I would like outdated content removed from Bing search results, the Content Removal page is less than helpful to say the least. I'm not removing my own site's content, but content which is outdated from other sites.
I have two URLs which I would like removed, upon entering the data on the Content Removal page, I get the following:
"The URL you submitted still works on the web and isn’t a broken link. You can only request an outdated cache removal for this page. Please enter a word that appears in the cached version of the page but no longer appears on the web page."
This is not entirely correct. The URL does work and technically is not broken, it automatically forwards to another page. The Content Removal page therefore thinks it is live and will not remove it.
Additionally, when the remove outdated cache option is selected, the following is requested:
"The URL you submitted still works on the web and isn’t a broken link. You can only request an outdated cache removal for this page. Please enter a word that appears in the cached version of the page but no longer appears on the web page."
For cached page text I enter: zynperor
I get the following reply from the removal page:
"The highlighted word does not appear in the Bing cached version of the page. Please enter a word that appears in the cached version of the page but no longer appears on the web page."
The highlighted word does appear in the cached version of the page. A word has been entered that appears on the cached version of the page but no longer appears on the web page, as the URL to be removed, http://creator.wonderhowto.com/zynperor/ automatically forwards to http://www.wonderhowto.com/community/
While looking at the cached page at the following URL, zyperor - the text entered, is even highlighted.
Links needing removed:
