How to remove site from Bing?

**Casinorep** · 4 June 2010, 3:25 am

I've removed them from Bing Webmaster Tools but not sure if that will remove them altogether from their serps.

Remove sitemap from Bing or alternatively, leave sitemap file intact, and remove all files within the sitemap. It may take some time, but they will be removed eventually.

I am curious. Why would you feel that it is necessary to remove your site from Bing? Does this affect the search engines for Google or Yahoo in some way?

Just wondering, and still trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks!

Well I have two sites that were almost identical. And I think that hindered both of them from getting ranked well. So I decided to drop one in order to concentrate on the other.

You can also place a noindex Meta tag specifically for MSNBot in the headers of the web pages you don't want it to index.

I think you would have to contact Bing directly to have your listings removed.

A site with no sitemap may still be indexed by a search engine to a certain degree. Sitemaps only assist search engine spiders to index your site more efficiently.

Don't forget about robots txt also...

What if the domain is already parked and has no site linked to it? Obviously you can't add robot.txt to it but still want it dropped out of the SE indexes quickly.

OK,

If you are using someone else's parking page such as one developed by your host or dns provider, then it may be more difficult.

If you are parking it yourself, it depends on how you parked it.

If it is in it's own site folder then you could add a robots txt and the meta tags, if not you should consider taking over the parking of it.

Why not just do a permanent redirect? Won't this pass the link juice from one site to the other?

In the situation you describe I would put in place 301 redirects from the site you are deprecating to the site where you are now focusing your energy. That will both pass any "link juice" from the site you are deprecating to the new site and cause the deprecated site to be removed from the search engine index as the pages are spidered. Thepokerkeep has it right in his comment above.

Well I did the 301 redirect and that actually dragged the site that I want to rank down by 10 pages. And as soon as I parked those domains, my site jumped 10 pages. So I think 301 redirecting is bad for my health at this point.

**Michael I sent you a pm, please respond when you get a chance. Thanks.**
