www to www redirection on this website several months ago.

But still there is indexing problem in Bing.

Can anyone let me know what is the issue with this website.

Thanks & Regards

Gatesix,

they are correct. You currently have 16 pages indexed:

http://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Ahiepinetop.com&form=IE8SRC&src=IE-SearchBox

Please review our FAQs for help getting more pages indexed.

Donald,

I think you might be confused. It really doesn't matter if the site your link is residing on is www or non-www. More important is the structure of the URL they are using to link to you--especially if your site is not canonicalized using 301 redirects. When not redirected, we treat the non-www and the www version of your site as two different sites, so if you have links out there with and without the www, your whole site rank is affected. Canonicalizing your site to one or the other will automatically cause us to combine all the links and apply them to the chosen version of your site and may help increase your site rank.
