Stop Bing from indexing my website

Hello DP,

Here is my robots.txt file as of right now:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /

Code (markup):

I also include the following on each page of my website as an added precaution.
Some sites recommend the following snippet, others recommend robots.txt, so I figured I can't fail with both.

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"/>

HTML:

Google does not index my page, as I wanted.
But when I search for my site on Bing (http://www.bing.com/search?q=fortninja.com), the home page comes up as a result.
How do I stop Bing from indexing my site if I've already put the robots nofollow and noindex in my pages and blocked all pages from indexing in robots.txt?

Thanks,
-Tony

 

Bing takes time. You have to wait. Neither bing index the website fast as compare to google and same to remove case also.

 

Google took 1-2 weeks to index my site and 1-2 weeks to take it off when I blocked it from indexing.
It has been more than three months, I blocked my site in 2012.
Is it possible that Bing is actually taking this long?
If it is taking this long or is ignoring my block, is there a Bing Webmaster Tools or something that will let me manually remove the site from searches? Google has it.


Thanks,

I am not sure, just block bing and yahoo bot both. May be this will help.

 

So block bingbot as a separate User-Agent?

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /
User-Agent: bingbot
Disallow: /

By the way bingbot is now Yahoo's bot as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Slurp

Try this, mate:
http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster/

 

Used my microsoft account, it gave me the option to remove a URL or directory from bing searches.
Unfortunately, it only works for 90 days, then expires.
I'll just renew it then, I guess.
I'm also changing robots.txt to this:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /
 
User-Agent: bingbot
Disallow: /

Code (markup):

Hopefully that will help.

Thanks!

Who knows, when it comes to re-index time, Bing might finally realise it shouldn't be indexing your site? Might. You could always try tweeting Duane Forrester about it.

 

I'm not very optimistic that Bing will ever stop indexing my site...
Renewing every 90 days isn't too bad, new task on my checklist.

Okay, the manual index blocking finally worked and my pages no longer show up in Bing searches!

Thanks for your help!

Handy to know if you don't want to get found on Bing and have not bought an exact match domain so you can get found on page 1 then...
